GRABBING AT STRAWS..

You ALMOST have to feel sorry for DUP Leader Peter Robinson. ALMOST.
DUP Leader Peter Robinson has called for immediate changes to the working of the Executive which could enable any three parties to make a decision. Currently both the DUP and Sinn Fein can block any initiative they oppose. In a speech to supporters in Foyle, he said the present system encouraged stalemate and "party political point-scoring over good government". Mr Robinson called for an "informal non-binding agreement" between the Executive parties.
Informal? Hmmm. Non-binding? Hmmm.
Sorry Peter but you are showing your hapless desperation here. Trying to beg Sinn Fein to give you a little window dressing in order to obscure the essential dysfunctionalism of the basis for government here is pathetic. There can be NO good government until mandatory power sharing is replaced by voluntary power sharing and terrorists are removed from government.
DUP, Northern Ireland.

David,
Are we to take it that you now support power-sharing with the SDLP? That brings you up to the Sunningdale position. Quite an advance if it's true.
I support the right of democrats to agree with whom they wish to work on an entirely voluntary basis. I support the idea of the Executive being held to answer by an effective opposition.
"That brings you up to the Sunningdale position."
LOL!
