How do democrats free themselves from terror?

Can we be told what future there is for power-sharing with democrats who never soiled their hands with the blood of their neighbours or supported terrorism?

I took some heart in Arlene Foster’s statement that she will work for democratic unionists and nationalists while refusing to acknowledge the murderous Easter Rising celebrations.

However, Gregory Campbell previously mentioned that we cannot put the cheer leaders of violent republicanism out of government.

So if Arlene Foster is denied legal rights to form a voluntary coalition with those she counts democrats are we destined to keep Sinn Fein/IRA continuously in power as long as they return members to parliament.

The general public need to know if the past has bound the future and if there is anything democrats plan to do to try and off-load this albatross from our necks.
