Newsnight speaks to Mary Lou McDonald, President of Sinn Féin, after the party receives the highest number of first-preference votes in the Irish general election.
Their success has sent shockwaves around the country. The left wing republican party's leader says she may well become Ireland's next Taoiseach
No party will win enough seats for an outright majority and seats are continuing to be allocated. Before the election the two other largest parties Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael ruled out forming a coalition with Sinn Féin.
Since the result, Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has not ruled out working with Sinn Féin, but said that "significant incompatibilities" still exist between the parties.
Mrs McDonald told Newsnight the next government should prepare for a border poll on Irish unity immediately, and said she would ask the EU to take a stance in support of Irish unification.

Those "crumbs" you so eloquently refer to are transferable votes, and they are the reason why we have proportional representation in our democracy and the UK does not.
If you make the vote happen in 4 years then Star Trek will have predicted the year of reunification
Though Sin Féin want irish unity it's not the reason they got elected by most people. They got elected because they're left wing and want to solve the health and housing crises Fine Gael and Fine Fáil aren't doing enough on
james quaine why not both?
Because the north is a basket case
@@SunflowerSocialist I'm sure it's the reason for some but it was certainly a protest vote for many, sure look how they did half a year ago in the local elections its not a sway for irish unity in any sense
Ya they have more left wing values but from talking amongst my generation, unity is the biggest part. You dont vote green party for their Irish unity stance and you dont vote sinn Fein for their environmentalism
With more immigration?
Wow. A good report from the BBC on the election without suggesting it was a reaction to Brexit (which it wasnt). Nice.
I believe only 1% of voters cited brexit.
@Gggg sinn fein's nationalism is that of a colonised nation which is Very different from right wing nationalism. confusing but both nationalism i suppose
Social Gadfly nazism (like all fascist sub-ideologies, unionism included) is uniquely and distinctly right wing in character. the reason the nazis called themselves national socialists is because the leaders realized they would be crushed by a unified spd. at first they phrased their platform in the framing of how it affects the workers, meanwhile they’re making german factory and government workers that don’t fall in line with their racially hemegonistic hyper-nationalistic plot to take over eastern europe disappear and pushing for the same austerity and cuts fg and ff have utterly devastated the unoccupied counties with.
nationalism is and will always be a right wing position while republicanism and anti-nationalism will always be left wing positions.
@james mcbride
I didn't understand the black and tans until I watch black 47 Irish Holocaust where the RIB and the British government systematic killed the Irish.
Leo V lose the election when he asked for them to b honour that is why people voted for sinn fein
It's not partly a reaction to Brexit, partially because Ireland is pro EU and England is Anti-Eu?
United Ireland and Independent Scotland!
Not going happen
Independent Wales
True Lunatic Don’t speak so soon
And independent isle of man
@our rights first English loyalists have nothing to do with the votes of either Northern Ireland joining with Ireland or Scotland becoming its own Nation. And it doesn't matter if the majority vote Yes to separate from England it will happen. Otherwise I'll look like terrorists and murderers.
It's not a united Ireland it's a reunited Ireland. Time to give it back.
And to make it happen you'll need to increase the size of your army from 7,300 to 30,000+, you'll need to increase military spending from 1.3% to 8%.
Because you'll need to have some means of pacifying the Unionists, keeping almost a million people from rebelling requires an army.
So good luck with becoming Israel 2.0
And so all Mary Lou's plans for housing, schools, hospitals will never come to pass because all the money will be used on guns.
@@jbagger331 Israel 2! An apartheid state, don't think so bud- where do you dredge that cobblers up from? Your scenario and 'figures' are just Mystic Meg standard guesswork- laughable . The north voted to stay in the EU and the vast majority of people from the unionist community want both prosperity and peace and, bottom line, who gives a shit what negative, anonymous naysayers like yourself argue, I certainly don't. Even if there are some problems with a small group of people that gain will be worth that pain. Plus, they will always have the 'opportunity' of moving across to the Doris led post Brexit English paradise and, in doing so, help raise the collective iq in both islands.

The Irish troops will have the same problem as the British troops and Ireland has fewer people and less money.

You can thank Mary Lou then for all her hard work.
They overlooked the Independents, who have 19 seats, several of whom are ex FF or FG and who would be willing to vote for an establishment coalition if they could get some pork for their constituencies.
Brendan Gavaghan LOL, probably should have said “pork barrel” or “parish pump” returns.
A united Ireland on the table? Would not surprise me.
Wasn't that always the end goal anyway? The future of the entire island of Ireland must be decided by the people and respected by the establishment. No matter what the rest of us think.
Mark Gable no they wouldnt. know your facts before you start typing next time.
Under the Good Friday agreement if the secretary of state believes there is a likelihood of success, a border poll must be granted.

The English and the Welsh voted to leave the EU but it doesn’t mean Scotland and Northern Ireland need to leave too. They should get together to force Westminster to grant a new, Post Brexit, referendum.
It's more complicated than that though. By leaving two countries in the EU people could come through Scotland and travel into the rest of Britain. But still either way they can still travel through The rep of Ireland and into it since there isn't a border

Sinn Fein surge nothing to do with irish unity its the people fed up with the high rent, homelessness and the cost of living that the other parties are doing nothing about.
Have the Irish ever connected the dots related to the tech industry and its' effect on housing and the cost of living in their hubs around the world. Look at the effect they have had on San Francisco and silicon valley in California, Austin, Texas, Salt Lake City, Utah of the US, and Vancouver Canada to name a few. Seems wherever big tech goes, costs skyrocket.

Lol @ people being afraid of immigrants. If you still want your parents to get a shower in the elderly homes you better try and get every migrant you can. Right now migration to the EU is way too low to help shortage on workers in pretty much any business
Let's say Sinn Fein get what they want, what would be needed to pacify the 900,000+ people in Northern Ireland who would be violently opposed to being a part of the Republic, you would need about 10,000 combat troops and 20,000 troops for logistics and support.
Casualties per year would be about 50-100 each year, year after year, the required increase in military spending for the Republic would bankrupt it, an increase at about at 8% of GDP in military spending will do that.
This means Mary Lou McDonald would spend all the money on guns instead of building housing, infrastructure, hospitals, schools etc...

Ireland is too small of a country to have 2 governments, 2 health care systems, 2 economic zones, with 1 in Europe and 1 not. Unity is only a matter of time. New Ireland is coming. New flag, new anthem, new politics, new identity.
They don't have two governments or health care systems.. the island of Ireland is host to two jurisdictions sovereign and independent from one another. The republic pay nothing toward the maintenance of Northern Ireland and it's public services or governance. The republic have difficulty sustaining itself and has nearly bankrupted itself on a few occasions - that is only serving the "26". Absorbing another "6" with the expense and costs associated would destabilise and destroy the republic and Northern Ireland of course would descend into chaos and violence.
The only thing is if they did become United I don't think the flag would change. Because it represents the Irish people too well. The green represents the Catholics, the orange represents the Protestants, and the white is meant to be the unity or peace between the two. So I don't think it would change. The same thing with the Irish Anthem I don't think it would ever change either. But if they did change the words it would most likely still be an Irish because that is the language of their people.
Germany could unite against all odds in our lifetime and so can Ireland.
The gap between East Germany and West Germany, economically, and socially was greater than between NIR and Republic of Ireland. If, they can solve some of the the ideological differences based on religion than it can work out for both. Surely, Brexit helps in these case, but lots of work needs to be done. There is a good chance that the political geography of the British Isles will be different in 5-10 years. Hope it will happen peacefully.
@steve gale I am not an expert in the topic, however I am aware that the situation is rather difficult. Just only hoping that both parties will move forward without any mess. Seems that NIR may have at least 2 options to solve these issue..Again not suggesting but maybe having their decision on their own hand by following the possible Scottish example. Surely can rule on their own without violating any of these groups rights. Again wish you the best and hope really hope you can move forward.
Germany wasn't split by itself and didn't get terrorised by the west part to become united.

Surely you don’t mean The Troubles that ended almost half a century ago? Because that doesn’t pertain to the political landscape of Ireland today. Everything has changed since then.
I’m Irish, but going for a United Ireland is just totally unachieveable. Just not possible. And it’s sick to see Sinn Fein being our possible government. They are still in league with the IRA

The Americans started a war that killed a million Iraqi's. Then there's the Vietnam war. Britain still supports America and they sell arms to Saudi Arabia who are killing folk in the Yemen TODAY.
I only spoke on SinnFein. It was YOU who mentioned the IRA in a lazy attempt to build a strawman. You won't get me to defend OR condemn them. Its a bad faith rhetorical device usually used by right-wing, fashy types.
.. THAT said, the IRA have killed fewer ppl than the American's and British. They are not creating chemical warfare, uranium tipped ordinance or biological weapons. The IRA never supported slavery of blk and brown folk. I could go on.

@steve gale Cute ad hominem proving you have nothing to add ... Its clear you ARE still interested hence your numerous replies. YOU just have NOTHING substantial to add to back up your original lie.
Utterly wrong headed analysis. People voted Sinn Féin because they wanted to vote for a left wing party. The only options apart from SF were The Labour Party, which destroyed its credibility in coalition with right wing Fine Gael, People before Profit, which did well but are too small, and the Greens, who have an ineffective leadership. Fianna Fail have a core vote but memories are still strong of the 2009 crash and all the corruption tribunals. Sinn Féin were also on point on the key things the electorate wanted, they promised the earth on spending. They also promised to reverse the pension changes which left workers facing retirement at 65 while waiting for the state pension at 67. Brexit didn't get a look in. A border poll was barely mentioned. Sinn Fein stumbled a bit in relation to the past but generally managed to deflect attention. It may have helped that Stormont assembly has been reestablished.

I'm a republican and support a united Ireland 100%, and I don't support Sinn Féin. The two aren't the same.

It's not just people in Britain who are horrified at the political wing of the IRA in power there are still a majority of us here in Ireland who don't want SF anywhere near government. As an Irish citizen with both British and Gaelic Irish ancestry I'm distraught to see a party that fostered hate, division and violence getting anywhere near power. The sight of one of their senior TDs chanting 'Up the IRA' upon being elected was utterly stomach churning.

Sin Féin have a young and liberal voting base despite not having any green energy policy, and being Eurosceptics, two things that are VERY unpopular in Ireland. How people reconcile these factors, I have no idea. The mental gymnastics involved is baffling
Sinn Fein got their votes mainly on the homelessness and healthcare problems. Reunification will make the financial squeeze even tighter!!
The EU has stated that it would financially assist Ireland in the event of reunification, in much the same way German reunification occurred. The Irish economy is damaged by partition; it does not benefit the economy to have duplicated service on a small island. This will become transparent over the next few years as a result of an economic border down the Irish sea and subsequent economic Irish unity.

I don’t understand McDonalds comparison between Ireland, Cyprus and Germany. In Germany it was a case where both sides were of the same people and they wanted to reunify after having being split. Cyprus was invaded by turkey when it was a sovereign nation. Turkey illegally annexed land from Cyprus. Northern Ireland was never apart of Ireland and for much of its history the majority wished to remain part of the UK (as they still do now). So to claim other European countries should recognise Northern Ireland as apart of Ireland or to claim that it should be is ridiculous. Just because it’s an island doesn’t mean one nation has a right over the entire island. But hey that’s Sinn Féin for you
lol - Northern Ireland was never part of Ireland, the whole of Ireland was invaded and occupied by an invading force (illegal occupation?), when the Irish people fought and won independence, English and Scottish settlers/decendants who had annexed 6 of the 32 counties of Ireland demanded to remain a part of the UK and got their wish, but Ireland will be re-united one day soon,

The Good Friday Agreement came about due to the activities on the IRA and other sectarian terrorist groups. It showed that terrorism can drive policy. Therefore, to assume that all communities will honour that agreement, and not use violence and terrorism to change it is a big mistake. Could the Republic of Ireland afford the cost of policing terrorism on the scale of the 70s and 80s? How would they deal with loyalist bomb attacks in Dublin?
Loyalists haven't the brains, technology, the money or support to meet the fire power of the PIRA/INLA of the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Proselytizing Orthodox Pentecostal Trans Rabbit the loyalist terrorists wouldn’t have the backing of the British army as they had in the past. There’d be isolated incidents maybe, but they’d be rare and would fizzle out eventually when it becomes clear to them that them no matter what violence they use, they’ll never be part of the UK again.

As for technology & firepower you are joking, if zealots want to cause high casualties they can do it with basic technology and resources, its also a pointless argument, so i'll end here.
The IRA had the support of the Americans with Irish background. Most real Brits don't give a shit about the Unionists in Northern Ireland. How long do you think a campaign from the Unionists will last without military support?
You don't need military support to wage a terror campaign. You just need criminal funding. And if the Brits couldn't police no go areas, the Irish republic has no chance - The UK had upwards of 20,000 troops stationed in NI. That's nearly 3 times the size of Ireland's regular armed forces.

And over the years of living in Tallaght . 20 years . I was a victim of a fraud when l bought my home ,
My own Brother with a Solicitor and a builder sold me a bunglow that they did not own . I fought for many years to get my correct deeds .
Over the years l learn they londered millions for the IRA . I was denoy the right to Justice by the policy parties .
I been told the deeds to my property will never be returned because it would bring to light the fact that over the pass 20 years . That the lrish Government was supporting Sinn fein in the killing of Catholics.and prosiden in the North .
One of my neighbours x British Welsh soldier bosted about going into Catholics areas one week and president areas next week . And interfering with the kids and parents . Claiming to be from opposite side . It lead to a heatred that still in bread today .
Because he told me and he was involved on speak able acts over the years . He target me .
He set the Council on me .
He claims over the years . That he gave the names of British soldiers and address , in North and England ,he under a protection order .
It lead to quite a number of solders and citizen on both sides been shot .
He was also targeting Catholics and Prosidents .
I have try over the years to get Justice .I was a victim of land fraud .and the Government was to investigate. But giving my brother was londering over 3 million for IRA .
The lrish Government wont allow my case to be investigated . A gagging order is on it .
I been living in limbo for over 19 years and have try to make the best of a bad situation .
I took pride in living in Tallaght . And help as many people as l could over the years . I try to commute suicide in my bunglow . I reach such a low trying to have some one look at my case and the Document ..
The law Society black hall place refuse to allow a case against Peter McKenna to be heard . As he was a personal friend to the head of the law Society and the Fact he was involved in londering money for the IRA . Ment l was stoned wall .
I have struggled again and again to have my story and the Documents in front of a judge but the Law Society
Of lreland keep bury my case . For the IRA .
The Real IRA offered my gun and armored to shot them three .
Peter MCKenna Solicitor, Norbert Murphy, Builder and Philip Butler .bank manager .
The three where silence partners in Bank fraud over the years . But because they londered money for IRA it been covered up .
I refused the Gun and the bullets .
I believed at the time . In Justice system .
I even ask for help from Sinn fein and they covered it up .
Today l came close to suicide again .
I afraid to go into my bunglow . I at one stage hung a blue rope from the rafters to hang myself .
A neighbour knock at the door .
But l had no control over what l was about to do . I could see her but was unable to tell her l needed help .
I try to get her to leave but she did not . I woke up next day .at 6am on a couch and cry till 8pm that night .
The full events of what got me to this stage would frighten you .
I then started helping people to take my mind of the bunglow and the 71 feet of back garden l loss to fraud and the IRA . The Real IRA try to help me because of my ability.
I can see how to improve technology
It started after a motor bike accident in 1998 . I have visions of my own life . Before l reached that age .
Covid 19 is not as bad as what coming. The real IRA want an anti EMP Bome . It can counter act the affects of Russian EMP .Boom.
Sciences are trying to solved the problem . They dont understand it a sound wave beyond humon hearing and at a frequence of reverse pulses . That can neutral EMP affects with in a few minutes . Not Days weeks or months .
NASSA Space Science , to send a craft of a plane . Will take us into the future . But they need to learn to rotate around planet first and rise at a angle of 3 degrees passing into space . It allow greater number of flights . Temperate of 200 degrees on hall , and in time a normal plain can pass with very little need for change .
Soon the ability of moving bags by a tel porter to your hotel will be a common thing in next 3 years .
Prisons will be built in the Oceans in next 15 years due to the solor planets heating up . Affecting Earth every 12 to 15 thousand years .
The Antarctic will completely melt by 2028 .
Over next 100 years will start to reverse back to a frozen state .
Planning across the planet will become part of a new world plan .
Steps in late century will bring about an idea of moving another planet in to orbit with the moon . It will safe guard the planet and deincrease the pull of the outer planets gravity affect on earth ocean water . Causing it to return back toward the center of the planet . The spead of the planet will slow down to by 10 seconds .
Soon time travel will be available to the public . But a code of not be allowed to walk on the land will be applied. People can view from crafts . A chip will be planted in hand or chest or forehead . That can be tracked .
Soon before 2022 electrical vehicles across the planet will develop a virus that will attack the electrical structure . But it will be stop .
Allowing my mind to open .
I can take myself out of the moment l face here now .
It some times scare me to think l can
Use less materials and make a fusion boom that can end life on this planet . Or am aware of a weapon in Russia linked to central earth magnet core . Was built to protect astro hitting Russia .
And the links to mount sidnide .
I refused to used my ability to help IRA . Or real IRA .
The idea of ending all life in the Northern Ireland . Is part of Celtic teachings . When a solution can not be found . To peace . But their all accountable for their actions even the ones that have committed crimes against children .
People of Northern Ireland will not trust the lrish Government . Till the injustice of what l been put true is reverse . And my case is heard across lreland . Because of what it stands for . The loss of power by the IRA to cover up a.fraud by them .
Mary Lou, can ask about the property sold in 1998 folio 50375F
David Butler . For 52 thousand pound . But forged documents show 37 thousand pounds .
TD Pat Rabbitt was suppost to put to the Dail . I found out l was suppose to put 3000e in a envelop for him to ask for my case to be heard . I was ask by a labour member what did l think he do if l did not pay .
I was in shock and when pat rabbitt came looking for votes ..l confronted him about looking for a bribe .he ran across the field when l said l go to the media . He then drop taken the position of head . Because he knew l go to the media about it been covered up .
Ireland zindabad!
S. Ireland has no say over what N. Ireland does. All they will create is a resurgence of their anti democratic aggression. N. Ireland has repeatedly voted to remain part of the UK. They have no intention of respecting democracy.
It's not called southern Ireland and it never will be
*Chuckles*
I don’t actually think Sinn Féin being elected means Irish people have become nationalists or anti-British. People in the middle are fed up. Everyone at the bottom has been getting benefits for years and everyone at the top can afford everything. People want change, and the old idea of being a Fine Gael or Fianna Fáil voting family is gone.
Known as the squeezed middle. 30% of people did not vote in GE2020. By default of the busy classes SF won the vote race but did not place enough candidates to translate the votes into seats. They won't make that mistake again. The striving classes need to mobilise, form a party or get their voices heard in an existing one and form a counter to the dysfunctional system we have now. My constituency is now 3 left and 1 centre, the most leftwing in the country. It doesn't feel that way but I'd say that a lot of working people here did not bother to vote.
FF is the biggest party. SF won the first preference vote, but that is not how this game works. Democratic structures in Ireland ensures that all the wishes are considered. If SF had added more candidates they could have split their own vote and not won so many first preferences. So this is not exactly what it seems.
That said, SF have done extremely well. Politics has changed. Is it forever? I don't think so. I think that FG/FF in government together was bad for both their parties. They won't make that mistake again.
Why is there no right wing party in Ireland?
Typical politicians going back on their word, too much talk and no action
It's a negotiating position.
In all fairness it’s not easy to follow through on things you campaign for
I'm Catholic and support a united Ireland but it's not financially realistic here in the UK I have free NHS etc,The ROI economy is way smaller and couldn't afford lots of extra people and the change of services etc without borrowing billions..
On a per capita basis, the Irish economy is almost twice as large as the British. While the NHS is an amazing institution, its future isn't set in stone; reduced immigration and funding will prove problematic. The HSE in Ireland isn't perfect but will probably be on par with the NHS in years to come.
bought and paid for...sad really
The question of a reunited Ireland is something that most people here in N.Ireland are sick hearing. Most would say get a vote ASAP to put it bed once and for all no matter what way one sways!
@EIRE LAND I know, I live here...born and bred. ROI dont want another 6 counties to maintain and subsidise.....It will never happen, every 7 years or not.
@@jaimehudson760 People Said The Exact Same Thing In West Germany About East Germany That It Would Be A Bad Thing, Few Years Later Things Turned Out Ok.
@@CatholicWeeb I never said it would be a bad thing though. The geographical impact, the demographics of the situation are totally different. The whole entire situation is different here actually in Ireland. Its like comparing a Lada with a Ferrari, or cucumbers with watermelons.......
@EIRE LAND Really don't find it funny. A religious bigot sitting laughing with a mass murderer....Nothing really funny there at all. But whatever floats your boat like.
@EIRE LAND took 30 secs typing Ireland boarder poll 7 years to find out that's just wrong.
It's TDs not MPs... How would you like us calling your MPs TDs
Say what you will, but centre left Sinn Fein deserves to form the next Irish government, this stale centre-right political dicotomy needed to be broken and / dominance ended long time ago. You may not like its IRA past - links ( NOT a fan of it either !!!), but its the Irish voters democratic mandate for Re-unification of Ireland that counts, not what Westminster wants to preserve in terms of neo-colonial rule over Northern Ireland / imposition of Brexit on Northern Ireland.
Coolcat Dozzit You talk of being against Neo colonialism and against Brexit. Please make up your mind. The EU is a non democratic federalist bureaucracy.
@@freespeechisneverwrong9351 You are missing the point, and I will need to correct you on this. its about respecting the Irish people wishes on self determination,re-unification and EU. The EU is a buraucratic behemoth, yes..... but its up to Ireland not you to decide if they want IN or in just like UK did on Brexit OUT of EU. That is why the Irish have a plethora of democratic referrendums on matters of EU ....That has ZERO do with neocolonialism, so respecting their choice is not a bad idea.
Coolcat Dozzit you’re missing the point, you are opting to stay in a non democratic organisation because you believe in democracy.????????
“A non democratic federalist bureaucracy” in which the legislative organs are the elected European Parliament and the indirectly elected Council of Ministers 🙄
TheLastAngryMan01 all laws and regulations from the EU are proposed by non-elected officials. Do you remember voting for the Donald Tusk etc.? You won’t because you didn’t. They were appointed. Do yourself a favour and search for Tony Benn (now deceased but lifelong Socialist) arguing against the EU because of the lack of democracy etc.
SF's success has nothing to done with Brexit or border polls. The two demographics that gave them 1st preference votes en masse were 18-24 and 25-34
These voters either barely remember the good Friday agreement or weren't even born at the time. Anti British nationalism is not their thing.
This was purely a protest vote against establishment parties who are letting down those demographics directly with their poor record on housing policy.

Not all Irish nationalists in the North of Ireland would vote for a united Ireland. It’s very dangerous talk form SF, I know it would be a process but nevertheless a lot of people are gonna do what ever it takes to stop it happening.
Absolute nonsense. Not only do all nationalist voters in the north want unification, but so do a significant proportion of non-aligned, as well as an increasing (albeit understandably quiet) group of open-minded middle class voters from a traditional unionist background! The gerrymandered statelet is a sectarian relic of a bygone era.. it serves no purpose whatsoever other than to divide the Irish people and fuel violence and bigotry. It's a failed experiment and it's days are numbered.

Be pragmatic: If you see a Land Cruiser with Irish plates in the UK, call the police immediately
Let’s unionise Ireland and call it the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Like it should be.
*like it never should have been
As person from the border regions of NI and who would consider himself having a centre stance on politics...I can’t wait for a border pole because it will be rejected by a considerable margin, therefore putting this stupid argument to bed once and for all. This wasn’t even a minimal reason why they were so successful in the election anyway.
Mad Irishman apologies sir...did you mean willie o dea or willie frazer with that one?...with this Sinn Fein type of whataboutary going on both sides of the border now it’s hard to keep up
I'm also from Northern Ireland & after watching the ROI politics for the past few years, I can't understand why they want to be part of the ROI never mind us joining them, we are a far better country than the Republic to live in, even though we get called a failed state by SF/IRA supporters, if Northern Ireland is a failed state then the Republic is in a state all together!! its laughable lol and I actually like the Irish my grandmother was from near Dublin
It's A Jungle Out There well there are some advantages to each side...the republic has a much better social scene, it’s much better to go out in and has more options for trips away. There are also more options for employment in the south with higher wages but the rent and other utilities pretty much cancel that out, but the opportunities to gain further experience in a wider field are there...the north, for all its faults, like less employment opportunities, but is a much better run country, mainly because of the UK structures in place. Systems are in place to stop things getting out of hand but also so that they are properly enforced. A good example I always use is the rates system in the north, yes they may be high but it’s a simple and effective way to fund a lot of vital utilities for everyone, one payment you get your water, sewage and bins done for the year, no muss no fuss, simple,easy and effective. Now look at the south, it’s a free for all rat race of fly tipping in terms of bins with some people refusing to pay. The water system? Even the people down south don’t know who pays and who doesn’t, ‘some people pay, some people get away without paying’....k?...and you privately pay for your sewage system to get emptied or checked, which we all know will motivate people to do it on a regular basis lol...these are just a few examples...if there were a vote in the morning it wouldn’t achieve unity...why?three reasons, car tax, car insurance/insurance in general and that sweet delicious NHS...I don’t care if you eat tri colours for breakfast you ain’t voting to lose them things...people vote with their wallets, not with their flag!

@@pauls3660 We are a successful developed country that's one of the strongest economies in the world. Your lot didn't have a government for 3 years. You are a failed experiment brought up by that Carson prick. What the fuck are you smoking?
Only 22% of people voted for Sinn Fein. Let's not give them too much credence.
Only 22% of people voted FG/FF...
What's your point? Seems like you're trying to be clever but the logic just isn't there to follow?
The election result in the Irish Republic makes no change whatsoever of the prospect of a united Ireland.
Thought SF were going to build 100,000 houses and sort out healthcare but looks like a united Ireland is the priority.
Change is coming mate. Get over it
@@Theredrain6 yes I know its inevitable, but the housing and healthcare needs sorting out first, that's why people voted SF this time!
@@vinyl12blagger They'll prioritise housing, don't worry
@@vinyl12blagger Let Reunification Happen, After all reunification would be one of Ireland's biggest historical moments.
SF building 100k houses, sorting healthcare and overseeing the unification of Ireland is an absolute joke. They are way out of their depth and have zero experience at government. They are also going to get zero favours from the U.K. government. Interesting to see if the EU will back a SF government just to spite the U.K. hope you made the right decision Ireland.
UNITED IRELAND
Irish Unity 2026 🇮🇪
@Kenneth Shields It's 2024 look it up on star trek
good report --
God bless Ireland.
Geoff Conn it’s an expression numbnuts. I don’t believe in God.
There is no god so every party is a godless party lol.
Geoff Conn they wanted unify Ireland dummy. How is that anti-Ireland? Ireland has ALWAYS been a country of progressives, not traditionalists.
Funny how things have unintended consequences, brexit for one!
When Johnson reneged over the Irish border issue and cast the unionist adrift, suddenly the Irish political dynamics changed. Mary Lou McDonald who is a Savvy political operator has become a major power broker in Irish politics.
After 30 years of the Northern Ireland troubles the English through Brexit may have pushed the Irish to reunite as one ☝️. How will the conservative and unionist party come to terms with that? Brexit was not about the Europe or the UK, it was about the Conservative party survival. The conservatives never gave the island of Ireland a second thought!
The brits always think the world revolves around them. This election result is due to people’s dissatisfaction with how the FG government has dealt with issues in regards to healthcare and housing and nothing to do with Brexit. Many feel Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are two sides of the same coin so they voted Sinn Féin as either a protest vote or because they liked Sinn Féin’s ambitious healthcare and housing plans. In a survey voters were asked what was important to them in choosing a candidate and fewer than 1% said Brexit.
As an Englishman who voted Conservative, I'd love to have nothing to do with Northern Ireland.
You won't meet many over here that would be upset about Irish unity.
@@RaTeeBoom that's the funny thing. Some of the unionists in the north probably consider themselves more British than the actual British or have more pride in it. Having a united Ireland will never be pretty as a result. That's where ppls apprehension comes from in the south. Tensions/the cost of taking on the north
People in England never give the island of Ireland a second thought - why should we, we don’t give a shit about any of you. Good luck inheriting all those Protestant nutters in NI as well as the expensive annual cost for their upkeep. Ireland is much more obsessed with us than we with you - it’s somewhat like Scotland - who cares if they fuck off too - another drain on England’s resources,
stephen jones Oh, a lot of the Unionists will leave and return to their ancestral homes in England and Scotland, as Arlene Foster’s comments can attest. They are U.K. citizens so you won’t be able to prevent them relocating. Enjoy the company of your ethnic brethren!
I guess Welsh coal and Scottish has are English resources too? As well as Trident, stored in Scotland?
As for the fucking off thing, can we have that in writing? It’s just that, you know, perfidious Albion ain’t known for sticking to its commitments abroad.
I come from an Irish background of parents from both sides of the divide, sadly now passed, both my parents would congratulate the republicans for winning via the ballot box and not by the gun.
Good luck to the Irish peoples, I think you have a very bright future and hope one day you will also retract from the EU and become a really free nation.
Thanks for the well wishes, but absolutely not, we're not leaving the European Union to prove your English Brexit antics. Your parents would be more repulsed by the last 3 years of English politics where the ERG (read Cummings) tried to bully Ireland, by threatening to cac out NO DEAL in rejection of the backstop. When Pritti Patel summed that we in Ireland should be starved of food imports to think again ...
Your Brexit does not affect us anymore, not when we had the overwhelming, unnanamous support and solidarity from our 26 other member states and European commission.

It's actually more Scottish occupation. The Unionists up north were Scottish settlers.
if it's freed from British occupation..... what about all those in Northern Ireland financially dependant on Britain for unemployment benefits..... how's the republic of Ireland gonna manage that?
@@schreineinAV Well taxes from the North should help with revenue streams.
Paulie Walnuts
That's your answer..... taxes from the north? So you're gonna tax the working people to provide for those unwilling to work...... ummm, based on that logic, I don't think there'll be a united Ireland too soon.... unemployed people in NI like their social housing, DLA cars and cash courtesy of the British government too much! 😂😂 after all the money the British government had put in to infrastructure, housing etc.... you think they're simply gonna hand it over to Ireland & the EU? Also, the dissident republicans up here in the north want Ireland to be its own sovereign nation free from Britain and the EU.....
The uk is a settler colonial state and they must be removed from the lands they occupy
I don’t see why people of Northern Ireland would vote yes for a united Ireland. They have the best of both worlds the way it is now.
If Northern Ireland decide to leave the UK there will be no British Army going in if it kicks off. That will have to be funded by Dublin and the EU.
Our Army protects the republic nevermind the North.
I wish they'd get invaded, they'd soon come running asking for help
@@DisconnectedRoamer If Ireland was invaded it'd have major support from the US, never mind the UK, and not to mention the UN. Shannon airport is a major staging point for the US troops who head East.
besides, Ireland isn't a valuable country to hold, It's got no resources valuable enough to provoke the risk of US, UN and UK intervention, It's a Neutral country that hasn't enacted any wars in the modern era. Invading Ireland would be a catastrophic move for any military.

As an Irishman in the south the one thing I want to see is peace more than anything. If the north was to leave the UK and in the interest of peace and all sides are rightfully recognised then i think the choice the People in the north should vote on is
1. To leave the UK
Or
2 Have Northern Ireland as a separate independent state in the EU/Commonwealth.
A United 32 county Ireland is not the best solution. In the history of the island going back centuries Ireland was always divided with kings and kingdoms. So in 1921 with partition you could say this was the most united the island has ever been . Weather your Unionist or Nationalist this island is our home and belongs to us all the one thing that unites us all is our love for the island . People in the south fail to realise that more and more people in the North see themselves as Northern Irish
