Sinn Fein *does* recognize Northern Ireland's existence. It doesn't recognize it in a moral sense but does recognize that it was set up and that that has meant a legacy that they have to operate under. The republican movement compromised on this and accepted its existence in return for power-sharing, release of its POWs, and, above all, a peaceful democratic route to Irish independence and the end of partition.

An Irish nationalist party that doesn't even recognize Northern Ireland's existence is in the position to nominate a first minister ... I had to go back and hear this several times. I remember writing a termpaper in university (about the historic roots of the NI conflict) that finished with the outlook that the Irish island could unite once the majority of Northern Ireland's population was in favor of that. (I'm from Germany and studied English.) It seemed a far off possibility then, though probably in my lifetime. Now I see steps leading toward that and it feels ... overwhelming. I've never actually been to NI! I want to be able to say I've been there before it stops existing! I want to see the murals and the crazy parades and talk to the people "on the street". I want to see how NI is more than what I hear on the news. Do I need to book a flight?! No, sorry, of course not. But it really seems so historic and fast and strange - though I am highly in favour of it! And I don't mean that I want the Unionists to feel like even more of a minority than they already do (which I suspect will happen once the island is united); rather I see this as a danger to be addressed. But the separation of the island was - in my opinion and of course I think that it's the truth - forced, unnatural and arbitrary, and thus the unification seems like the most natural thing to me. (Did I mention I am from East Germany and love that we are a united country now? 😉) In any case: Donna nobis pacem - and unity!

Actually, unionist parties overall lost a lot more. Sinn fein gained 1.1%, while the sdlp lost around 1.4%. Meanwhile, except for the TUV , all unionist parties lost votes, and even if counting their wins and losses together, they still lost support overall, and quite a lot. The only clear winner is alliance, but on the long term, sinn fein will still profit the most from this.

There's no doubt now that a majority of people in Northern Ireland support the Protocol (or at the very least, oppose the establishment of a customs border on the island of Ireland, which is the only real alternative to an Irish Sea customs border). As for the border poll question - I don't think Sinn Fein will see any reason to rush it. The demographic trends in Northern Ireland point in only one direction. The lower birth rates and higher emigration rates of Protestant/Loyalist communities have essentially baked them in for the next fifty years. The Unionist supermajority which NI was built on has now eroded completely. There's not even a bare plurality left. Speaking as an Australian - it's hard to see what practical benefits remaining part of the UK would provide Northern Ireland. Whatever those benefits are, I don't see them becoming more compelling in the next twenty years. If the Unionists were smart, they'd push for a quick border poll (which they would probably win if it were held in the next five years) - and then use that as a stick to delay the inevitable. However, nothing about Unionist politics in the last decade has been intelligent. I only hope that the transition, however long it takes, is as peaceful as it can be.

@@jebgue3 I'm not an expert on valuing intergovernmental transfers in the UK. What I will say though is I don't think Northern Ireland would immediately transform into the economic equivalent of Bulgaria if it left the UK. That's what a 65% figure annual subsidy figure would imply and it doesn't sound realistic. As a matter of fact, it sounds so unrealistic that it strains credibility. But there is a broader point to be made here. If Northern Ireland has become such an enormous mendicant province, what the hell does that say about the quality of governance that they have been receiving from the UK over the past century? Not every regional wealth disparity is a policy failure - but one that large left to fester for so long can't be explained as anything but a staggering failure of national leadership. It would almost imply that the national government is deliberately neglecting that part of their country and leaving it to rot.

Preventing free trade exports from mainland GB into NI is too hardline and intransigent. Logically, the border should be on the island of Ireland. The EU has behaved with aggression and hostility,..to use the border by weaponisation is utterly despicable. Brexit = democracy.....GFA = terrorism.
