Mm... I assume this is set in the pre war 30s. And what some now call "Stroke City" (to get round the Londonderry/Derry issue) is featured early herein and has an apparent air of tranquility. Far from the truth: even then this majority nationalist city was, by blatent electoral gerrymandering, run by the unionists with resulting major housing inequalities. No wonder the terrible 1969-1998 Troubles started there: the locals, on protest marches then, merely wanting "one man one vote". And were there and then met by RUC baton charges and beatings. Now, fortunately in 2023, PR STV applies in all local elections, the old unionist 66 / nationalist 34 split, is now more like 45 each (with an increasing centrist grouping of c10% emerging between them). So the long term future of NI, IMO, lies with this sector (the 45% unionist grouping, being of an older demographic than the nationalist one, will slowly reduce in number, whilst the 45% nationalist grouping will slowly grow). Obviously the nationalist sector is pro Bremain as are most in the centrist grouping: remembering that overall, NI voted 56% Bremain. So will these two groupings look to GB, now no longer in the EU, with a moribund economy and a sullen and very pro Bremain Scotland shackled therein? Or to the increasingly affluent Republic next door (staying in the EU, tho it has housing and health service issues)? Only time will tell. The current lack of local Stormont regional govt hasnt frankly helped either...
