Visitors to Stormont will find the Great Hall unusually dark these days, as the chandelier bulbs are not all working. In fact, most of the bulbs are out on the first of five gilded chandeliers adorning the ceiling. One insider claimed they only get changed when the majority of the lights need changing. Perhaps this is due to the enormous effort involved. Still, it begs the question: "How many MLAs does it take to change a lightbulb at Stormont?"

None. MLAs only promise change.
65. One to change the bulb and the 64 DUP and Sinn Fein MLAs to stand on the stairs laughing with each other about it.
1. One to do the analysis
2. One to review the analysis
3. One to give the go ahead for the project
4. One to set up the test enviroment
5. One to write up the results of the test.
6. One to decide to go for full implementation.
7. .......
96. ......
97. One to screw in the bulb.
97. One to test the on/off switch.
Yep thats democracy - NI style.

Light bulbs. Hardly illuminating.
