Letter: Unionists should rejoice at hiding of Sinn Fein - a party that no longer holds the cards of Northern Ireland's future
A letter from GD Wallace:
As a community prone to doomsday thinking, unionists should be inspired by the sight of our politicians promoting how great a country Northern Ireland is and always will be.
Irish republicanism is learning a powerful lesson that romantic platitudes and misleading propaganda can only lead them so far - Sinn Fein representatives on comfortable British salaries while their constituencies remain some of the poorest in the United Kingdom.
Since 1921, Irish nationalism has not produced one convincing plan for a united Ireland.
Whilst our first minister hid on the shores of Lough Neagh, unionism was fighting for a better Northern Ireland for all in Washington.
I shall end with a proverb from the Good Book: "When the righteous triumph, there is great elation, but when the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding." (Proverbs 28:12).
Unionists should be rejoicing at the hiding of Sinn Fein - a party that no longer holds the cards of Northern Ireland's future.
GD Wallace, South Londonderry
