“If Northern Ireland's politicians fail to form a government in the next six months, a requirement for a new election will be triggered” Opinion | Hannahmc_carthy
When it was established a century ago, Northern Ireland was deliberately designed by the British government to give control to a Protestant Unionist majority. The Unionist community identified as British distrusted the idea of being ruled by the government of the newly independent Republic of Ireland.
Securing 27 out of the 90 Assembly seats represents a historic milestone for Sinn Féin, a party that began its life as the political wing of the Irish Republican Army . The paramilitary group fought with the British State and Loyalist Paramilitaries from the Unionist Community during the bloody guerrilla war in Northern Ireland known as “the Troubles.”
The new Nationalist majority will also put pressure on the sectarian power-sharing arrangement which was introduced byNorthern Ireland’s fragile power-sharing arrangement under pressureThe Good Friday Agreement introduced a power-sharing arrangement where parliamentary seats and ministries are allocated based on a party’s electoral share and where Unionists and Nationalists must form a coalition together i.e., neither community can rule by itself.
Having secured the biggest share of votes of any Unionist party, The Democratic Unionist Party is entitled to appoint the Deputy First Minister. as part of its campaign against the Northern Ireland protocol agreed between the EU and Britain after Brexit. Divisions among the Unionist community over Brexit and whether to support the Northern Ireland protocol are seen to have damaged support for Unionist parties in several electoral constituencies.
