Obviously it would be just as much of a problem if Sinn Fein was in that position. But you're arguing a strawman point there. "Sun Fein is worse!!" is really irrelevant to whether or not the DUP being at the center of Westminster is a good idea.

On the absolute most basic of levels, it completely undermines (effectively nullifies??) the Good Friday agreement and I can't understand how anyone could fail to be worried by that alone.

I was simply asking Joey why he said he would actually LIKE Sinn Fein to take their seats when they are well known terrorist sympathisers. Should any terrorist sympathisers have seats at Westminster?

I am extremely worried about the fate of the Good Friday Agreement, believe me nobody wants a return of the hell we lived in for so many years.
