"But again there were referendums....."
I've described the circumstances in which those referendums were held - tell me where my accounts are not accurate.
"They are now power sharing..."
I've pointed out the fragility of the power-sharing agreement (minister's wife putting it about etc.) and I am aware that a bottle thrown in the wrong direction on one of the triumphalist Orange Lodge marches could destroy it tomorrow.
I have no answer to the present situation, I have never claimed such, but I know that maintaining the status quo (as is being argued for here), doesn't come even close.
What I am saying is that if the situation doesn't change radically we will be burying our children and grandchildren in the cause of a partitioned Ireland.
