Default President Biden offers the DUP Cash if they agree to work with Sinn Féin

Yes Big Cash

But the DUP refuses to work with Sinn Féin



Biden dangles $6bn investment if Northern Ireland
power sharing agreed



[Joe Biden has dangled a $6bn (£5bn)
carrot in front of Northern Ireland’s
leaders with a promise to boost
the country’s economy with
US investment if power sharing is restored.

In a thinly veiled message to the
Democratic Unionist party,
which has been boycotting the devolved
government for more than a year,
the US president told an audience
in Belfast that American investors were ready to
“triple” the $2bn already invested.

“The simple truth is that peace and
economic opportunity go together,” Biden said.]

The DUP just cannot take that they are in decline in N Ireland, ( rightly so they appear to be in decline too in my opinion).

They didn't even win the most seats at the last assembly election.

There doesn't seem to be any real reasoning with Jeffrey Donaldson either.
So I agree this likely won't work.
The DUP just close their ears to reason and even to what the majority of voters in N Ireland want too.

The people have decided, they are ignoring the wishes of the voters

They should be blocked from standing at the next election if they are not going to govern
