With the collapse of the sane Unionist and Republican parties is there any chance for the Alliance Party or some other non-sectarian party to emerge in Noethern Ireland as an actual player or is this just wishful thinking on my part?
I've said it before and I'll say it again: choosing between SF and the DUP is like choosing between the KDP and NSDAP in Weimar Germany.
I agree, both of those parties are terrible. It's insanely ironic that when things are the calmest the nutjobs get into power and the parties that brought peace are thrown out.
