Latest suggestion - NI companies would get dual certification, and GB-NI trade that transits through Dublin could be checked there:

1 Nats (acc to DUP) cant be trusted to share power as they supported or at least condoned violence
2 Blair fibbed that SF would give up weapons, accept rule of law immediately etc

For 18 years until 2016 the GFA was widely seen as a means to regulate peaceful local govt/ politics post-Troubles. In those terms it has clearly failed- there is no local govt.
It barely mentions the EU

This is taking place because the outcome of the last election was a complicated picture, with no one party or set of ideas proving to represent the majority of the population. So it’s heartening that someone’s worked out what the country was really voting for, which was to be run by Presbyterian creationists who think the Pope is the anti-Christ and Great Britain was made by GOD on a Wednesday just before he invented the moon.

The main reasons for GFA “failure” to produce local govt is DUP sectarian intransigence on a Language Act. It’s a bilateral treaty between two states, you want to amend or scrap it, you need the consent of the dirty south.Last edited by Lang Spoon; 11-10-2018, 17:40.

The DUP strategy of sending their biggest nutjobs to WM (a backwater for failed frothers till the Stormont collapse) also seems to have backfired, left them all tactics, no strategy. At least if the stories of eyebrows Arlene acceding to resumption of power sharing/the initial December backstop draft before being overuled by Dodds/Wilson etc are true.
