Jim Allister: There's never been a better time for unionists to demand change at Stormont
Rather than committing to a resumption of the failed institutions all democrats in Northern Ireland should unite in demanding fundamental democratic rights, namely the universal right to have a system where parties can be voted out of government and the people have the right to change their government.
All of which is denied by the mandatory coalition system which DUP wishes to re-establish.

With unionists holding the balance of power at Westminster there has never been a better time for unionists to not only demand change but achieve it.
If these flaws in Northern Ireland’s devolution are not rectified now they never will be.
