I see what you did there, deflected away from the post.
Any thoughts on the unionists vote being a greater proportion of the vote overall or the fact the nationalist vote was down on numbers?
You will notice that I apologised for suggesting that Sinn Fein only had the highest number of seats, as opposed to an overall majority.
However, the point still stands and Brexit along with our impotent government (in relation to all matters N .Ireland), will very likely lead to a Unification vote.
The issue here, just as it was when the Breixt deal was agreed, is that NOBODY offered a workable solution for N. Ireland.
The constraints of the GFA, in not allowing checks on the island of Ireland made and simple solution impossible but, once Bojo achieved his parliamentary majority and no longer needed the support of the DUP, he simply cast them aside and with it, promises that he had made to the people of N .Ireland.
Breaking promises has been a feature of his Premiership but, the mess is still there and the protocol, which was agreed and signed off by our Prime Minister is still not able to be fully applied and looks like it never will be. Instead, he would rather renege on the deal that HE signed and "hope that things work out".
The result of this is that the former political wing of the IRA are getting ever closer to running part on the UK.
They may not have an overall majority (yet) but, it's certainly closer than at any point in the last century.
