    The day the party takes seats in Westminister is the day the party loses my vote.

    Similar things were said about ceasefires, decommissioning, Stormont, supporting the police, etc.

    "I wish I was back home in Derry/ Belfast , Armagh, Fermanagh, Tyrone, Down, Antrim and so on.
    That would be a good oath for an Irish person at Westminister.
