Unrealistic Timelines
Eighteen months is not enough time to thoroughly research the economic and social implications of unity, potentially leading to flawed plans.
Broader Participation
A citizens' assembly is too narrow; securing unity demands wider engagement from all communities, political parties, and the public.
Method Not Appropriate
Strict timelines and a citizens' assembly are not the best way to prepare for constitutional change, which needs flexible, ongoing engagement.
