  • Sinn Féin's historic win in regional elections has caused a political stalemate as the DUP vows to block the election of ministers to the executive until the Northern Ireland protocol is revised.

    The protocol is a contentious element of the UK's Brexit withdrawal agreement, which the DUP campaigned to scrap. The UK government is poised to table legislation next week that would revoke parts of the protocol and resolve the political impasse, but the EU has said it 'will not renegotiate' the protocol

    The protocol has not paralyzed Stormont. The DUP have paralyzed Stormont because they don't want a Sinn Féin first minister. But the DUP know they cannot say that so they are using the protocol as an excuse.

      Actually theres less Nationalists seats now in Stormont than what there was before and theres a unionist majority of seats. Nationalists actually scored an own goal in voting big for Sinn fein for the first minister role as they weakened the S D L P and other nationalist parties vote to the alliance party who are a Northern Ireland party.
      The first minister and deputy hold the exact same power its only a symbolic thing so Stormont would suit the D U P alright as unionists have more power than they did have before.

    There needs to be a new rule for the Stormont assembly. If an elected MLA of ANY party refuses to take their seat for ANY reason and prevents a cabinet from being formed by a certain date, that MLA automatically loses their seat, and that seat automatically goes to whichever unelected candidate finished next down the list in that constituency irrespective of party This should be made a legal proviso of running for election to the NI assembly. Any MLA who doesn't like that idea shouldn't be running for election in the first place.

      @Dave Alex Are you trying to say the current impasse and lack of government in NI isn’t “silly”? There isn't a Northern Ireland government anyway so you should perhaps have a rethink about what you consider "silly”. People whose aim is to block democratic institutions from functioning unless they can dictate to everyone else shouldn’t be running in democratic elections in the first place. Otherwise it makes NI a dictatorship of some rather than a democracy for all.

    I understood this way. BJ and the DUP conspired. The DUP harshly lost and suddenly requested a re-negotiation with the EU. BJ pretends to be anxious about the delay of democratic processes starting in Northern Ireland but in his depth he is elated by this confusion. BJ claims that the EU should make unilateral concessions with the protocol, to avoid the political turmoil of Northern Ireland. Utterly toxic logic I Imagined. Is this a rational conjecture?

Ira sinn fein lost to alliance a chunk of their voters. UK ml mps are poor negotiating ppl and must not do with out mps from each country. Brexit hard brexit was only way to put to bed as EU unelected crooks twist and distort meanings. We have clauses to use still. Boris. Cameron. May. Rubbish instead of cutting to the chase.
