Democrats should take an oath to abide for good of society
The admission by our first minister (February 6) that Sinn Fein are there and we have to work with them because of their mandate was not, if I remember correctly, a key value espoused by anti-agreement activists during the battles over the Belfast Agreement and the promised Better Deal.
In a democracy, anyone can stand for election but they should be compelled to demonstrate a suitable record of behaviour and take an oath that sets a standard they must abide by for the good of society.
Whilst I wish Mrs Foster (pictured above in her News Letter interview) well in her career, she will not become a Mother in Israel until she is free to progress unhindered by those who are unrepentant for aiding the chariots of evil against her people.
