Stormont Talks: Brokenshire To 'reflect' Amid Ongoing Deadlock
http:// www.bbc .co.uk/ news/uk -northe rn-irel and-404 89510
How can Mrs May expect there to be a workable solution to power sharing at Stormont, when she is snug in bed with one of the main parties ?
The Good Friday Agreement was a marvellous outcome, after so many years of fear and violence, so I am at a loss to understand why a British PM should endanger it now ?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Sinn Féin has stipulated (among many other ludicrous demands) that it won't share power with DUP leader Arlene Foster until an inquiry into her controversial and expensive RHI Renewable Heating Incentive (RHI) scheme is concluded and that inquiry is expected to take more than a year. So that’s that then. The DUP may have to share power (if it’s deemed necessary for anybody to do so) with somebody else.
My views on the devolved assemblies in the UK are well known. I am opposed to any devolved governments which make any part of the UK governed substantially
differently to any other. The “Good Friday Agreement” was a Pig-in-a-Poke which gave terrorists and murderers Get out of Jail Free cards and saw some of them promoted to government. A robust society does not do deals with terrorists.
Northern Ireland has been without its infamous “power sharing Executive” for more than six months. Nobody has died as a result and life goes on. So my suggestion would be to simply continue this situation as the norm as the Executive is clearly an unnecessary layer of government. The Six Counties can simply revert to being governed in the same way as the counties in England are.
And as Islay has correctly pointed out, the Northern Ireland arrangements broke down six months before the general election and has failed to be reconvened ever since. That failure has nothing to do with Mrs May's agreement with the DUP.

Yep , although I just keep hoping no-one else gets blown-up/blasted/knee-capped. The thought of returning to those days is not to bear thinking about
