@mc39763951 @SteveBakerHW It was never opposed by Alliance: we've been consistent.

Oddly, DUP and TUV are the one's doing the volte face on this.

It's almost like they were only ever interested in excluding nationalists, rather than our objective which has always been better govt. 🤔

@mc39763951 @SteveBakerHW Our proposals encourage partnership, rather than vetoes.

No-one is excluded, unless they opt to walk away. Cooperation is incentivised via weighted majority voting on key issues.

So, it's not full voluntary coalition or straight majoritarianism - it retains GFA protections. >

@mc39763951 @SteveBakerHW It also ensures my vote counts equally with every other MLA and that no single party can collapse Stormont again.

It means the right to opt out which every other party enjoys is extended to the two largest parties.

That is fairer, better and more stable.
