Who is Jim Allister?
James Hugh "Jim" Allister, QC is a Northern Ireland Unionist politician and senior barrister. He is the leader of the Traditional Unionist Voice political party, serving as MLA in the Northern Ireland Assembly, where he represents North Antrim.
He was formerly a member of the Democratic Unionist Party, for which he successfully stood for election in 2004 to the European Parliament. He continued as a member of the European Parliament following his resignation from the DUP, and his subsequent establishment of the TUV, but failed to retain his seat at the 2009 European parliamentary elections. In the European Parliament, although an avowed Euro-sceptic, he was also a strong supporter of the Common Agricultural Policy.
