DUP and SF can’t hold us to ransom

The issue of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and the demands of the DUP that the ECJ has no say in Northern Ireland courts is not for the DUP alone.

We have other parties in Northern Ireland and this is another case of if the DUP don’t agree the rest of us are held to ransom. The British government have repeated stabbed the DUP in the back over the years and yet the DUP still haven’t learned that the Conservatives don’t care about Northern Ireland. As the Conservatives try to abolish truth and justice with its Legacy/Amnesty Bill would it not be better for the DUP and all the parties to tell the government that there can be no justice or government with a Bill rejected by all the parties?

Neither Sinn Fein nor the DUP alone should be allowed to decide if we have an assembly by walking out.

I am not a Sinn Fein or DUP supporter but I am a supporter of democracy and accept a majority vote. In the unionist community where I come from many of us agree that we don’t want sectarian politics dominated and controlled by one party especially when we have no government.
