Northern Ireland has not had a government for over two years — how is it surviving?

With Brexit just months away, there are many on both sides of the Irish border that fear a return to the dark old days of terror in the event of a no-deal divorce from the EU.

"There [are still] a lot of unresolved crimes and murders from the Troubles on both sides of the sectarian divide," he said. Professor Little said another element of the power-sharing agreement was its failure to promote political moderation, despite that being its primary intention.

Very well I guess. And please stop asking questions in your headlines. ABCaustralia

Australia has not had a worthwhile opposition for 6 years.

Businesses lead and Govt's regulate. Get the rules right and govt could, in theory be reduced. You could almost say we only have govt for the purpose of having elections. It's not like the varying department's output changes when leaders change.

Better than Australia

nite0wl After posting something about Stiff Little Fingers I thought this was an algorithm suggestion until I saw you retweeted it.

Ipswich QLD is a bit of a headless beast too, so far it has survived and managed to manage its $380,000,000 budget. I guess that goes to show how big a waste of money 'representatives' can be. You could just vote them in for 1 year in 5 to set strategy and that is all you need.

Probably surviving better than countries that do have a government, considering the pile of 💩 most of them are.

The US has survived over 2 yrs without govt why not N. Ireland?

Why didn't you put this idea up before Australian election. If everybody voted informally we wouldn't have one either & maybe NZ would invade and rule Australasia? sixcounties sixstates nodifference abcnews nzherald auspol

He has his own aisle at the supermarket, when is the world not enough? If they were anything like the Australian versions then its hardly surprising, Noisy, bad service, terrible food at a price not justified by the quality. The problem with building a chain is that you need to spend a lot of time managing the product if your name is on it Very sorry to hear about all those job losses in the very competitive UK market😢 Big fan of Jamie's😆
