Reform Stormont: No more start-stop government

Stormont needs reform. The two biggest parties, DUP and Sinn Fein, are both able to pull the plug when things don’t go their way. This has to end.

Why is this important?

Stop-start government harms us all - impacting on the length of our NHS waiting lists, the state of our rivers, and worsening the cost-of-living crisis.

The Northern Ireland Affairs Committee at Westminster, which has oversight of the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, has called for a review to look at the options. Just last week, the Tánaiste Micheál Martin said “the time has come for reform”.

The University of Liverpool found that 70% of research participants– including a majority of unionist, nationalist and other participants – agreed that the Good Friday Agreement needs ‘to undergo some changes to work better’.

We need a review now.
