The fact the majority in Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU is a fascinating fact but of no relevance as we voted as the United Kingdom


The First Minister is elected by the Assembly on a joint ticket with the deputy First Minister through a cross-community vote. Why am I surprised that you didn't learn about this on your fact finding mission near the border 20 years ago?

Ah so the will of the people doesn't count in N. Ireland. I notice it doesn't count in Scotland either. And you wonder why you're country is in the state it is in.


The Kingdom doesn't look very United, does it?

I admit I don't understand Northern Ireland politics and I am glad I don't. As far as I am aware (correct me if wrong) the DUP are the majority party therefore the majority must have voted for them and your views are not typical of all people who live in the province

As for Britain not being united there is one easy way to put that right let the people vote for a new parliament however parliament is currently blocking all elections

Britain was once a beacon of democracy its an international joke now and little better than South American or African dictatorships where elections are rigged or prevented

"I admit I don't understand Northern Ireland politics"

You have never set foot in the place, you were oblivious to the fact that people who live in N. Ireland can declare as Irish citizens and hold Irish passports and yet you lecture us who live here. Once again, the majority in N. Ireland voted to remain in the EU. The DUP have pushed for brexit, completely ignoring the wishes of their constituents.

Again a tantrum because the opposition parties wont have the election when Bojo says so. When you are a serial liar people tend not to believe you when you promise things. An election won't change the views of those in Scotland and N. Ireland who have had a tory brexit forced upon them. Good luck uniting them.

Britain once claimed ownership of one quarter of the globe, including the United States, Australia and India. A beacon of democracy. Really?

The poll finds that Northern voters are deeply dissatisfied with the management of Brexit by the UK government and, most significantly, with the Democratic Unionist Party, with more than three-quarters of all voters saying they are dissatisfied with the UK government.

Two-thirds of all voters (67 per cent) say the DUP is doing a bad job of representing Northern Ireland at Westminster, while 69 per cent of people – including 57 per cent of those from a Protestant background – are dissatisfied with DUP leader Arlene Foster.

The poll in Northern Ireland was conducted through face-to-face interviews among a national quota sample of 536 people throughout all regions. Personal in-home interviewing took place on March 4th, 5th and 6th. The accuracy level is estimated to be about plus or minus 4.29 per cent.

Britain invented democracy and now were crap at it.

Dont forget South Africa.

Are you saying SA owns its own diamond and gold mines which the Crown Corporation "took over" in 1902.

The DUP got 10 of 18 seats I understand. By my maths that means they got a majority which means more people in the province disagree with you. You don't speak for Northern Ireland any more than I speak for the people of England.

I have been to Southern Ireland but never the north I trust the average person there has more intellect than you. Although I have never been to Northern Ireland I have worked and socialised with plenty of their people and they were fine. Decent people

I have also met a few like you riven with sectarian hatred and division to be fair on both sides of the divide. My experience is that people like you are few in number but make the most noise

I think you should ask those you know in Ireland North and South, think about a no deal brexit which Bojo wants to implement even if he has to act against the law.

"I admit I don't understand Northern Ireland politics" You then proceed to give a lecture on politics in N. Ireland.

55% of the electorate in N. Ireland voted to remain. Now by my maths that means that the majority in N. Ireland wanted to remain in the EU.

Another lecture on Ireland from a man who was near the border once 20 years ago. The only man ever to advocate political murder on Koptalk. You have a brass neck.

You have previous on here for referring to the Irish as stupid and equating one british life worth the same as 500 Irish lives. Your problem with the Irish now is that we will no longer dance to England's tune.

As I said we voted in the EU referendum as the United Kingdom it would not matter that 100% of the voters in Northern Ireland voted to stay in the EU we voted as the United Kingdom

Also 55% is a majority but not a huge majority and let's remember many voted against the Belfast agreement but the view of the majority prevailed. Why are those principles different for the EU referendum

And I take no lectures on violence from an IRA sympathiser and sectarian fanatic

71% of the electorate voted for the Good Friday Agreement.
Oh dear

55% is not a huge majority but apparently 52% means the people have spoken.
Oh dear.

A man planning to vote for a party who has an elected member who refused to condemn the IRA bombing in Warrington calls others IRA sympathisers.
Oh dear.

Of course you will take no lectures on violence. You are a huge fan of its use.
Oh dear

#oh dear, just oh dear.
