[QUOTE="The Agrarian, post: 6628437, member: 3656"] From the Irish Times 24th August [SIZE=3] "Sinn Féin says it wants to get the Assembly up and running to make the case against Brexit, but what exactly is stopping them from doing that? The DUP says it will return with no preconditions. Sinn Féin could revive the Assembly and table a motion in favour of the withdrawal agreement – there is, after all, an anti-Brexit majority in the Assembly. It would defuse Johnson’s claims about the anti-democratic nature of the backstop if a majority of the elected representatives of the people of Northern Ireland were voting in favour of it. Unfortunately Sinn Féin continues to use Brexit as a Trojan horse for a united Ireland. The approach is quite at odds with the party’s occasional paeans to unionists that it wishes to persuade and accommodate them with full respect and facility in a new Ireland. But then again, if you were serious about talking to unionists about a united Ireland, you wouldn’t have made Gerry Adams your frontbench spokesman on Irish unity, would you?
