I never mentioned majority. What I said was "single-party unionist regime". Those were the old days, when you could push through whatever you wanted in a ramstam way.

We are opposed to sanctions on teachers; we are not opposed to inspections. It is quite simple. That might be hard for you to grasp, but it is really simple.
