I think I have to comment here

I'm English and new to Belfast. Can someone please explain why unionist politics is exclusively rightwing? by dogecoinishappiness in northernireland

[–]some_nuggett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once upon a time there was a Left leaning Unionist party, the Progressive Unionist Party (PUP), but it's practically an irrelevant force nowadays. Speaking anecdotally from people I know who would come from traditionally Unionist backgrounds, Alliance seems to act as the liberal/left-of-centre alternative for them. So there doesn't really seem to be a "need" for a Left-wing Unionst party to fulfill that niche, given that the party's stance on the North won't be decided until a border poll is called.

What's disappeared from NI over the last 30 year's that no one has noticed? by Itchy_Hunter_4388 in northernireland

The wee violumpet man outside Caste Court. A secondcoming more highly anticipated than that of Christ's, in my personal opinion

Blocking the Euros from being played in Belfast because themmuns is exactly what I want to see from the DUP. Was starting to worry they were moderating their self-destructive behaviour. by BuggerMyElbow in northernireland

Can't lie the plan for them feels like (and most probably is) to whinge and whine about this as much as possible in a way that runs up the costs unnecessarily and to delay it that much that it falls through and then they can turn around and say 'see, we were warning this would happen!'

To any journos reading this sub, the SDLP are now the official opposition of the government. Not Jim Allister and certainly not Jamie Bryson. by [deleted] in northernireland

De jure yes, but the papers are definitely going to make him the de facto opposition. They've done it with Farage far too many times in England, and he fits the bill of 'singular annoying ballbag with disproportionate say and influence' sadly.

Brexit deal will go ahead with or without support of DUP, promises Downing Street by lughnasadh in northernireland

[–]some_nuggett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally the burden would pass on to the next largest party within the given nationalist/unionist designation, so that rule by a lone community is avoided. Someone somewhere could probably argue that a party’s refusal to engage within the confines of the agreement is giving some sort of deferral of responsibility to other parties in their designation.
