I thoroughly agree with what Alison says, that either party could walk out. voice-verified

Gavin Robinson has said previously he will not pull down Stormont. voice-verified

Now, he might say if he does pull it down, that was in different circumstances. voice-verified

He couldn't have envisaged this or whatever. voice-verified

Sinn Féin have also indicated that they wouldn't. voice-verified

I don't think anybody really in either of those cases fully believes what those people are saying in the right circumstances. voice-verified

They've done it before. voice-verified

I think they will do it again if it suits them. voice-verified

And in quite a cynical way, if you're the DUP or Sinn Féin, would you rather fight an election next May based on your record in government in the executive, which has been pretty shocking, I think it's fair to say, or would you rather fight a very tribal election, orange and green, familiar lines, the DUP standing up for the orange men as they'll present it, Sinn Féin standing up for the local residents and the wider issue of parading? voice-verified

about these orange parades not going through areas where they're not wanted. voice-verified

That is familiar territory. voice-verified

These parties are dying drastically in the polls. voice-verified

We know that. voice-verified

This, I think, gives them an out. voice-verified

And so could you have an election, maybe in November or something of that nature, where these parties think that's their best chance of clinging on to power? voice-verified

But what is the point of that? voice-verified

If we're just coming back voice-verified

to this over and over and over again. voice-verified

There is a profound problem. voice-verified
