'You don't get to take your ball and go off the pitch just because it's something you don't like'
Alliance MLA Sorcha Eastwood tore into DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson on BBC Question Time on Thursday night using his own words.
"So on this show, around this desk a number of years ago you said 'there is only one of the five parties who are refusing to go into government and it is wrong, in my opinion, in a democracy that one party representing maybe 25% of the people is able to veto the establishment of a government. That is not democracy and it has to change'.""Let me explain why I agree. It's not just a cheap soundbite. This is about people and this is our constituency of Lagan Valley.
"You have made a decision to do this and it's the wrong decision. We understand that you have a problem but here is where it becomes everyone else's problem. The moment has been described as one of the "most excruciating ever" on the programme with UUP leader Doug Beattie calling the debate "spicy". "The politics of exclusion in Northern Ireland doesn't work and it saddens me that the Alliance Party of all parties are the party who are now talking about exclusion.. that unionists should get out of the way. We need to work together and we need to resolve these issues together.
Ms Eastwood reminded him that he didn't take his seat when elected and said: "The DUP should stop holding Northern Ireland to ransom."
