The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) is refusing to  propose a Speaker for  the  Northern Ireland Assembly, nominate a Deputy First Minister or particpate in government.

As a result, Northern Ireland is, once again, without a functioning government

The Democratic Unionist Party has an obligation and a responsibility to the electorate to immediately propose an Assembly Speaker, take their seats and nominate a Deputy First Minister. Nothing less is acceptable.

• Sign this petition in support of the demand that those MLAs who are frustrating the formation of the Executive should have their salaries withheld until they return to government.
