It is beyond me why the DUP don't tell Michelle O'Neill to stand down while the RHI inquiry is going on as her department was promoting it and she was involved in meetings about it despite what she is saying in the press.
Simple enough, that one. Arlene was the Minister in charge of the department which designed and launched the scheme and which removed the cap on payments which were left in place in the GB model. Arlene was also in charge of the DUP at the time her SPADS were, allegedly, running around trying to keep the scheme open. Ergo, she has questions to answer and should stand aside until she's absolved of blame. This would be the expected behaviour in most other liberal democracies. This is Norn Iron, however, so if one of 'our ones' has to stand aside, then obviously one of themmuns should stand aside too.
In fairness Snipe, the Shinners mooted joint FMs long before this election was called. for me it also makes sense since it more accurately reflects how parties must work together. I believe the DUPers poo hooed it on the basis that their sole election strategy revolves around convincing their dull witted voters that only them as the largest party stands between yousins and a United Ireland. Pure nonsense of course. Neither side can do a damned thing without the other.
A United Ireland is inevitable on the numbers game with more catholics being born & the older profile Prods dying out quicker plus the fact that so many now chose to leave, me included though don't call me a prod. In the short term the DUPers would be smarter by playing nice and treat all people with a bit less arrogance for that is exactly what drove many voters either to not vote or to vote for more moderate politics.
Not that I've any great love for Mike Nesbitt, but given he was the only person in the entire cabal of self-serving wide boys & girls to have the temerity to suggest you might actually vote for policies rather than sectarian values, he is a sad loss all things considered, Nice try Mike but the proles weren't buying this year.
