Madam, - In the light of Ian Paisley Jnr's resignation, one wonders: if the same criteria were applied to politicians south of the Border, would we have any chance of having sufficient numbers to form a cabinet?

Perhaps, the differing actions taken by politicians north of the border in response to the questioning of their integrity might explain just why it has taken many of them so long to engage in any form of trusting cross-border relationship. - Yours, etc,
