They need to do something radical. Pulling out of the Executive might be just the thing.

Ritchie showed true courage in standing up to the NIO and the rest of the Executive over the UDA bribe money and earned a lot of plaudits for doing so. I hope that she'd do the same again and resign her ministry - should the need arise.
So you don't agree that the SDLP have the right to voice their concerns at how Sinn Fein shafted them re the appointment of a Justice Minister?

Bit rich asking them to do something Sinn Fein didn't have the stomach to do

A waste of time to nominate a Nationalist candidate in the present environment.

Cursing at me instead of answering the question - Picador sinks to a new low.

So the SDLP should not make an issue out of Sinn Fein shafting them, or they will get hammered, yet they should also stop being so nice or else they will loose out to Sinn Fein

Essentially you are saying that the SDLP should be more assertive, but not if that involves highlighting any Sinn Fein skull duggerey

The SDLP are less effective than Sinn Féin. Sinn Féin was the driving force behind the GFA and have - over the course of many years - placed a lot more workers on the ground than the SDLP.

Even worse we could have Gregory Campbell or Nelson McCausland running DCAL and shoving their Ulster Scots, Orange agenda down everyone else's throats and pursuing pet stadium projects in Loyalist ghettoes while never losing an opportunity to portray the GAA as the IRA at play and obstructing an Irish Language act.

Oh!

Is swings and roundabouts not the whole point here? I don't see why 'security' should be accorded such ludicrous priority. Put this together with Ian Paisley junior's attempts to end 50/50 recruitment and you get the very strong impression that the Duppers simply don't want papes involved in policing. Which gives lie to all the sanctimonious twaddle they spout as they talk around that particular piece of vindictive bigotry.

What ridiculous hysteria! Along with the usual demand to answer the question. Except you never actually asked me a question! LOL

I repeat myself once again:
The SDLP (and the UUP) need to make up their minds whether they are IN the Executive; or OUT of the Executive. Otherwise voters don't know what they stand for.
