Congratulations to Sinn Fein. Now it's time for all people to step up. The Unionist minority in Ireland need to feel that a united Ireland is their home.
An Irish nationalist party that doesn't even recognize Northern Ireland's existence is in the position to nominate a first minister ... I had to go back and hear this several times. I remember writing a termpaper in university (about the historic roots of the NI conflict) that finished with the outlook that the Irish island could unite once the majority of Northern Ireland's population was in favor of that. (I'm from Germany and studied English.) It seemed a far off possibility then, though probably in my lifetime. Now I see steps leading toward that and it feels ... overwhelming. I've never actually been to NI! I want to be able to say I've been there before it stops existing! I want to see the murals and the crazy parades and talk to the people "on the street". I want to see how NI is more than what I hear on the news. Do I need to book a flight?! No, sorry, of course not. But it really seems so historic and fast and strange - though I am highly in favour of it! And I don't mean that I want the Unionists to feel like even more of a minority than they already do (which I suspect will happen once the island is united); rather I see this as a danger to be addressed. But the separation of the island was - in my opinion and of course I think that it's the truth - forced, unnatural and arbitrary, and thus the unification seems like the most natural thing to me. (Did I mention I am from East Germany and love that we are a united country now? 😉) In any case: Donna nobis pacem - and unity!
Sarah get real. So the destructive Englanders have more rights to continue to colonize other. countries and their pals like dumb Drumf support them blindly. Ireland should be one nation. So Sinn Fein is a Nationalist party and Parties like Le Penn are justified to exist, yeah. Stupid.

This is something which only the Irish people can solve among themselves and not others. It's called Democracy and Freedom for the Irish to decide their own fate and what Nation they want to be.

There's no doubt now that a majority of people in Northern Ireland support the Protocol (or at the very least, oppose the establishment of a customs border on the island of Ireland, which is the only real alternative to an Irish Sea customs border). As for the border poll question - I don't think Sinn Fein will see any reason to rush it. The demographic trends in Northern Ireland point in only one direction. The lower birth rates and higher emigration rates of Protestant/Loyalist communities have essentially baked them in for the next fifty years. The Unionist supermajority which NI was built on has now eroded completely. There's not even a bare plurality left. Speaking as an Australian - it's hard to see what practical benefits remaining part of the UK would provide Northern Ireland. Whatever those benefits are, I don't see them becoming more compelling in the next twenty years. If the Unionists were smart, they'd push for a quick border poll (which they would probably win if it were held in the next five years) - and then use that as a stick to delay the inevitable. However, nothing about Unionist politics in the last decade has been intelligent. I only hope that the transition, however long it takes, is as peaceful as it can be.
I mean the DUP cunning plan to use brexit to improve the unionist cause alone makes me dread their next cunning plan. Maybe they'll come up with something equally genius and hurry thing along so Sinn Féin can just sit back and wait.
@@jebgue3 A fair point that many people are making. However, I think they overlook the magnitude of the aid that would come from the EU. This aid was the only thing that enabled East Germany to join West Germany. Peace, prosperity and unity have always been the goals of the European Union.
@@jebgue3 I'm not an expert on valuing intergovernmental transfers in the UK. What I will say though is I don't think Northern Ireland would immediately transform into the economic equivalent of Bulgaria if it left the UK. That's what a 65% figure annual subsidy figure would imply and it doesn't sound realistic. As a matter of fact, it sounds so unrealistic that it strains credibility. But there is a broader point to be made here. If Northern Ireland has become such an enormous mendicant province, what the hell does that say about the quality of governance that they have been receiving from the UK over the past century? Not every regional wealth disparity is a policy failure - but one that large left to fester for so long can't be explained as anything but a staggering failure of national leadership. It would almost imply that the national government is deliberately neglecting that part of their country and leaving it to rot.
Preventing free trade exports from mainland GB into NI is too hardline and intransigent. Logically, the border should be on the island of Ireland. The EU has behaved with aggression and hostility,..to use the border by weaponisation is utterly despicable. Brexit = democracy.....GFA = terrorism.
Obviously this result is historic but Sinn Féin’s vote share hasn’t gone up much, but the DUP vote share went down; going to other unionist parties or Alliance.
Actually, unionist parties overall lost a lot more. Sinn fein gained 1.1%, while the sdlp lost around 1.4%. Meanwhile, except for the TUV , all unionist parties lost votes, and even if counting their wins and losses together, they still lost support overall, and quite a lot. The only clear winner is alliance, but on the long term, sinn fein will still profit the most from this.

But what we need to happen is Westminster & the Daul & all the Northern Ireland partys to sit down & draw up what a United Ireland would look like for all & what the UK would look like & do a Good Friday Agreement style document & make it public then set a boarder poll for 2 years later & let the people decide. The polls the goverment & media hold never give the full picture cause they never ask everyone that is registered to vote. It’s time to put the power into the hands of the people it’s time we the people dictate the future not the DUP.
The SNP controls Scotland, Sinn Fein controls Northern Ireland. The United Kingdom as we know it won't be around much longer. Only the tories could have brought this to fruition. What incompetence.
Can't blame the Tories entirely. I think much of the rest of the UK has become increasingly horrified by the bigotry and small-mindedness of the average Anglo-Saxon which will inevitably reduce England to a Ruritanian rump of a country. Irrelevant and impotent.
Isn't it possible that some nationalism ,is just darker than others? For e.g ,if a right winger watches the BBC, and see's loads of reports about far right groups ,I'm guessing he'll think that the BBC is left wing ,instead of considering the possibility that there just isn't as many far left groups ,or what they do isn't a newsworthy.
Because Celtic nationalism isn't rooted in white supremacy and eugenics. It's is born from the perspective of therighteous oppressed, not the bitter opressor...Germanic nationalism by comparison (3rd reich, anglo-Saxon, Frankish), is very much the opressor asserting the supremacy of their race over all others. It's all about the perspective.

Now I see steps leading toward that and it feels ... overwhelming. I've never actually been to NI! I want to be able to say I've been there before it stops existing! I want to see the murals and the crazy parades and talk to the people "on the street". I want to see how NI is more than what I hear on the news. Do I need to book a flight?! No, sorry, of course not. But it really seems so historic and fast and strange - though I am highly in favour of it! And I don't mean that I want the Unionists to feel like even more of a minority than they already do (which I suspect will happen once the island is united); rather I see this as a danger to be addressed. But the separation of the island was - in my opinion and of course I think that it's the truth - forced, unnatural and arbitrary, and thus the unification seems like the most natural thing to me. (Did I mention I am from East Germany and love that we are a united country now? 😉)
In any case: Donna nobis pacem - and unity!

Quote- "Sinn Fein, make haste- slowly".
Turkeys are finally complaining the oven's temperature is too mild ...
Due to mass immigration in to northern Ireland the demographic of the people is changing
There's no doubt now that a majority of people in Northern Ireland support the Protocol (or at the very least, oppose the establishment of a customs border on the island of Ireland, which is the only real alternative to an Irish Sea customs border).
As for the border poll question - I don't think Sinn Fein will see any reason to rush it.
The demographic trends in Northern Ireland point in only one direction. The lower birth rates and higher emigration rates of Protestant/Loyalist communities have essentially baked them in for the next fifty years. The Unionist supermajority which NI was built on has now eroded completely. There's not even a bare plurality left.
Speaking as an Australian - it's hard to see what practical benefits remaining part of the UK would provide Northern Ireland. Whatever those benefits are, I don't see them becoming more compelling in the next twenty years.
If the Unionists were smart, they'd push for a quick border poll (which they would probably win if it were held in the next five years) - and then use that as a stick to delay the inevitable. However, nothing about Unionist politics in the last decade has been intelligent.
I only hope that the transition, however long it takes, is as peaceful as it can be.
I mean the DUP cunning plan to use brexit to improve the unionist cause alone makes me dread their next cunning plan. Maybe they'll come up with something equally genius and hurry thing along so Sinn Féin can just sit back and wait.
Benefit of remaining in the UK ? About 65% of the GDP of the Province is subs from GB. Doubt Ireland would want to pick up the tab.
@@jebgue3 A fair point that many people are making. However, I think they overlook the magnitude of the aid that would come from the EU. This aid was the only thing that enabled East Germany to join West Germany.
Peace, prosperity and unity have always been the goals of the European Union.
@@jebgue3
I'm not an expert on valuing intergovernmental transfers in the UK. What I will say though is I don't think Northern Ireland would immediately transform into the economic equivalent of Bulgaria if it left the UK. That's what a 65% figure annual subsidy figure would imply and it doesn't sound realistic. As a matter of fact, it sounds so unrealistic that it strains credibility.
But there is a broader point to be made here. If Northern Ireland has become such an enormous mendicant province, what the hell does that say about the quality of governance that they have been receiving from the UK over the past century?
Not every regional wealth disparity is a policy failure - but one that large left to fester for so long can't be explained as anything but a staggering failure of national leadership. It would almost imply that the national government is deliberately neglecting that part of their country and leaving it to rot.
Preventing free trade exports from mainland GB into NI is too hardline and intransigent.
Logically, the border should be on the island of Ireland.
The EU has behaved with aggression and hostility,..to use the border by weaponisation
is utterly despicable. Brexit = democracy.....GFA = terrorism.
We should just give back Northern Ireland already.
Who's we ??

Obviously this result is historic but Sinn Féin’s vote share hasn’t gone up much, but the DUP vote share went down; going to other unionist parties or Alliance.
In time the vote share will keep going up. A lot more Prods are dying compared to Catholics
Actually, unionist parties overall lost a lot more. Sinn fein gained 1.1%, while the sdlp lost around 1.4%. Meanwhile, except for the TUV , all unionist parties lost votes, and even if counting their wins and losses together, they still lost support overall, and quite a lot. The only clear winner is alliance, but on the long term, sinn fein will still profit the most from this.
@@milantoth6246 Let the Unionists keep their heads in the sand. The Alliance vote is undermining the Unionist vote in all Unionist areas and maximizing the Nationalist vote in those areas and turning their votes into real power. Anyone with any brains can see Sinn Fein is delighted with that.

But what we need to happen is Westminster & the Daul & all the Northern Ireland partys to sit down & draw up what a United Ireland would look like for all & what the UK would look like & do a Good Friday Agreement style document & make it public then set a boarder poll for 2 years later & let the people decide.

Fascinating of how some nationalism is covered in a positive light whereas others are not - Ukraine / Irish/ SNP vs. Orban / Trump / Brexit 🤔
Isn't it possible that some nationalism ,is just darker than others?
For e.g ,if a right winger watches the BBC, and see's loads of reports about far right groups ,I'm guessing he'll think that the BBC is left wing ,instead of considering the possibility that there just isn't as many far left groups ,or what they do isn't a newsworthy.
The Fake Media is firmly on the left.
Because Celtic nationalism isn't rooted in white supremacy and eugenics. It's is born from the perspective of therighteous oppressed, not the bitter opressor...Germanic nationalism by comparison (3rd reich, anglo-Saxon, Frankish), is very much the opressor asserting the supremacy of their race over all others. It's all about the perspective.

@@davideosullivan3759 and which crimes against humanity did they inflict on innocent people? None? Oh. Sit down little boy
@@pooboi8600 should we start with Ian Paisley for example, though he is dead, he was involved in violence during the troubles and he was leader of the dup. The dup are just as guilty as sinn Fein when it came to the troubles.
Ireland > England
Best wishes to proud people of Ireland! 🇮🇪
DUP, TUV, UUP only had protocol as their policies. The PEOPLE and SINN FÉIN are concerned about bread and butter issues!
@Ainsley Govan Not according to many who voted for Sinn Féin.
@Ainsley Govan It seems to be both. The only people bleating on about unity in these recent elections were the DUP...
Basically a big crack has appeared in the dam.
There is time, but theres no fixing it. No rewind.
Think its great news give Northern Ireland back we save 30 billion a year 👏
What is happening to the UK? Sinn Fein wins in Northern Ireland and the SNP party in Scotland advocating independence for Scotland take the lead in elections. How did it come to this?
The future of Ireland should be decided by all the people on the island. The border in Ireland is a British border. It has been a disaster from the beginning.
We want peace and unity.
define 'peace and unity'?
So let's conveniently forget the vicious slaughter of innocent protestants.
I mean if they leave the uk we’d save a lot off money lol.
The Irish need to move toward unification.
Why? What real claim does the ROI have over NI?
@@maxdavis7722 Ireland exercises no claim over Northern Ireland.
However, partition is artificial and has never worked anywhere it has been tried. In Northern Ireland's case, it is a physical expression of social, cultural, sectarian and economic divisions within Northern Ireland. These divisions need to be removed in order for there to be unity within Northern Ireland. NI is contested territory because of its colonial experience. As these divisions wain, unity with the south will quite naturally come about leading to the creation of a new state.
@@taintabird23 why is it natural for NI to join the ROI?
@@maxdavis7722 The border was only ever meant to be temporary when it was brought in. It was intended that unionists and nationalists would work our their differences and unite, but the Unionists had no intention of doing so.
The border itself is not natural.
@@taintabird23 what kind of reason is that? It doesn’t matter if that was its original purpose and it certainly doesn’t mean that Ireland should naturally unite. Temporary border or not a more clearly defined border could be established or the border could be removed but there is no reason to think that Ireland should “naturally” unite.
