An historic moment. However their right wing opponents may try and collapse the assembly by refusing to take their seats.
What is it with right wing parties and their hatred of democracy ?
Unionism is riven by factions and have made error after error in their decision making. they backed brexit against the wishes of the country. Then they backed the tories who promptly sold them out.
They are using the brexit settlement as an excuse to collapse the government. And its true that they have been shafted by the tories.
The only good news is that the non sectarian allliance party has made progress. They are probably the hope of the province.
