As a man who grew up in Northern Ireland I can assure you that Ian Paisley is not viewed as a "symbol of conservatism" in Northern or Ireland.
In 2007 Paisley became First Minister of the devolved Northern Ireland government, with [[Martin McGuiness]], a senior [[Sinn Fein]] leader and former [[IRA]] commander in [[Londonderry]], as his Deputy First Minister. Dr Paisley has announced his intention to step down as First Minister and DUP leader in May 2008.
