Sinn Fein 07:38 - Apr 4 with 11721 views | CountyJim | Looking like they will be the biggest party in NI it's not really a surprise given how many unionist parties there are they are bound to spilt the vote It would be nice to have a none religious vote over there but it's not going to happen | | | | |

Sinn Fein on 07:43 - May 11 by trampie | You are totally and utterly missing the point, their life expectancy in the Republic is as good if not better than ours in the UK that is the bottom line, they pay for health care in the Republic that kind of system has advantages and disadvantages compared to our system, countries system that is to charge to see the doctor don't have malingerers flooding the system to the same degree, they don't have people in the system that shouldn't be in the system that could get over the counter medicine, on the downside it can cause some people not to go to the doctors when perhaps they should go but the bottom line is they have similar DNA, diets, cultural background and their quality of life, happiness, health is a good as ours. It will up to the people of Ireland (both North and South if and when they become United again), I want them to be united because I don't want the Ulster unionists being part of the UK, I realise in the event of unification some will come over here I just hope it will not be to Wales. |
Yes life expectancy in Ireland is better than in NI, Wales and Scotland and the same as in England. Says all you need to know about the failings of the Devolved NHS in Wales and Scotland. | |

Sinn Fein on 08:07 - May 11 with 860 views | Kilkennyjack | The DUP game. Make sure Sinn Fein never get the First Minister. Link the new NI Executive restart to an issue that the NI Executive are not responsiblr for, ie The Johnson negotiated protocol. They may as well ask for the moon. Only UK govt and EU can do anything with Johnsons oven ready Protocol. After 6 months new elections ? Meanwhile all the people in the north of Ireland will suffer. Theresa May told DUP yesterday that had the voted for her Brexit there would be no need for Protocol. Brexit - the shitefest we all knew it was. | |

Any evidence that Russia funded Brexit? Just because you post nonsense does not make it true. I do wish you would respect the democratic choice of the people of Wales they voted to leave the EU and they don't want independence. | |

I actually agree with some of that I think. Even though Sinne Fein have a bloody history with a leader steeped in murderous exploits of her heroes,the DUP aren't helping. Both dogmatic institutions and it makes me believe the bigotry will always be there even though it is buried deeper these days. DUP very existence founded on Church backed contempt and descrimination towards Catholics and to ensure the key job ,well paid jobs in the likes of H@W stayed within the family-protestant family. No easy solution to this. The Good Friday agreement has not,IMO changed core beliefs,ie Sein Fein -One Ireland ,DUP-no surrender to Papery. Biggest issue surely if an united Ireland was voted for then would it be a Catholic country and look toward Rome ,not exactly something Protestants would want. | |

Plenty of evidence that Russia influenced the vote.Cambridge Analytica worked for them If you believe in democracy, it's been 6 years since the last vote. let's have another one to see if we can get back in.A once in a lifetime vote doesn't seem very democratic to me | | | |

It that why Sinn Fein refused to join in power sharing for over two years leaving the people without a government for over two years. You are even wrong about the NI protocol it was Teresa May who was responsible for that together with all the MPs in parliament led by the speaker who would not accept the will of the people of the UK. | |

Sinn Fein on 13:48 - May 11 with 784 views | Boundy | Why stop at 2 votes , why 3 not or 4 , why not allow voting to continue infinitely , that way the previous voters maybe dead lost their marbles and majority of the populace at the time of the vote will be happy .Why not carry this concept through to all aspects of our lives such as the legal system where jurors take a vote on innocence or guilt, that way we could really consider ourselves truly democratic. Although this may not work in Russia . | |

I can't be arsed to check, but from memory the unionists would not agree things that were previously agreed like they wouldn't recognise gay marriage, they wouldn't recognise the Irish language, it was their way or the highway, their leader wouldn't resign over the cash for ash scandal that lost Northern Ireland millions and millions, the republican's leader tactically resigned and they did not nominate a replacement to force an election and that is when the unionist majority was wiped, DUP went from being about 10 seats ahead of Sinn Fein to 1 and after last week Sinn Fein are ahead of DUP by 2 seats, it was the correct thing to do with DUP taking the Mickey let the people vote and the people agreed more with Sinn Fein than the DUP. per the big loss in DUP seats. Now the DUP don't want to play ball not because of Sinn Fein doing wrong but the British, the DUP argument is they don't like the British rules is my understanding and they want them changed. When the troubles started our soldiers were committing suicide out there because they were initially fighting people singing QSTQ and wearing bowler hats, squaddies had no idea what was happening, that situation turned around but these English loving right wing loyalists are no friends of ours as far as this valley commando ex chapel Sunday school Welsh boyo is concerned., Northern Ireland is a basket case and should be nothing to do with Britain.

You do realise that the majority who voted brexit and the majority who still believe in the union and royals etc etc are all getting on. There is a large majority of indy minded people in the younger generations. | |

Most of todays younger generation have very little interest in politics . For most its an Irrelevance to their lives and very few policies are specifically aimed for young people. Historically Labour attract the younger voter & the older tory. Voter turnout was highest among those ages 65 to 74 at 76.0%, while the percentage was lowest among those ages 18 to 24 at 51.4% . | |

Look at any Farage meeting. Mostly old male, pale and stale. Some old female, pale and stale. The past has robbed the younger generation. Yearning for their youth and turning the clock back. These people never fought in the wars, their parents did - and they were heroic. The anti Brexit majority is now about 20 per cent more than Leave. | |

I believe what you really mean is older people vote in accordance with their own selfish interests, which they think are met by the Conservatives. What is wrong with having ideals? Ensuring the place is better for children and grandchildren. Giving them the same or better opportunities. And in my opinion that is not something that will happen being tied to England and their insistence for a right wing Conservative government. | |

We didn’t emerge from the last war with much, God knows, but the one prize the working man was able to attain for the sacrifice was the establishment of the National Health Service: the cornerstone of the modern welfare system. The people of Northern Ireland are British. That welfare system is their birthright. You would see them deprived of that and fall prey to an arrangement where priority is dictated by the thickness of the wallet, not the severity of the condition?
