As a 55 year old irish person .This election is hopefully the beginning of the end of sectarianism.

Long live one Ireland 🇮🇪

This woman has done her homework, much more so that most western journalists!

CONGRATULATIONS TO SINN FEIN MAKE IRELAND UNITE AGAIN I'M FROM INDIA 🇮🇳❤🇮🇪

Congratulations Sinn Fein & Ireland !

whatever you think of what is going on atm, lets not forget how much the UK government lied about this. Time after time they promised Brexit wouldn't result in a border in Ireland or the Irish sea, and wouldn't reignite tensions there

ONWARDS TO UNITY AND THE LIBERATION OF OUR PEOPLE ✌️🇮🇪

A border poll ( Referendum ) might take up to 5 years maybe a bit more but it will come and eventually there will be A United Ireland. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Long live the Irish Republic 🇮🇪

I have long been deeply fascinated with the history, politics and demographics of Northern Ireland. Very good insight. Thanks Al Jazeera.

Dail is pronounced dawl not dale. for future reference.

People just sick of the DUP ( unionists) saying No and not able to agree on Anything. I don't vote SF but applaud them on their victory. A lot better than DUP .

GO on SF. As William Wallace once famously said (apparently)UNITE THE CLANS.🍀🍀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪🇮🇪

🇮🇪☘️ great day for Northern Ireland, and all of Ireland

Northern Ireland should secede from the English rule. Support their Freedom !

Brexit really messed things up. How can the UK argue Scotland and Northern Ireland should remain in the UK when those countries perhaps want to be part of a bigger Union, i.e. the EU. Why be part of a smaller Union when they could be part of a bigger one, and with countries who didn't historically treat them as 2nd class citizens.

I seem to remember this “Trimble adviser” declaring, albeit a number of years ago that there was never any religious discrimination in employment in N.Ireland. A patently ridiculous statement, which if memory serves, he tried to excuse by saying he was suffering from influenza, or some other ridiculous excuse. That statement should have precluded him from ever presenting himself as an expert in anything to do with N.Ireland, ever again.

1:39 That is incorrect. Sinn Féin is not the only party active in the North and South. People Before Profit have representatives elected in both and there are several other parties who are active in both

Hopefully this will remove the UK rule and Ireland can be free finally.

"It's s Called Democracy "🇮🇪

Bobby Sands is smiling down, "Our revenge will be the laughter of our children" 🍀🇮🇪

Freedom for NI, enough is enough. As a british man, I do not like injustice and occupying other people's land.

For the first time in hundreds of years we re looking at a United Ireland

Sinn Fein must now prove they can govern better than Unionists. No scandals, bias or corruption that has been associated with Unionist government.

This brings me great joy. I hope that one day Ireland will be strong and united. Glory to the heroes who died for this cause!

The SNPs aim is NOT to “break up the UK”, it is an independent Scotland. Any so- called political expert that doesn’t know the difference isn’t worth listening to.

United Ireland needs to be realized.

imagine the scenes if Ireland was unified.. sesh..

Look forward to United and Independent Ireland, and Scotland.... let England only be England (Wales, wake up!!).

Give Ireland back.It’s time for the island to be unified.

One Island, One People, One Ireland forward.

Congratulations Sinn Fein Long live Ireland ☘️🇮🇪

The reason is Freedom. The Irish people wanted independence from English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 rule. United Ireland 🇮🇪💪

Love the civil discourse being had here for the time given.

Look , the Unionist Party is British Nationalism being imposed on the people of Ireland , the"union" part is not real , when its the brits the ones who do not want to give up ireland

Long Long Long way before there is ever a United Ireland. It is another move in the right direction, and I pray I live long enough to see the day, when Ireland is one.

Graham's arrogance and logic is the reason Britain is in this mess their in 🤣

The man from Cambridge is wrong. The Alliance party is very strong with a very strong future. Most people want to vote for them but are afraid to move away from their green or blue vote. However this election shows less people are afraid and now the next time Alliance will get even more

Politicians who were supporting Brexit because they wanted an independent UK, now are against NI independence and unification with its own people. Ridiculous...

Second time I have listened to this Trimble advisor and I find all his arguments disingenuous and self-serving. And of course Johnson loves wielding the Protocol cudgel, it helps him consolidate his support among the hard right ERG.

Irish reunification has always been historically inevitable, we are just moving closer to it.

Democracy is making a comeback in NI in spite of the English Corruption

Watching this is hard with that white screen writing it’s supposed to say and this is a fact which can be researched widely across the internet and KZfaq “ the I.R.A fought British troops to force Britain out of Ireland” 🇮🇪

Laughable to suggest that the protocol was imposed by the EU (1) The UK voted for Brexit. The protocol is the EU's attempt to accommodate this fact whilst respecting the Good Friday Agreement. Its a virtually impossible thing to do without offending somebody. But the EU acted in good faith all along as they have no desire for anything other than peace and stability. (2) A majority of the electorate in the North of Ireland voted to remain in the EU. And the same majority voted for Pro EU Protocol parties ever since. In every election. The British government and the Unionists have shown contempt for this simple fact throughout the entire Brexit process. By opting for the most hardline possible breakup despite the implications for the North of Ireland. (3) The British government negotiated the protocol and signed it. They then turned around and rejected it. That shows even greater contempt. (4) The British government lied consistently about the implications of Brexit. By denying there would be a hard/or semi hard border either within Ireland or in the Irish sea. It was obvious to everyone that this was a false position. And so it has turned out. These are the facts. And they are not contested.

I have been closely observed NI election. My observation is Sinn Fein was unbelievably united in the poll. On the Other hand parties loyal to UK were divided into many, so that number of votes are divided among them. Clearly, division among unionist parties gave Sinn Fein a competitive edge in the election. I can bet if unionist front were united the election result would have been completely different. I could be wrong.

United Ireland

Sinn Fein is the only way forward for Ireland ,

Free Ireland unite Ireland 🇮🇪 😍

The comparison between Scotland & Ireland is completely nonsense. If you see it geographically and also their other half families are just next door. So if they want to unify its best for the whole Ireland people's.

English rule has arrogant and not understand the modern politics and not heard Irish people interest

That British man has not a clue. He supports British occupation of Ireland regardless of the democratic wishes of the native Irish

Graham is incorrect. the Protocol was not introduced by EU. It was a negotiated international agreement. If his contention about the GFA was correct Brexit could not have been introduced in Northern Ireland.

Why can't Mr Gudgin ever manage to look at the Camera???

The DUP would pull NI off a cliff if it meant they could die with Britain.

I’m sure every colonised country dreams of a day like this, the shoe is on the other foot for the first time in 100 years in the north. Historically, in other continents, coloniser flood the place with soldiers and arrest any opposition . Not this time though.

They arrogantly ignored the concerns of Scotland and, especially, Ireland when they narrowly voted in favor of Brexit. Northern Ireland’s concerns simply aren’t a high priority in British Parliament. I doubt they’ll unite with Ireland any time soon, but it seems potentially possible in the future, and Brexiteers have only themselves to blame.

LOL. Wasn't it according to Star Trek Next Generation mentioning "The Irish reunification in 2022"? That would be hillarious, the episode in question I believe was banned in England as the teabags got offended... HUZZA FOR IRELAND!

Omg, I didn't know how much I missed polite debates

This version of (Provisional) Sinn Fein was founded in 1971. It has got no relation to the Sinn Frein party of Arthur Griffith founded in 1905. Sinn Fein of the early 20th Century split into two parties in the 1920s that became Fianna Fail and Cumann na Gael (eventually Fine Gael).

1:40 This is incorrect, Sinn Féin is not the only political part active both ides of the border. People before Profit are active both sides of the border, and have elected members of both parliaments.

Isnt people before profit active in both countries

There are 193 countries in the world. One of them is Ireland. Another one is United Kingdom. The other 191 support Ireland.

YES 💯%✅ UNITED IRELAND 🇮🇪🇮🇪

Gudgin said 30% (roughly) of the North would be in favour of Irish unification… when the population (voting population say) is roughly 50/50, the census is out soon expected to show a Nationalist/Catholic majority… which would mean that the other 20% of the population, that is Irish, would vote, or not, to stay in the UK… which I do not believe for one second… I believe too that he knows it...

The Irish Parliament or Dáil is not pronounced Dale as the newsreader said at the start, it’s pronounced Doil.

It will be an interesting marching season.

Can you do a discussion of the possible new election after the 6 months if there's no government?

Since brexit there has been a record number of applications for Irish passports coming from NI, even unionists want to be Irish now…

like the way you forgot to say about the brits staving the irish to death

Incorrect comment RE Sinn Fein being the only all Ireland party at the beginning of the video.. people before profit also stem both sides of the ‘border’ and have seats in Leinster house and stormont

Good luck to the Good people of Northern Ireland, I think the people of Northern Ireland have made the right decision.

Was once interviewed by Morrow.

Maybe mentioning that sinn fein has distanced itself from armed combat would have been worth an idea, that's a bit more important to know than when the party was founded. I'm a bit confused by the presentation at the beginning o_0

32 county Republic of Ireland 800 years to late 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

This is a turning point for Britain it won't be called the United Kingdom anymore as Scotland will soon be Independent, N Ireland will soon join Ireland so Wales and England will have to be called rUK (rest of the UK) or little Britain.

I would say the most interesting story was the rise of the Alliance. Sinn Fien did get more votes (first preference) than last time but no increase in seats.

Britain caused this Problem, so Britain don't have any other option but to rejoin the Single Market. They can't have both.

Dinosaurs are hard to die! Maybe, a cataclysmic event is needed in order for them to be extinguished!

I hope that this will help the process of creating an new President Sim to the future of the world of the Ireland 🇮🇪 has been under the influence of the Queen of England and has not been able-bodied to be able to get together and still have time to get outside of the House of Commons and the British Crown. If they're going to have to let them go. Way to go Ireland's, from this American person Ms. Ammons.

A HOUSE TO CALL HOME 26+6

Dáil is pronounced like Ball but with a D. Not Dale like the presenter said. Or like Boil with a D , that's just a particular accent. So just think Ball, but with a D instead.

They didn’t add a single seat. It wasn’t a shinner victory, it was an Alliance victory and DUP/TUV clusterfuck

It’s time for a 32 county United Irish Republic. I do believe in my lifetime I will see a United Irish nation.

very poor analysis esepcially from the graham fellow fromt eh university of cambridge. firstly his figures for support for a united ireland he said between 25% and i think he said 35% are deeply inaccurate . Polls of course bring back different answers based on the question asked. Iam sure soem polls have put a united ireland vote significantly higher . Also int eh alst election the combined nationalist vote with Sinn fein SDLP aontu and PBPA is close to 40%. In addition, you never addressed the very strong chance that Sinn fein become the governing party in the republic of ireland, which looks exceedingly likely in the election due in 2 years. This would allow SF to use the force and abilities of the irish government to really out the vote on the table and start cross community conversations about it, that will undoubtely raise the vote as it did when the snp did similar in scotland.. The united ireland vote starts already froma much higher hardcore base than the snp had britain now is taking about breeching the protcol. this is likely to lead to a trade war damaging the 6 counties. the unionists and britan have proved wholly unable to govern the 6 counties with SF in government in the republic working with the EU and USA i am sure the package of a new ireland that is put infront of the electorate will be very attractive. I would still predict that in 2030 when i expect the vote that unionist hardcore vote will be somewhat over 40% maybe to 45% but a united ireland vote would prevail. your chosen commentators did not show a divergence of opinions that would reflect reality and also in certain cases didnt know the facts on the ground . This was very poor from a normally excellent channel

Dáil is pronounced "doy (like the oy in toy) - ull (like ull in full)" said quickly as one word

1:38 Aontú and People Before Profit also operate on the whole island.

I’m not from NI and am not too focused on its politics, but I am curious: is an independent Northern Ireland itself being talked about? It could re-establish the soft border and allow it to re-integrate into the EU. I assume it’s just not something either side is interested in but I am curious if anyone is talking about it.

The unionists just can't seem to agree on anything after brexit. Let's hope sinn fein can keep it together.

Based and green pilled Loved to see it and be even a small part of it. Now we wait our time has almost come

Oh here we go again

Enlightenment

It's time for Northern Ireland to Unite with Ireland. Let the English deal with their own brexit mess.

Yes. Kick out the Queen. Stand United

Ireland needs to be free

Politics is the only obstacle to a united Ireland.

Viva Los San Patricios!

Another positive result of Brexit.

Of course, not one guest from Dublin

Northern Ireland should be given back to the Irish by law.

I still don't understand why Ireland should be united
