Irish politics operate differently.
Anyway, the Sinn Fein Party won the Irish election. On Saturday.
And yes. They were heard singing the rebel song, Come Out Ye Black And Tans'
I wondered prior to the Saturday election if this is a good thing. Sinn Fein winning.
The new possible leader of Ireland is Sinn Fein's Mary Lou McDonald. And she has made a positive statement.
That gives definate hope that Sinn Fein's former reputation as a political arm of the Paramilitary IRA.
Is over.
At least for now.
After the Satuday election. Mary Lou McDonald called for an end to the era of her party (Sinn Fein) formerly led by Gerry Adams, being frozen out of coalitions. She said...
'The Democratic thing is for them to speak to me and stop this business of saying Sinn Fein can be put on the margin. So many people have chosen us to represent them'
It looks like though, Sinn Fein are going to form a coalition. With with Leo Varadkkar's Fine Gael and Finanna Fail. As part of the coalition.
But Sinn Fein won the popular vote.
That's a definate.
Mary Lou McDonald and her Party...Sinn Fein. Are very determined for a united Ireland.
So in that sense. Sinn Fein, as a party are still holding true to their roots.
Mary Lou McDonald told the BBC she 'would start preparing for a Border Poll. (On the Irish Border debate). And would ask Boris Johnson to do the same'
Is Boris Johnson for a 'united Ireland'.
That's the big question here.
Because if he isn't.
I see trouble up ahead.
The traditional 'troubles' in Ireland.
That Boris Johnson does not want spilling as they did. Onto the British mainland.
The so called (Continuous) IRA have already started up placing explosives on a lorry bound for Scotland over the irish sea quite recently.
Which causes me to wonder how and why, given that incident.
Did so many young Irish people choose to vote for Sinn Fein on Saturday.
And I know it's a loaded question.
But is the new Sinn Fein going to be nothing like in the past?
57% of the Irish people supported Sinn Fein's desire to hold referendums on unity on BOTH sides of the border.
Unionist leaders though, are ominously saying nothing, 'no comment' on Sinn Fein's latest victory.
Probably furious.
But let's get down to facts.
For years, the Good Friday Agreement has enabled the issue of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland (southern Ireland) having a reunification.
To just sit there...like a dormant volcano. Or frozen in ice.
Now Reunification has reared it's head again.
And these days....It's become a bit more complicated.
Because when the UK left the EU in January. So did it's semi British Territory, Northern Ireland.
They are out of the EU too.
Despite the fact that the majority of Northern Irish people voted to remain in the EU.
However.
The Republic of Ireland (Southern Ireland) remained in the EU.
See how the Irish border gets complicated now.
So now they have added problems with the Irish border.
On issues of freedom of Movement, trade and I guess, serious security issues too
What the worry is ....that this border becomes the focus of the age old sectarian violence.
That over 30 years. Killed 3,500 people in both parts of Ireland.
Alot of them were children.
So there's alot at stake here. That could get triggered.
With this reunification possibility too.... a current unusual fact emerges..
There's been a demographic shift in Ireland.
Roman Catholics have become the largest Religious group in Northern Ireland.
It's no longer British Protestant majority.
Reunification would mean too. That those in Northern Ireland who are currently employed by the British Goverment. Will lose their jobs.
And that's alot of workers.
And economically the whole of Ireland would be affected by that big change.
