That's a nice theory Sarah, but with 102 seats for such a piddly small country, they know they've a good chance of getting in next time anyway.

Throw in a bit of sectarian scaremongering (vote for me or they'll get in) and they're guaranteed.

The truth is people here just aren't qualified to run their own affairs, the problem is that direct rule ministers aren't interested enough.

Of course we want them back. The difference is that if the Assembly were running, we could kick the useless feckers out of office, and maybe ensure that the next shower wouldn't be so careless. Amateurs would wise up and rule properly if they were in danger of losing their Assembly salary. With the direct rule mob, they really don't care, and we have no way at all of making them accountable.

We. Have. No. Choice.

There is no alternative. Direct rule or misrule is the only future for Northern Ireland. I am 100% behind everything you said Beano, but there's no-one else to vote for.

At the last election I made a symbolic vote for the Alliance Party. Not out of any great love of them or their policies, but because they are the only neutral option.
