After 100 days of talks and just two days before Christmas, Sinn Féin, the DUP, the Ulster Unionists and the SDLP reached an agreement at Stormont that saved devolved government in Belfast from collapse.

The reform of the welfare system in Northern Ireland was the major stumbling block of the marathon talks that at one stage directly involved the British and Irish governments.

But Sinn Féin appeared to do U-turn on Monday on backing welfare reforms, with McGuinness confirming his party will put down a “petition of concern” to block the welfare bill going through the Stormont assembly. Under the complex rules of devolution if two parties or more issue a “petition of concern” it can veto any proposed legislation as it would not have cross community support.

SDLPは「だったらどうして12月に賛成したの、うちの党があれじゃダメって言ってたでしょ」。

We tried to protect the vulnerable. Others, including Sinn Féin, rejected those attempts. We will continue the fight. pic.twitter.com/V65lflbwut

アライアンスは「性格が悪いの、卑怯なの、それともバカなの？」。

そして、DUPリーダーはむっつり。

I'll stand by every word & number of the Stormont House & Castle agreements. Its not a matter of opinion or debate, it's in black & white.

それより可笑しいのがこれ。可笑しすぎてみんな黙っちゃいますよね。。。

いや、本当にわけわかんないです。ギリシャのSyrizaのポピュリズムを意識してるのかもしれませんが。（セント・パトリックス・デイの外交日程直前なのに。）
