DUP could not survive the Donaldson scandal and their pro-Brexit position, given the Tories post Brexit policies.

Gregory Campbell DUP held on to his seat by the slim margin of 180 votes in what was always a strong Unionist constituency , his winning speech was realistic and conciliatory, he knows time is not on the side of Unionists in Northern Ireland and for the union within the UK to survive unionists must appeal more to Catholics, apart from the border issue the DUP policies are not that out of step with traditional Catholic values and even though Sinn Fein are increasing their vote everywhere that has more to do with voting along tribal lines than a wish to see a united Ireland any time soon if ever, apart from SF party members no one in Derry that I know ever talks about it and I’d doubt if it’s in their top 50 concerns. Many Republicans say the Republic is not the same place that they would have fought to rejoin during the Troubles , the current government in Dublin is more beholding to the EU than it’s own citizens, the open borders has caused a huge change in demographics, there’s a severe lack of affordable housing, healthcare or even finding a doctor which also cost money for each appointment, as a former Republican activist like many of my old comrades I certainly wouldn’t be voting for a united Ireland, it’s really incumbent on every citizen of Northern Ireland to make this place a better place for our children and grandchildren and forget about the south , that train has already left the station. I’d gladly work with any unionist willing to make an honest effort to make Northern Ireland a more wonderful place to live .
I doubt it if his habits are that ingrained,he has had a varied career as a politician,government minister,entrepreneur and now radio presenter and sometimes tv presenter.I doubt if he is that aware he is filmed,he also has a chronic back condition which sets his posture.
Ya well, radio typically does not come with a camera. In fairness, he has spend a great sizable amount of his political career on camera, has presented and hosted many tv gigs over the years.

To add also reform got 4m votes and only got 4 seats and the LD got approx 3.5m votes and have 71 seats. Voting systems between 2 countries are not remotely the same.
Distortion , propaganda , essentially just tripe , in reality the Northern Ireland political situation has not changed in any meaningful way , the Unionists parties collectively , ( which includes Alliance) , still poll collectively approximately 60% of the vote . All Sinn Fien has done is syphoned votes from the SDLP their overall vote has changed very little . Most of the Alliance votes come from the unionists population . If you look at the who was elected to UK Parliament SF , SDLP, ALLIANCE remains the same, the Unionist party’s have the same number of seats , the only change is that instead of a DUP unionist it’s a more broadly unionist representation, cause by the DUP capitulation to Sunak , returning to Stormont , and Donaldson’s fall from Grace. What is being ignored is the collapse of the Irish nationalist birth rate in the North which now stands at 1.47 approximately, which is well below replacement. In short Irish nationalism in the North is in a stalemate situation with a reducing population. The only way they can have any sway over power is to contrive a coalition with Alliance which is constitutionally unionist. If you choose to delete this or ignore then it’s reality no me you have a problem with.
You mean a vegetable? Not quite, but anyone who asserts that men can get pregnant has some mental problem. Gerry Adams was a mole, who did more to destroy Republicanism than anyone since O'Connell.

Jim Allister? Are you joking? Paisley was bad enough but Allister? Are the people of North Antrim brain dead or what?
@@kevinbyrne5265 so say u
It's because Jim still went to work when all the others collapsed Stormont... Plus Jim makes immigration high on his policies, whereas the others are too scared to discuss it. Jim is more professional than the others
Unionists, same thing!
Well they are closely related.
“Are the people of North Antrim brain dead…”?
Yes.
Next question, please?
Tick Tock, tick tock, tick tock................😂

Gregory Campbell DUP held on to his seat by the slim margin of 180 votes in what was always a strong Unionist constituency , his winning speech was realistic and conciliatory, he knows time is not on the side of Unionists in Northern Ireland and for the union within the UK to survive unionists must appeal more to Catholics, apart from the border issue the DUP policies are not that out of step with traditional Catholic values and even though Sinn Fein are increasing their vote everywhere that has more to do with voting along tribal lines than a wish to see a united Ireland any time soon if ever, apart from SF party members no one in Derry that I know ever talks about it and I’d doubt if it’s in their top 50 concerns.
Many Republicans say the Republic is not the same place that they would have fought to rejoin during the Troubles , the current government in Dublin is more beholding to the EU than it’s own citizens, the open borders has caused a huge change in demographics, there’s a severe lack of affordable housing, healthcare or even finding a doctor which also cost money for each appointment, as a former Republican activist like many of my old comrades I certainly wouldn’t be voting for a united Ireland, it’s really incumbent on every citizen of Northern Ireland to make this place a better place for our children and grandchildren and forget about the south , that train has already left the station. I’d gladly work with any unionist willing to make an honest effort to make Northern Ireland a more wonderful place to live .
(Former republican)yeah right.
But are sein fein taking up their seats in westminster and if not why not?
Just a heads up LITERALLY
This presenter is so used to being a RADIO presenter, he has no idea how to look in to the camera
I doubt it if his habits are that ingrained,he has had a varied career as a politician,government minister,entrepreneur and now radio presenter and sometimes tv presenter.I doubt if he is that aware he is filmed,he also has a chronic back condition which sets his posture.
This would be because it IS a radio show.
He was tutored in looking away from the camera at Failed Politician and Bankruptcy School.
@@GaryRobinson-e9h smh
Ya well, radio typically does not come with a camera. In fairness, he has spend a great sizable amount of his political career on camera, has presented and hosted many tv gigs over the years.
😂😂 Amazing look what they just did told Zimbabwe that they will pay everyone 4200euro to move here, when they get here no tax, insurance or drivers licences needed, don't be fooled Ireland. They don't care either look at their eyes, faces plump from drink, drugs, food. Your paying for everything.

@@gerarddeegan1164 give Unionists a bit more rope and another 5-10 years, they've been the biggest driving force towards unity over the past 5 odd years.

Lets make Sinn Fein pay down here next year for what they presided over.
They haven't been in power down here?
The government is trying to spin it like it's sinn Feins fault, even that McConnell lad had me fooled for a while until I realized that he never spoke out about the government parties but only sinn Fein.
Presided over what?
Didn't realise Sinn Fein were in power in Ireland, that news skipped me.
Jesus, you're an awful eejit.
They won't get that support in the Republic!
Oh dear
@@albefuctivino1488 Yes. They're burning their bridges here. Perhaps 'burnt their bridges' is more accurate. They need to go back to their roots and back the will of the people. Not pander to the, globalist, establishment.
@@albefuctivino1488Scotland is irrelevant to this
Are you a plant?
They supported the double yes vote and lost, supported Varadkar and Martin, support the anti hate speech law and supported the EU in allowing in more illegal immigrants which we cannot house.
Sinn fein are exactly as they were, no extra seats. All bs
They didn't lose any either, and there are some seats they simply can't win because they are unionist strongholds.
They came within 179 votes of taking East Londonderry seat. The DUP are done. Unionism is fractured and a united Ireland is inevitable.
Sinn fein are still fabians.
It’s the women what done it,so they did….

They can call themselves Fianna Ulster Union or Fine D MC (Democratic Munster Party) in the south as is the norm for failed political wings in Ireland..Sinn Fein are the most oil dependant community in the North so obviously are the only leadership allowed...Oil captivity is far worse than internship and Sinn Fein have become a leading industrial revolution political wing when it originated in opposing the industrial revolution in Ireland for two hundred years... the otber political wings are almost oil free business snd therefore going concerns.
Are you OK??
Sinn Fein refuses to take up their seats at Westminster. Time to stop paying them.
😂😂😂😂😊😊😊 i love it great new.
Weren't too hot here south of the border, pity about this though, would love to see them fade from history, but I'm sure eventually the chickens will come hometo roost whenthese traitors will have no one to vote for them.
Didn't the dup have that attitude in the past about smashing sinn fein and also the brit government and irish government censored them in the hope they would fade away so I don't think they be going away no time soon
Still devastated over the demise of Eoghan Harris and wee Geoffrey Donaldson, are we? Toicfaidh ar La

Yes yes , rubbish
why is it ok to count votes in the UK over a couple of hours and Irl a couple of days-both have similar democracies
But very different: First past the post V PR. PR is more democratic.
To add also reform got 4m votes and only got 4 seats and the LD got approx 3.5m votes and have 71 seats. Voting systems between 2 countries are not remotely the same.

@@davekeating. 😂
Distortion , propaganda , essentially just tripe , in reality the Northern Ireland political situation has not changed in any meaningful way , the Unionists parties collectively , ( which includes Alliance) , still poll collectively approximately 60% of the vote . All Sinn Fien has done is syphoned votes from the SDLP their overall vote has changed very little . Most of the Alliance votes come from the unionists population . If you look at the who was elected to UK Parliament SF , SDLP, ALLIANCE remains the same, the Unionist party’s have the same number of seats , the only change is that instead of a DUP unionist it’s a more broadly unionist representation, cause by the DUP capitulation to Sunak , returning to Stormont , and Donaldson’s fall from Grace. What is being ignored is the collapse of the Irish nationalist birth rate in the North which now stands at 1.47 approximately, which is well below replacement. In short Irish nationalism in the North is in a stalemate situation with a reducing population. The only way they can have any sway over power is to contrive a coalition with Alliance which is constitutionally unionist. If you choose to delete this or ignore then it’s reality no me you have a problem with.

Why?
@@golaglanman860 There's a relationship with Great Britian and Northern Ireland militarily. We saw this in the second world war. If Ireland is reunited we need to adjust the military spend. Neutrality without adequate defense in the face of Russian aggression is not an option.
Ireland is already in the NATO Partnership for Peace Program - Ireland is NOT Neutral - we are however, Non-Aligned.
