Unionists, who have never learned from what they term as past betrayals by the Westminster government, is feeling nervous. They recognise that demographics are against them and the toxic atmosphere generated by Brexit in particular has created an increased groundswell to test opinion on Irish unity.\n\nSinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald wants a border poll but there is widespread agreement that it would be a divisive move at a time when Northern Ireland's more pressing day-to-day problems need sorting out.\n\nWhatever one says, the ideological divide is always there between the two big parties.\n\nBut as they and the other local politicians return to talks tomorrow they know that public opinion demands they find a compromise and return to work at Stormont.\n\nThe problems that should unite them far outweigh the demands that divide them.\n\nWhile Mrs Foster is correct to point out that civic and business life has soldiered on heroically during the three years that politicians have abdicated their responsibilities, it cannot be denied that the underlying problems in public services are at crisis point.", "keywords": [], "meta_keywords": ["belfasttelegraph"], "tags": [], "authors": [], "publish_date": null, "summary": "", "article_html": "", "meta_description": "As Northern Ireland greets 2020, just a year shy of the centenary of the foundation of the state, there will be many who hope DUP leader Arlene Foster means to deliver on her new year m", "meta_lang": "en", "meta_favicon": "https://cdn-02.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/static/65878e062b4890b48f61c325264e809c8a5eee53/img/favicon-belfasttelegraph.ico", "meta_data": {"keywords": "belfasttelegraph", "description": "As Northern Ireland greets 2020, just a year shy of the centenary of the foundation of the state, there will be many who hope DUP leader Arlene Foster means to deliver on her new year m", "news_keywords": "Editor's Viewpoint: Time Northern Ireland parties step up and bring back power sharing - BelfastTelegraph.co.uk", "og": {"title": "Editor's Viewpoint: Time Northern Ireland parties step up and bring back power sharing - BelfastTelegraph.co.uk", "site_name": "BelfastTelegraph.co.uk", "description": "As Northern Ireland greets 2020, just a year shy of the centenary of the foundation of the state, there will be many who hope DUP leader Arlene Foster means to deliver on her new year m", "url": "https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/editors-viewpoint/editors-viewpoint-time-northern-ireland-parties-step-up-and-bring-back-power-sharing-38825563.html", "type": "article", "image": {"identifier": "https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/incoming/0ed4b/38825614.ece/ALTERNATES/h342/Stormont%20facade%202.jpg", "type": "image/jpeg", "width": 529, "height": 342}}, "twitter": {"card": "summary", "site": "@BelTel", "url": "https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/editors-viewpoint/editors-viewpoint-time-northern-ireland-parties-step-up-and-bring-back-power-sharing-38825563.html", "title": "Editor's Viewpoint: Time Northern Ireland parties step up and bring back power sharing", "description": "As Northern Ireland greets 2020, just a year shy of the centenary of the foundation of the state, there will be many who hope DUP leader Arlene Foster means to deliver on her new year m", "image": {"src": "https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/incoming/0ed4b/38825614.ece/ALTERNATES/w135square/Stormont%20facade%202.jpg"}, "domain": "BelfastTelegraph.co.uk"}, "published-date": "Wed, 01 Jan 2020 07:00:00 GMT", "fb": {"app_id": 321217294648139}, "apple-itunes-app": "app-id=1229633020, app-argument=http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/editors-viewpoint/editors-viewpoint-time-northern-ireland-parties-step-up-and-bring-back-power-sharing-38825563.html"}, "canonical_link": "https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/editors-viewpoint/editors-viewpoint-time-northern-ireland-parties-step-up-and-bring-back-power-sharing-38825563.html"} |
