The Northern Ireland Executive is not fit for purpose

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Our health service is at breaking point due to funding issues, meanwhile millions of pounds are wasted on inquiries and schemes such as the RHI scheme.

A voting system based on religious and sectarian beliefs. The end result is the wrong people holding office who are not fit for the job.
Religious and sectarian based voting. We will never move forward as long as we vote to 'keep the other party out'. We need to get out of the past and start thinking about our children's future. We lack forward thinking and it has to change.
