Default Northern Ireland will have to go on Direct Rule
Sinn Fein are not willing
to sit at the table with the DUP

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-a9024801.html


It ran from 1972 to 1998

Brexit is important
so Direct Rule will have to take over in some weeks time

This is why Sinn Fein are losing support, you are elected by the people, go and take your seat

Though they are elected by people who already know they don't take their seats. So you could argue that taking the seats would go against the wishes of their viewers...

Their support was well down in the last elections, I think people are tiring of it, and if direct rule is put in place they really will be toast
