both are shite but SF get the edge for lulz factor
Daniel Nguyen
Christopher Stalford (DUP) is elected
Isaiah Brooks
Unionists genuinely get more upset about fag marriage than immigration.
Christian Robinson
f
Nationalist here, actually respected him unlike most unionist leaders
Landon Morales
Missed that. Their live count still hasn't updated.
1 seat left so.
Zachary King
If there is no united Ireland there will come a day when we're more Irish than the rest of Ireland
Luis Jones
SF for the bants
Jaxon Myers
Rot in hell you lundy fag.
Ian Nelson
UUP have dignity and i kinda respect them as well but DUP is just an embarrassment
Oliver Allen
Will the UUP disband now? This election was handed to them on a plate by the DUP and they finished fourth and lost 5/6 seats.
Jonathan Harris
When can we go full Cromwell on the Paddys?
Parker Flores
...
Gabriel James
Which group is the Brexit Trump LePen of Ireland?
Juan Fisher
Fuck off you stupid piece of shit
Nathaniel Howard
None. Possibly NP for the Republic.
Brayden Williams
There isn't one.
Joseph Flores
Not SF that is for certain, Irish 'nationalism' is a literal meme.
Blake Fisher
what will ultimately happen if a new election is called? and what'll happen if one isn't?
both parties are filth.
Julian Wilson
DUP are closest I suppose in terms of being really pro brexit but they are shite
Ryder Morales
yeah but will they at least kick out the fucking anglos already?
Joseph Cook
Nah TUV has the lulz factor
Andrew Hughes
So is British nationalism.
Celtic nationalism is a fucking joke, sure.
Jace Adams
lmao, Ireland is in the EU to the end. It couldn't leave even if it wanted to.
James Powell
The same shit happens again with another election, and we get some power sharing agreement, or we get direct rule from Westminster.
Jack Ward
no they still have 10 seats. they will hopefully comeback from this.
Jacob Wood
>brexit is to leave the EU >Trump was to get away from bullshit establishment politics >sinn fein is about leaving UK and uniting the country
you sure the're not? because it sums up the modern situation of the worlds politics at the mo
Jaxson White
Yes, they will kick out all the celts that happen to be protestant and give it to all the blacks and muzzies.
Brody Kelly
Ireland is more a meme than India, both nations which only really exist due to the British forcibly uniting them.
Ryan Peterson
>There will never be right wing nationalists no this island REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Michael Russell
He resigned very prematurely I think. They didn't end up doing as badly as people thought they would and the partnership with the SDLP actually seems to have worked
Chase Russell
bump
Jack Wood
you cant win em all
Henry Morris
Isn't SF pro refugee?
Jaxson Smith
>both nations which only really exist due to the British forcibly uniting them Hm, doubt it.
Caleb Morales
SF the same SF that wants to deep throat the EU? I know papists are stupid but come on paddy.
William Moore
what the fuck are you talkin about they both existed 1000s of years before yours and i do believe the only reason ether of them are divided was because of the English
Camden Evans
Problem is the DUP still want to be the biggest party in the North, basically so SF aren't the biggest, but they're only marginally bigger than them now, and with their share of voters dwinding they're splitting the vote with the UUP. Some in the UUP don't want SF to be the biggest party either, so some of them might jump ship to have one united Unionist party.
Luke Flores
The party nominally is but I imagine most of their voters aren't. They get so many votes from conservative Catholics because they're the biggest Nationalist party, in spite of their leftie pandering
Colton Phillips
Petition of concern has been taken from DUP
Jose Johnson
Táim ag dul a chodladh. Oíche mhaith, a chairde.
Matthew Brooks
>Irish education
Hudson Diaz
Not India, it's been divided plenty of times, Ireland is obviously a nation though.
Chase Lewis
GAY MARRIAGE AND IRISH LANGUAGE FOR ALL
Juan Thomas
Ireland as a single Westphalian political state might be a new invention but the Irish "nation" has existed as far back as the seventh century. Medieval Irish people might not have been politically united but they all followed the same laws, customs, culture, language, dress, and all (usually) recognised the same High King
Hunter Rogers
I hate how true this is. You ever see the numbers for down South? SF voters are the most adamantly against refugees. Like 75% of SF voters down south are against the policies of the party they vote for. It's insane. Now imagine how it is up here.
Grayson Powell
There is a rising middle ground, just look at the success of alliance.DUP's social conservatism will cause younger unionists who are coming of age who are socially liberal gravitate towards the UUP. the UUP has great potential in the future if they capitalize on the need for social liberal British unionism as the tide will turn.
Jayden Green
Previously on Sup Forums......
Eli Rogers
DUP 28 Sinn Féin 27 SDLP 12 UUP 10 Alliance 8 Others 4
One seat left
Daniel Myers
Who were constantly fighting each other, there was no real entity known as Ireland until the English conquered the island
Blake Foster
Very much this. Once unification is achieved people will switch to more conservative parties, or SF will change its position. I have voted SF in the south but don't support all of their leftist policies.
Elijah Nelson
That would be even better for sinn fein
Daniel Thomas
Generation Z is far more conservative than the current youngest voters.
Zachary Myers
That's why I think they might split into two groups, one going to the DUP just so they're the biggest and another going to Alliance who have closer political views, with maybe a few running as Independents.
Lincoln Torres
it'll likely be 29/27
Liam Carter
You're just as deluded as right wing SNP supporters.
Connor Taylor
>anglos have never fought one another
Isaiah Rodriguez
>DUP 28 >Sinn Fein 27
Closest its ever been to a Nationalist win, that would have seemed unthinkable 10 years ago. DUP winning by one vote is nothing to brag about. Plus they have lost their petition of concern
Evan Turner
Wouldn't unification bolster support for Sinn Fein?
I wish they weren't so fucking lefty
Henry Thompson
England was united by the English though, Ireland wasn't united by the Irish.
Lincoln Ramirez
DUP doesn't have any more candidates in that seat. It'll be Greens or UUP.
Ryan Brooks
Generation Z are not socially liberal but more culturally libertarian or new right/anti sjw to be quite honest.
Jackson Long
>there was no real entity known as Ireland There absolutely was, you're grossly misrepresenting historical politics to try and prove a point. You could just as easily say that there was no concept of England until the Normans conquered it, but we both know that's a ridiculous notion.
Annalistically Irish people are only ever described as coming from their independent Kingdoms in passing, there was no separate legal system or system of governance or language or culture or anything. There are hundreds of literary references to Ireland as a culturally and legally unified entity before the English even set foot on the island.
Wyatt Bell
i actually thought it was unthinkable in this election but there ye go crazier has happened but not much
Noah Allen
...
Brandon Rogers
lmao, its as close as you will ever get. Next election ever shrill knucle dragger is going to come out and propel the DUP back. RHI and Foster gave you this.
Dominic Gonzalez
not socially conservative*
Xavier Bailey
>Plus they have lost their petition of concern They can't even get the social views like fag marriage with Jim Allister on 28, so they've lost that for good unless another party joins their vote.
Christian Peterson
Prove it, cuck.
Christian Perez
And the majority of those young people will be from a Catholic/Nationalist background and will put up with the leftist policies of SF in order to achieve unification.
Maybe in the short term. It would depend on how well they can switch their main focus from unification to actual governance. Same can be said of the SNP.
Why?
Ian Rogers
Perhaps, I think the future of the UUP is very dependent on whether the DUP crash and fall in the future.
Samuel Morris
Will the Loyalists chimp out if there is a united Ireland i remember see a video of a DUP guy saying there would be untold violence and loss of Human life or something if theyre abandoned plus look how they reacted over the flag issue.
Brandon Kelly
what was the four high kings of Ireland?
we had a system and it wasn't perfect but it worked
Connor Jones
You truly are deluded. There won't be any right wing opposition to Celtic nationalism until we're all
Nicholas Wood
If I were a unionist now I would be pretty angry at Foster not just stepping down.
I predict she will be gone soon
David Foster
Shit it's time for sleep, typing is going to shit.
Eli Harris
England and Ireland are not the same thing. Ireland was not united before English unification of the Isle.
Landon Harris
>Will the Loyalists chimp out if there is a united Ireland
Yeah for sure, chimping out is basically all they do now
Ian Nelson
know the feel i might just do the same now given the fact its basically over unless some scandal happens with the vote that causes a shock win from a recount
Jose Perry
In a United Ireland, SF would fall far behind FG and FF and be basically irrelevant.
>not socially conservative >When asked to comment on same-sex marriage, transgender rights and cannabis legislation, 59 per cent of Generation Z teenagers said they had conservative views. >Around 85 per cent of Millennials and those in Generation X had a 'quite' or 'very liberal' stance overall. >When asked for their specific view on each topic only the Silent Generation was more conservative that Generation Z. >One in seven - 14% - of the 14 and 15-year-olds took a 'quite conservative' approach, while only two per cent of Millennials and one per cent of Generation X.
Eli Perez
She would be gone already, if SF hadn't made it an issue of pride for the DUP. Also she serves a purpose, a hate sponge in the coming inquiry. They don't want a new leader being tainted by it.
Blake Robinson
Prove that England was formed by Englishmen? You are posting with a union flag, you sir are the Cuck.
Benjamin Scott
How am I a cuck, cuck? Prove it, cuck.
Carter Bailey
But the Nationalists will also come out again in similar numbers, with most of the extra 10% being nationalist as they're very close to the DUP now, so they'll feel they can pass them out, they DUP might have a small boost next time as they'll scare people to vote them so that the DUP are the largest party but long term it's looking like the Nationalists will beat them. This election was the DUP crashing and burning, the UUP had an opportunity handed to them on a plate and did nothing with it, although it could get worse for the DUP, but can the UUP even take advantage?
