Stormont can't keep going from one crisis to the next.

Our new paper, Politics for the Common Good, sets out practical changes to end political deadlock and make the Executive work better.

Better politics now. Towards a New Ireland.

Title of policy paper 'Beyond Constant Crisis: Politics for the Common Good'

Image: Stormont is stuck: We have an Executive who still can't agree a Budget, public services struggling to cope and political parties spending more time arguing with each
other than working together. Ordinary people are dealing with
everyday problems while Stormont struggles to get
anything done.

Image: No one party should be able to shut down Stormont: We've seen what happens when one party refuses to take part. Stormont stops working
and everyone pays the price.
We want to change that. If a party refuses to nominate a First Minister,
the next eligible party should get the chance. And we'll change how the Assembly Speaker is elected, so one party can't stop the
Assembly doing its job.

Image: Two Equal Leaders = Two Equal Titles: The First Minister and deputy First Minister have exactly the same powers. They should be called Joint First Ministers

Daniel McCrossan had a few things to say to Jim Allister on the BBC last night.

People are sick and tired of the shouting, division and constant threats to bring down Stormont.

There are real problems facing our communities. Surely it’s time we started focusing on fixing them?

“Big daddy Jim Allister”, “Reverend Gaston” and Jamie Bryson, Daniel McCrossan had a few home truths for the DUP at Stormont yesterday.

But beyond the exchanges, Daniel’s message was clear: It’s time to move beyond division and focus on issues affecting people’s everyday lives.
