Rick Wilford, Professor of Politics at Queen s University, said changes to the Good Friday Agreement made at St Andrews would mean unionists could block policies they don t like. The DUP MP for Lagan Valley, Jeffrey Donaldson, said that Sinn Fein had not understood the implications of the St Andrews Agreement. Anything unionists of either party dislike will be referred back to the Assembly. Although there will have to be cross-community support, unionists are in the majority and will have the ultimate veto, he said.
