Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:-
“Some might think the system for election of the President in the USA is strange, but it is as nothing compared to the absurdity of what operates in Northern Ireland.
“If the USA had our system, then both Biden and Trump would serve as joint President, each unable to even sign a letter without the other.
“Instead they have the fundamental democratic right, which we are denied, to change their government. In that we should envy them. Voting a party out of government is a fundamental democratic right denied to us under the absurdity of mandatory coalition. And the result – chronic dysfunctionalism in Stormont.”
