Legislative election of Northern Ireland was held on last Thursday. It's for the local assemblly the "Stormont", how they call it, not for the UK Parliament.
The fate of 90 seats was decided.
Turnout 63%
Sinn Fein gained the most seats, 27 of them and become the party with the most representatives. They did not gain more than last time, but the main rival the Democratic Unionist Party lost seats, and the one called Alliance gained a lot.
I know next to nothing about these parties, ofc I have some ideas about the Sinn Fein, which had close cooperation with the IRA back in the day. But know who knows who they are, what they want. The Unionists ofc are pro-UK, and pro-Brexit, the Alliance seems to be pro-EU. And I assume Sinn Fein too, due to strong ties to the Republic of Ireland. But if they want to secede from the UK, and join to the rest of the island? Is this what they have for the long run?
