Ian Paisley can't be too happy at the moment. End of one hell of a familial era.

So glad that the Sinn Fein has made this break through. During the "troubles" I always wanted them to get real representivity for the Irish people My parents English Protestants hated Paisley and all he represented Bravo Sinn Fein

The reason our count takes longer is because our system of PR is different and requires more counts. One would have thought you'd know that Ivan.

Unionism have to come to terms with their History. They live in Ireland, not Britain. Colonialism is left in the History Books where it belongs.

Bobby Sands: "Our Revenge Will be In The Laughter Of Our Children " Brilliant to see. We all knew the day would come.

Delighted to see Paisley out. We need to move forward not backward.

The old guard unionists days are over. Maybe we're all a step closer to a peaceful future together regardless of faith and ethnicity.

The times they are a changin indeed.

If the unionist had of treated the Catholics with a decent regard this would not have happened

It’s amazing how much goes on in the north. I’d genuinely love to see the day Ireland united and what the politics looks like after a few decades of that. It’s just such a shame that Ireland was partitioned.

Hahaha good bye paisley

DUP could not survive the Donaldson scandal and their pro-Brexit position, given the Tories post Brexit policies. DUP also nearly lost the "East Londonderry" seat, only 179 votes saved them from a complete rout. Unionism is fractured. The DUP is done. Paisley Jr. lost his daddy's fief. First time since partition that a Nationalist party has had the most seats at the local, assembly and Westminster level in the North. One more step closer to a united Ireland.

A nation once again ' a nation once again And Ireland long a province be A nation once again. 🇮🇪

Sinn Fein has an excellent leader up North. Sinn Fein down South has a out of touch leader and if she remains that party is done and dusted.

The Northern landscape is changing big time. UNBELIEVABLE.

SF/SDLP now have 9 of 18 seats .. if this was a unity poll, Alliance would hold the tipping point. Unionists should be very worried by recent sets of elections.

I'd say that the SF success is stuck in your craw Ivan, Get it right up ye...😊

Our day will come 32 country United and free well done Michelle we got them on the run

Time for Irish Unity wouldn't it be great to finally get the Republic invisioned in the Proclamation

United Ireland

He has absolutely no clue. So many really strange mistakes.

Shin fein has a great leader the way she speaks pure class verry well done to her

I remember when the rev Ian paisley said the “first thing an Ulster man has to remember is he’s an IRISHMAN.

Sinn Fein "under pressure" Ivan Did you see the vote!

Only Becomes a Recognised Respectable Historical Event if it Improves the LOT of ALL the People & their Futures going. Forward. Let's Hope So.

Will it be an islamic United Ireland now thats frightening. Sinn fein are all over them in the south.

Ireland should be united, it would solve many problems.

Sinn finished here in south we all looked to them but they too turned there bk on working class and didnt listen,,then turned into finn woke gail,,,leftist looney,,,,,

Times are changing

We are touching reunification!

The they not even bother to tell is the result

Great interview: bring us more.

Time for a united ireland leave britain like scotland should and wales give the young a chance to decide not the dinosaurs of a colonial past

It has been relatively easy sailing for Sinn Fein so far but this is where it gets tough. The problem with having a majority is that you have to deliver something with it. Look at the Scottish Nationalists.

East Derry least we forget, Ooo don't you worry lads I need no reminders 🗽

Well done, sinn fein

Why don't they move there and stay there?

UNITED IRELAND NOW!!!

Rock on Ireland 🇮🇪

Great news😊

This election has confirmed the splintering of the unionist vote - some seem to at least partially accept reality, while others do not. There will be a referendum.

Dyslexic ulster says on

Éire 32 🇮🇪

bye bye ian

Surely they won't be the largest NI party in Westminster as they don't their seats in the parliament 🤔

I think ian paisley didnt display a lot of political intelligence

SF have shown they are not on the side of working people

Jim Allister? Are you joking? Paisley was bad enough but Allister? Are the people of North Antrim brain dead or what?

Fantastic news about Sinners … 👏 absolute respect 🫡 NOW the REPUBLIC OF IRELAND 🇮🇪 SHINNERS NEED TO GET INTO POWER 💪🍀🇮🇪💚

Not so good in the Republic though

How come, they are nearly all millionairs,on the 'basic minimum Wage.' MARY LOU OF COURSE!.

OK Pat What does Alastair Campbell or Matthew Paris think of it Go on have your view confirmed

Time for a united ireland poll😊

I hope northern sinn fein is more supporeive to their people than the gang in tbe south.

I know S F don’t want anything to do with Westminster but I wish they would get involved in important debates / votes that might impact NI.

That should be sent to the European Courts 🇪🇺 of Justices ⚖️ this conversation makes any sense exactly 💯 that'sI

Tick Tock, tick tock, tick tock................😂

But are sein fein taking up their seats in westminster and if not why not?

Now the Ulster unionist will have to have more orange parades to give them the chance to continue proving that they are British (even though they really are Irish)

Gregory Campbell DUP held on to his seat by the slim margin of 180 votes in what was always a strong Unionist constituency , his winning speech was realistic and conciliatory, he knows time is not on the side of Unionists in Northern Ireland and for the union within the UK to survive unionists must appeal more to Catholics, apart from the border issue the DUP policies are not that out of step with traditional Catholic values and even though Sinn Fein are increasing their vote everywhere that has more to do with voting along tribal lines than a wish to see a united Ireland any time soon if ever, apart from SF party members no one in Derry that I know ever talks about it and I’d doubt if it’s in their top 50 concerns. Many Republicans say the Republic is not the same place that they would have fought to rejoin during the Troubles , the current government in Dublin is more beholding to the EU than it’s own citizens, the open borders has caused a huge change in demographics, there’s a severe lack of affordable housing, healthcare or even finding a doctor which also cost money for each appointment, as a former Republican activist like many of my old comrades I certainly wouldn’t be voting for a united Ireland, it’s really incumbent on every citizen of Northern Ireland to make this place a better place for our children and grandchildren and forget about the south , that train has already left the station. I’d gladly work with any unionist willing to make an honest effort to make Northern Ireland a more wonderful place to live .

Just a heads up LITERALLY This presenter is so used to being a RADIO presenter, he has no idea how to look in to the camera

Don't forget that SF sold out the South of Ireland, and will do the same To the people of the North,

Sinn fein are exactly as they were, no extra seats. All bs

Lets make Sinn Fein pay down here next year for what they presided over.

Ivan Yates, a lifelong anti-Irish and pro loyalist Fine Gaeler from Wexford.

Big Ivan the hun can’t swallow it 🤣

Ian og 😅

God help us all,

They won't get that support in the Republic!

Well Michelle is on track ,but mary lou is a disaster and a liability to the party ,shewould be more at home going back to her original party

😂😂 Amazing look what they just did told Zimbabwe that they will pay everyone 4200euro to move here, when they get here no tax, insurance or drivers licences needed, don't be fooled Ireland. They don't care either look at their eyes, faces plump from drink, drugs, food. Your paying for everything.

It’s the women what done it,so they did….

Sinn fein are still fabians.

The reason is......

Sinn Fein refuses to take up their seats at Westminster. Time to stop paying them.

Sinn fein the party for the people.

Maybe Ivan yates should join 🤔 the Northern Ireland government 🤔 😅Minister of 😅

There are ~5 Sinn Fein alignments. The one in view is Provisional Sinn Fein

😂😂😂😂😊😊😊 i love it great new.

They can call themselves Fianna Ulster Union or Fine D MC (Democratic Munster Party) in the south as is the norm for failed political wings in Ireland..Sinn Fein are the most oil dependant community in the North so obviously are the only leadership allowed...Oil captivity is far worse than internship and Sinn Fein have become a leading industrial revolution political wing when it originated in opposing the industrial revolution in Ireland for two hundred years... the otber political wings are almost oil free business snd therefore going concerns.

why is it ok to count votes in the UK over a couple of hours and Irl a couple of days-both have similar democracies

Weren't too hot here south of the border, pity about this though, would love to see them fade from history, but I'm sure eventually the chickens will come hometo roost whenthese traitors will have no one to vote for them.

🎉

What a waste - won't even take their seats...some representation

Is Marylou a plant?

Yes yes , rubbish

🎉 3:18

😮

Distortion , propaganda , essentially just tripe , in reality the Northern Ireland political situation has not changed in any meaningful way , the Unionists parties collectively , ( which includes Alliance) , still poll collectively approximately 60% of the vote . All Sinn Fien has done is syphoned votes from the SDLP their overall vote has changed very little . Most of the Alliance votes come from the unionists population . If you look at the who was elected to UK Parliament SF , SDLP, ALLIANCE remains the same, the Unionist party’s have the same number of seats , the only change is that instead of a DUP unionist it’s a more broadly unionist representation, cause by the DUP capitulation to Sunak , returning to Stormont , and Donaldson’s fall from Grace. What is being ignored is the collapse of the Irish nationalist birth rate in the North which now stands at 1.47 approximately, which is well below replacement. In short Irish nationalism in the North is in a stalemate situation with a reducing population. The only way they can have any sway over power is to contrive a coalition with Alliance which is constitutionally unionist. If you choose to delete this or ignore then it’s reality no me you have a problem with.

Provisionals will have to bring the armalite back😮

shin feyen

I hope they can fix the boarder to take our country back.

I'd like to see Ireland join NATO
