Ian Paisley says unionist parties were "caught napping" in the recent Assembly Election.
For the first time ever non-unionist parties are in the majority at Stormont.
The North Antrim DUP MP has told the 'New Statesman' that the unionist tactic of attacking Sinn Fein galvanised nationalist voters.
DUP leader Arlene Foster warned 'If you feed a crocodile it will keep coming back for more', remarks she now says she regrets.
Mr Paisley says unionism is now facing its biggest crisis since the 1980's.
