What a mess.

0:00:150:00:16

I'm not surprised that Stormont has imploded.

0:00:160:00:21

It was bound to happen.

0:00:210:00:23

It's time to face facts -

0:00:230:00:26

facts which TUV has long proclaimed.

0:00:260:00:30

Sinn Fein is not in Stormont to make Northern Ireland work.

0:00:300:00:34

That is the fundamental reality which lies behind every crisis.

0:00:340:00:41

Thus, a system of government that insists that such a party must,

0:00:420:00:49

as of right, be at the heart of government,

0:00:490:00:52

is never going to succeed, no matter how many fresh starts

0:00:520:00:58

are falsely promised.

0:00:580:01:00

Let's look at the riddle of Stormont.

0:01:000:01:03

We've RHI, the latest Stormont scandal,

0:01:030:01:08

where your money is going up in smoke

0:01:080:01:11

because of crass incompetence,

0:01:110:01:15

for which no-one will take responsibility.

0:01:150:01:19

But it's not the only scandal - Red Sky, expenses claims

0:01:190:01:24

and, of course, Nama.

0:01:240:01:27

They have all brought Stormont into disrepute.

0:01:270:01:31

All of which points to misrule.

0:01:310:01:33

Good times for ministers but no good government for you.

0:01:330:01:38

Waiting lists out of control,

0:01:390:01:42

health collapsing,

0:01:420:01:43

schools desperate for cash.

0:01:430:01:45

And all Stormont can contribute

0:01:450:01:48

is another crisis.

0:01:480:01:51

All this shambles costs you,

0:01:510:01:55

because you pay for its squander,

0:01:550:01:58

running up to more than £2 billion of debt.

0:01:580:02:04

When it suits, the DUP and Sinn Fein cosy up together.

0:02:040:02:09

But then, when, as at election time,

0:02:100:02:14

they need to scaremonger against each other, they skirmish.

0:02:140:02:19

What a sham.

0:02:190:02:21

In truth, it's all about power,

0:02:210:02:24

whereas it should be about you...

0:02:240:02:26

..and delivering the good government

0:02:300:02:32

that you deserve.

0:02:320:02:34

This Stormont system will never work.

0:02:340:02:36

Devolution will only succeed through a coalition of the willing.

0:02:380:02:43

But if that is not possible, because we need government,

0:02:430:02:48

then let British ministers take over the Executive.

0:02:480:02:52

But this time, make them accountable to the Assembly.

0:02:520:02:56

Things don't have to stay

0:02:560:02:58

stuck as they are.

0:02:580:02:59

On the 2nd of March,

0:02:590:03:01

you will give your verdict.

0:03:010:03:02

Your one opportunity to force change.

0:03:060:03:11

Remember, you get what you vote for.

0:03:110:03:14

Vote for the same parties again and you'll get more of the same -

0:03:140:03:19

the very thing that isn't working.

0:03:190:03:22

We can't go on like this.

0:03:220:03:24

It's time to drain

0:03:250:03:26

the Stormont swamp.

0:03:260:03:28

It's time to vote TUV.
