Allister tells DUP to face reality - mandatory coalition is unworkable
25 August 2008
STATEMENT BY TUV LEADER JIM ALLISTER MEP
It is time for the DUP to face reality. Belfast Agreement devolution has failed; mandatory coalition is unworkable. The DUP has a clear choice face reality and end the dysfunctional charade at Stormont or go on feeding the insatiable demands of IRA/Sinn Fein.
No matter how it is dressed up, conceding policing and justice now will be seen for what it is, abject surrender to the republican agenda for the sake of clinging to office.
Recent events should demonstrate to even the slowest learner the utter folly of ever believing Sinn Fein had any interest in delivering good government to Northern Ireland, a state it does not believe in, nor can it bear to even speak its name. No self-respecting Unionist should hang around this absurd system of government waiting to be blackmailed by political thugs in suits.
