Tom Elliott has rejected a deal with the Conservatives in NI. The deal would have meant a rebranding of the UUP and Conservatives in NI allowing them to become the official Conservative & Unionist Northern Ireland association. This would have given them many advantages including a seat at the top table of decision making in London along with the financial support of Conservative HQ at election time.
However, on this occasion Tom Elliott was unable to see the bigger picture i.e. bringing normal UK politics to Northern Ireland. Isn't that what every Unionist wants?
