I will add that there agreement that the sinners brought it down for 3 years is not really valid because they done it on the basis that dup would not make Arlene that a step back while the rhi was investigated. In short it was a reaction to something they saw as wrong and needed dealing with. This is something they voted for and signed into law Just very confused

Yes, it’s clear the have what it takes. As the other comment says, the system currently would not allow it. In fairness, although they do aim for reform in that regard, Alliance are happy enough to work within the current system’s perimeters but are understandably very angry that they’re not even allowed to do that because of DUP theatrics. If there was another vote today, DUP would lose even more seats. Their referencing the protocol is nonsense, it’s just a self serving move to spite SF. If they really cared about the protocol (which by all measures is good for the NI economy) they would take their seats and engage in dialogue about it with the other parties. I’ve lived in London and engaged in the social aspects of political circles. DUP are fooling themselves with the idea that they’re viewed as anything other than provincial Irish troublemakers by the establishment.
@@willslingwood sure the english view everyone as troublemakers thats were the origins of the problems began, englands plan to round up all the trouble makers on one island (scotch and irish)
Very different scenario today. For many years after Partition the Irish Republic hoped to destroy Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is the smaller of the two "Irelands". Those days are long gone but there is still a fear amongst the Unionist ( Irish Protestant) community that they will suffer political and financial harm if the two countries unite. Currently the UK gives a lot of financial assistant to Northern Ireland and N.I. may struggle if this stops. HopefulIy the healthy economies of both countries will stop this being a problem. In the last couple of years there has an amazing amount of trade between the two countries. I believe that the two Irelands will unite as a MERGER between equals not as a larger country overwhelming a smaller one and that all Irish cultural indentities will thrive. Eirinn go Bragh!

Honestly at this point they should just get rid of the power sharing rule. Let SF, Alliance and the SDLP form a coalition government with their collective, pro-protocol/anti-brexit, majority and get on with the work of governing.
General Grievous. Totally. Amend whatever needs to be amended and let the parties who have shown up to work, form a coalition government without the dup.
@@helenhunter4540 interesting amend what needs to be ammended so change the law to remove democratic processes to suit one side of a toxic divide wonder how that will inevitably turn into another 40 years of discrimination, growth in civil unrest, bombs and murders. Those who choose to forget their past will be forced to relive it.
@@gavinhillick isn't demanding the unilateral scrapping of the protocol, which would then necessitate a (treaty breaking) hard border on the island of Ireland, also flippant disregard for the same? Protocol exists, in essence, to defend the GFA (and also happens to be doubly useful as it softens the blow of a Brexit a majority in the North oppose). DUP determination to destroy against, against the expressed will of the electorate, has in my view made amendment/update of the agreement, in one form or another, necessary. Either way its being broken, it's just a matter of whether that breech favors democracy (the anti-brexit majority) or the system being held ransom by an overly belligerent political minority (the DUP). I'd obviously prefer the former... seems a more graceful conclusion.
Ireland was partitioned so as to ensure a permanent Unionist majority in the North. That's why it took so long for a Nationalist party to win. They were never supposed to. Strange how British media always fail to mention this.
@@FOLIPE exactly, somewhere they wouldn't be dominated by Irish Nationalists. And the GFA specifically requires power-sharing, i.e. Unionists and Nationalists in the Assembly together.
Naomi Long… what a leader. Brilliant Rhetoric; Fantastic speaker and sticks true to her values. This is the leadership we need in the north of Ireland… Sinn Fein & DUP bicker between themselves. It will never work. We need a more progressive brand of politics here!
They will not see Boris over there, because he is too busy floating around Europe playing at being a PM, the big man, promising to send into conflict zones if need arises, the son of the tapayer he is laughing at today when Party Gate was mentioned never seen nor heard of this guy being so mobile, never usually has time for anything but holding a party here there and every where in London, No 10 being his party location of choice, maybe because the taxpayers foot the bill that way, or he is usually decorating with a bill that comes to more than a ordinary taxpayers year salary.
Funny how these people dont respect the GFA when it dosent suit them. Alliance supporting the protocol that has no cross community support and still wanting the assembly is a joke. SF light.
Give forced power-sharing a decent burial. The parties scoff at the DUP while claiming that they want to work together. Laughable. It's dysfunctional and anti-democratic to demand that parties that despise each other must work together.
Of course they did, but SF see everything through green tinted specs. I saw Connor Murphy in an interview yesterday spouting about the DUP and supporting the protocol. The interviewer asked how he would have reacted if the EU border had been placed on the Irish border. Murphy paused then evaded the question.
I agree with the DUP’s opposition to the Protocol. However, Naomi Long is quite correct regarding their tactics. The DUP shouldn’t have participated in the formalities or take salaries as MLA’s.
She was referring to politicians who got up in chamber and complained about the cost of M&S. She then highlighted the rift between those people, and the people she represents who are left relying on food banks.
this person had been in power for years, whilst all this stuff she's spouting about was just as bad or worse.... what's shameful is that she can stand there with her brass neck and claim it's all just happened and she and her party can 'walk and chew gum at the same time' and fix it over night...she needs to wise up

At least dup are standing up for the unionist voters who are against an Irish Sea border . This woman needs to recognise the British citizens wishes and get rid of that protocol before the assembly gets up and running . It simply goes against the good Friday agreement
The DUP have been fantastic in accelerating an united Ireland. The people of Northern Ireland voted against Brexit and Mays deal would have been the better solution for Northern Ireland. England wanted a hard brexit and if that meant kicking Northern Ireland with the DUP under the bus they were willing to do that. Sure with direct rule, Westminister implemented same sex marriage, abortion and the Irish Language Act.
The economy of Northern Ireland is improving at a much faster rate than any other country in the UK entirely because of the protocol. That's why people voted for SF rather than the DUP. The will of the people has been made clear. This isn't about the British. Its about what is best for the future of Northern Ireland - and that's keeping the protocol in place until such a time as a serious discussion about Irish unification can take place.

Don't be fooled by trajectories. Alliance may continue to grow, but the DUP will continue to hoover up the support of the band parade community. That's the elephant in the room in this whole fiasco. It's the malcontents in twenty or thirty housing estates who object to any change in the status quo who are pulling the DUP's strings.

Get rid of the dup and let both of these islands move on to a better future shameful and disgraceful that a few degenerates can hold people against there will and to ransom
Australia became an independant nation within the British Empire (now British Commonwealth) by voting for it. No revolution, just sensible voting. The former British Empire as been quietly turning all their former colonies into independant nations since 1945.
I’m pretty sure 90% of Ireland WANTS to be in the EU. Because why wouldn’t they? In the 1970s, Ireland was an absolute hellhole. Nearly 1000 years of being ransacked and genocided by the brits, they had WW1, a war of independence against UK, a civil war etc they were in absolute poverty and disarray. But thanks to the EU, Ireland is now wealthier than the UK.. lol.
Do the dup talk to business communities?? Hasn't the protocol afforded the industries of Northern Ireland not been given a unique position in Europe and the UK???

Stop all there pay this is disgraceful if we don't work we don't get paid
STOP wages of all partys who do not want to do their jobs.....
Westminster manages NI as if it were a colony. Oh, it is isn't it.
There are too many who act only to selfish ends, and so who few act in service of the greater good
We had Jeremy Corbyn but people don't want democratic socialism that's only for the rich

She's a liar & a hypocrite.. She had no problem whatsoever refusing to nominate for the assembly when SF-IRA Pulled down Stormont for 3 Years.. She's also a Liar that The DUP are refusing to work because they won't work under nationalists..
THE DUP ASKED FOR A MANDATE "NOT" TO TAKE THEIR SEATS UNTIL THE PROTOCOL IS SCRAPPED.. They Got Their Mandate.. NOTHING TO DO WITH WHO WON THE ELECTION.. To suggest it's anything other than standing by their word is downright deceitful..
SHE KNOWS SHE'S LYING..!!
I think t problem is the dup dont have any shame
dup hypocrites... take the money and run.... Anyone who doesn't take their seat should not get paid !
3yrs ira sinn fein didn't go to work
@Craig Wilson and what are the benefits of having the dup in westminster ??? they are only there for the backhanders and to get shafted by boris on a regular basis, that's where the real irony lives. And as soon as they get off the 1st class plane to London they become a 'thick mick' too...ffs
Alliance will be the biggest party in NI within 10 yrs under the stewardship of this lady, certainly 2nd.
Dup will fall to 3rd if we are to look at the trajectory .
Its game over for the Duped imo.
Don't be fooled by trajectories. Alliance may continue to grow, but the DUP will continue to hoover up the support of the band parade community. That's the elephant in the room in this whole fiasco. It's the malcontents in twenty or thirty housing estates who object to any change in the status quo who are pulling the DUP's strings. They're the same folk who turned the electricity off in the 1970s when they didn't get their way.
She is something else

If she does not peg it she will continue to take ira sinn fein votes
@@joprocter4573 I was speaking about Alliance and all the DUP melt-heads can speak about is the IRA ..Obsessed much??😅😅😅
Time to unify Ireland
This woman has form in telling the truth,and exactly how it is.
And giving ira sinn fein her party votes and backup. She yapps forever
DUP are dead horses walking not realizing they are dinosaurs….
Amen, Naomi Long!
Get rid of the dup and let both of these islands move on to a better future shameful and disgraceful that a few degenerates can hold people against there will and to ransom
Adolf would say the DUP are Oven Ready
The English never left a colony peacefully or without breaking agreement. Why shld NI be different … time to rearm “Winter is coming”.
Name countries
The English?!
We don’t even have our own parliament!!
Australia became an independant nation within the British Empire (now British Commonwealth) by voting for it. No revolution, just sensible voting. The former British Empire as been quietly turning all their former colonies into independant nations since 1945.
Shame in the DUP shame on the Tory Party 😔☝️
No one in Stormont should get paid while there's no executive,that would surely focus minds.
Ireland unfree shall never be at peace 🇮🇪🇮🇪 26+6=1
Tell that to the EU….The UK only has 6 the EU has 26.

UK will annex Ireland before that happens.
@@redstar8042 with full backing of the Irish population! Irish by the grace of God European by choice🇮🇪🇪🇺
I’m pretty sure 90% of Ireland WANTS to be in the EU. Because why wouldn’t they? In the 1970s, Ireland was an absolute hellhole. Nearly 1000 years of being ransacked and genocided by the brits, they had WW1, a war of independence against UK, a civil war etc they were in absolute poverty and disarray. But thanks to the EU, Ireland is now wealthier than the UK.. lol.
Preach the truth sister....
Hopefully she becomes health minister
Drama
Division
Disruption
THE DDD
Naomi has given the DUP it's proper name!
Or it would be, if they were capable of shame.
Do the dup talk to business communities?? Hasn't the protocol afforded the industries of Northern Ireland not been given a unique position in Europe and the UK???
Stop the salaries, of the DUP, They won't be too long in changing their minds ! 🤬
Not to take away from that wonderful speech, but why was the lady in blue painted a goldish color?
Sidekicks need look at own shame
She's shameful
