I think this deserves a comment. Northern Ireland’s politics is complex. I had the great fortune to meet young and smart DUP politicians like @JBuckleyMLA at a conference. What sets them apart: they want to discuss for the benefit of the future of the constituents (thread)
@JBuckleyMLA Much to my surprise - and even though the conference was in Ireland - there was noone from SF. Not engaging, not talking is a major part of why the perception of NI in the UK is often wrong.
@JBuckleyMLA So as much as you might hate SF. As much as you might hate the DUP. If we engage and talk, if we sit down together and try to tackle actual problems on the ground - we might just make little baby steps towards finding solutions.
Alternatively we can just be outraged whenever we read the party name we do not lik.
