Peter Robinson, leader of the majority pro-British Democratic Unionist Party and the government’s first minister resigned in 2015. This made the multiparty executive branch obsolete since it could not function if either of the two largest parties refused to participate. The controversy arose after Kevin McGuigan was murdered and members of the police claimed that the IRA was still active. Proponents argue that leaders from Britain, Ireland and Sinn Fein should start negotiations to repair the peace agreement and restore the power-sharing government. Opponents argue that the murder of Mr. McGuigan proves that there is too much unrest to build a power-sharing government right now.

Ideally, yes. But it needs to be changed so that one party can't bring down the Assembly
@8CWNV9J6yrs6Y
Yes, but a united Ireland but be preferred
@9F2MBPC3yrs3Y
We should just leave them to sort themselves out.
@9GWBW5C2yrs2Y
I believe two-partisan quotas is a mistake in the first place. NI should be governed same way as every other UK region
@9DBHK4S3yrs3Y
Only once the unionist concerns about the protocol are fully addressed.
@938F75C4yrs4Y
Disinterested in Northern affairs - they need to look after themselves and their own affairs.
@8C5RDBV6yrs6Y
Yes, but only in order to maintain peace in the short term. Attempts should be make to promote peaceful unification with dual citizenship and recognition of the cultural differences of the north that both sides can agree on.
@97VNX5X3yrs3Y
A revised one should be implemented based on demographic changes
