While it will be the case that the people in Northern Ireland will differ in opinion, especially when it comes to issues such as language and borders which can impinge on identity, these cannot be dealt with by effectively holding the country to ransom. It doesn't matter if is a language act or a protocol, this cannot be the way to achieve any objective in a democracy.
It remains the case that more people voted for parties or independents who are willing to get on with the job.
People are suffering.
