Its members have reduced themselves to acolytes of Sinn Féin. What was once a party of principle has now lined up with populists and opportunists, lending its voice to this cynical circus and treating everything as a joke, as we have just heard.

They expect leadership and not tantrums. We choose responsibility over rhetoric.
