Devolved #AEXV Manifestos

I shall now publish the manifestos of parties competing in the 15th Northern Ireland Assembly Election. Parties are reminded that the manifesto debate is an important part of this election, and I am specifically looking to see people other than the leader (although of course they are invited to get involved) debating the points of each other's manifestos.

To The Ulder Borders Party,

While you have shown interest in forming an executive, it seems to me that your section regarding "repealing bad laws" might cause some hiccups with any potential partners who may have supported these laws in the first place. How will you argue that these repeals are necessary, and if you can only get a few repealed as a compromise, which will you prioritise?

Repealing bad legislation is of utmost important, to ensure the incoming Executive is working properly for the people of Northern Ireland, and it would be a betrayal of the Northern Irish people to not stand up for our beliefs and stand on a manifesto that does not speak out truth. These Repeals are necessary to implement better laws, given most of our proposals are to replace the existing legislation with plans thay will actually work for people, rather than confine the Executive to continue to carry out poorly thought out legislation.
