When Assembly members in Northern Ireland are elected they have to declare whether they are a ‘unionist’, a ‘nationalist’, or ‘other’. People have different views about whether this is a good idea. Here are some things that have been said, how much do you agree or disagree with each of these statements?
Because MLAs have to declare whether they are unionist or nationalist it just keeps us stuck in the old sectarian camps.
