It’s not over yet, but just maybe there is light at the end of the Darleen Tana drama tunnel. Please let it be. The Green Party has their own uniquely democratic and patient way of reaching a decision, but seven months and running to get this sorted is surely testing even their limits.

The co-leaders have now written to Speaker Gerry
