Politically homeless.

Amazing how things change when you have to change.

Retired. NI Ohhhh!

Increasingly creasing.

Confirmation bias for hire!

> Why are sections of unionism so self absorbed that they need to pay to speak to each other about which they agree?

[Daniel Kelly @DKellyDerry]

@SeanDMRooney @lugantseanti @naomi_long PR exists to ensure politics isn't simply winner takes all.

> Gives smaller parties, minority voices representation they would never achieve under a FPTP.

> Co-opting a seat is different. Undermines democratic process and the mandate voters actually gave.

Pee, taken. Agreed.

[Daniel Kelly @DKellyDerry]

There is a serious problem with co-opting.

All parties do it, and should refrain.

Allow the seat to become available within a democratic process, not direct ownership.

When the SDLP call to your door, ask them why should you vote for them if Stormont is in its 'dying days'.

> They have yet to propose any alternatives to government beyond moving it a few streets away, despite being in opposition for numerous mandates.

Stormont in its 'dying days', warns SDLP Leader

[Daniel Kelly @DKellyDerry]

@lugantseanti @naomi_long Can't explain democrat away..

[Daniel Kelly @DKellyDerry]

@lugantseanti @naomi_long Coption allows allegations of nepotism and can raise questions regarding ability, and control of the person gifted the seat.

The seat should be democratically awarded.

[Daniel Kelly @DKellyDerry]

@lugantseanti @naomi_long That's democracy.

@DiscipleElland @peadarmor @irish_news Agreeing with something daily doesn't challenge anyone or create momentum.

New perspectives are needed.

[Daniel Kelly @DKellyDerry]

@peadarmor @DiscipleElland @irish_news Circular conversations don't add to anything. Same old..

[Daniel Kelly @DKellyDerry]

@DiscipleElland @irish_news New, is my argument.

Brian is the same old...

[Daniel Kelly @DKellyDerry]

@PaddyShanks You'll call for an immediate investigation into Ulster Resistance and it's ripples of death?

Elected reps involved are still involved in politics.

> Unionism attacking unionism publicly and privately

> London totally disengaged

> Dublin reunification document

> Unionst media slowly pulling back

> SDLP show of stunts

> Alliance animated and frustrated

- Sinn Fein will never get a chance like this again...

@BenHureTheFirst @moneillsf Would that make any of this right?

@News_Letter Re: DUP internal Donaldson inquiry:

@JimGamble_INEQE - What stage is the inquiry at & do you foresee a report coming before January 2027?

- Have you been cooperating with the Met Police Westminster inquiry?

Approx. 100 lives taken by weapons imported by Ulster Resistance.

This is the height of NI in the union debate...

[Arlene O' Neill @arleneseesit]

Those who vote to stay in the Union know what they are voting for, those who vote for a UI haven’t the first clue what they are voting for, how they will be governed and what it will cost them personally.

[Daniel Kelly @DKellyDerry]
