"There is a tendency in politics to focus on what isn't working. That is understandable. Most of us get involved in politics to improve things, which means first identifying the problems."
"Sometimes, it is worth pausing to recall what is working, even if imperfectly. Recent years have seen real improvements in east-west and north-south relationships, as well as those within Northern Ireland."
Politics often emphasizes issues that are not functioning well, which is a natural inclination for those seeking improvement. However, it is beneficial to also recognize the positive developments that have occurred, even if they are not perfect. Recent years have shown significant progress in relationships across east-west and north-south divides, as well as within Northern Ireland, highlighting the importance of acknowledging successes alongside challenges.
