@SherdyMe You've lost me. He hasn't been leader for nearly 6 years and the party wasn't unionist then either.
That's what I mean by desperation.
@LanaCassidy01 I have Irish citizenship, too. As well as British.
I've no clue as to what you mean.
@UtrinqusParrot Eh? You just making stuff up now?
@ProtestantVoic1 @cottageireland We're not destroying the GFA: not operating Stormont is the issue.
@bungy_baby No, it doesn't. It suggests the DUP are acting in ways that undermine their own priorities. Nothing more, nothing less.
@SherdyMe Nope. My point was (which you know) that the DUP as unionists are behaving in a way that is counter to their stated objectives.
Your desperation to label Alliance as unionist is just sad tbh.
@Kane40079247 We do. It's the DUP who are the biggest threat to the union right now.
@The_Brain_1968 No. We want reform to make it work.
@Mickmac45049764 I said for the DUP? Who are unionists?
@thepr1ce1 Would having maintained the trust of the EU and the ability to negotiate agreed change be worse than this mess?
We didn't support Brexit which is ultimately what got us here; worse, a blind man on a galloping horse could have seen it all coming.
But not the DUP, apparently...
@theirishobserve Not really my point, here.
@HarriettmooreB2 @jon_ni72 @IRLPatricia @ViewFrmStormont In fairness, we regularly field women in debates and on media which is why you know they're good. 😉
Be nice if a few other parties did now and again so our men can also be seen and heard without it being a manel...
@thepr1ce1 No, but they are the largest party of unionism. And its largest problem right now.
@UrSomeboyYouHi Nah. I'm just baffled.

Shout out to @ThomasJBlain for his commitment as VC last year
RT @CohenWSTaylor: I feel so privileged to have secured the support of @AllianceYouthNI to serve as our next Equality and Welfare Officer.
I feel so fortunate to have worked with our outgoing Executive as Treasurer over the past year and look forward to taking on this new and exiting role. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
It's almost as though the DUP are actively trying to drive undecided voters towards a united Ireland.
The levels of self-harm and the lack of awareness of the damage inflicted on their own cause by Brexit and now this brinkmanship is genuinely hard to comprehend.
