  • Writing for Belfast Live, Alliance Party leader Naomi Long said that despite the progress made in the last 10 months, the Stormont institutions are as stable as they were the day before the last collapse.

The article discusses Naomi Long, the leader of the Alliance Party in Northern Ireland, who has called for an end to what she terms "ransom politics" ahead of the 2025 Assembly election. Long criticizes the practice where parties leverage their position to extract concessions, which she believes has led to political instability and frequent collapses of the Northern Ireland Assembly. She emphasizes the need for a stable government that focuses on public service rather than political maneuvering. Long suggests that the upcoming election presents an opportunity for voters to choose parties committed to constructive governance, aiming to foster a more collaborative and less confrontational political environment. She also highlights the importance of addressing key issues like health, education, and economic development without the disruptions caused by political standoffs.
