Letter: Stormont system – not just Foster – are to blame for this predicament

The Union can only be saved if the mandatory power sharing with Sinn Fein is abandoned immediately.

No other country in the world would put up with such an undemocratic system.

The union will not be saved by a change of leadership – although that is badly needed.

It is the policy of giving Sinn Fein government positions when they have not earned them democratically that must cease.
