After the crumple of the power-sharing government, Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire declared a Stormont Assembly election will take place. For the first time in the history of Northern Ireland Unionists lose Stormont majority, Sinn Fein vote surge, Nesbitt bows out. The Democratic Unionist Party won 28 of the 90 seats to barely remain the biggest party in Northern Ireland by just over 1,000 votes. So what do the results mean for the possibility of a power-sharing agreement and the future of Northern Irelandβs relationship with Westminster?
Edit: The Article:Β http://www.justdebate.co.uk/home/article/1562/northern-ireland-assembly-election-a-watershed-in-united-kingdom-relations highlights what did these parties really stand for, and what do the results mean for the possibility of a power-sharing agreement.
For the last decade Conservatives had dominated every swatch of political life in Britain - from the rural local level, to the upper echelons of the House of Commons with a super majority in the Peerage.
Evidence has shown that ever since Labour rebranded themselves as being βNewβ and with their failure to appeal to the modern voter throughout the 2000s, the party became nothing but a lost and fractured mess. PM Blair, in his many foreign policy failures which saw hundreds of our sons returning to the islands in body bags, recognized the coming storm that his administration began to bring about, and formally resigned his post to Brown. In a sort of triumph, the Conservative-opposition saw dozens of its members win seats in parliament following the financial fall-out of the Great Recession. Thus began the generation-long reign of the Tory party. David Cameron would go on to win a greater majority in 2015, but following the unexpected Brexit referendum results the following year, he would eventually resign. Hell broke loose across the isles. May would fail time and time again to push her ultra-Conservative Brexit agenda into effect, forcing her resignation and ultimate political death. Johnson, however much of a blunt demagogue he may have been, finally managed a no-deal Brexit and marked the beginning of what has been dubbed the βNew Britain.β His career ended in tatters, but the Conservatives managed what they had been working towards for the last fifteen years. This should have been the death of the Tory party, or at least a temporary rest from politics following a massive Labour victory - but that wasnβt to be. Ms. Thatcher would near single-handedly save the nation from the crisis.
But at a cost. Her decade-long premiership would see recession, geopolitical turmoil, a free-trade agreement with the Peopleβs Republic, the rise of rogue nuclear states internationally, nationalist sentiments in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and ultimately the disastrous Act of Regionalism. Labour saw no future following a huge majority win in 2025, but things soon changed. Thatcher demonstrated, to the average voter, nothing but a Fascist-esque view. Refusing talks with the Scottish parliament, ignoring the ever-violent sentiments of the Irish, and finally cracking down on Commonwealth immigration. Coupled with a slow recovery from the recession and near economic stagnation would result in a cut-throat electoral campaign.

Investigation reporters, have found potential evidence regarding Spencer Davies potential rigging of the UK elections. Though unconfirmed, the scandal proved to be too close to what may have been the truth, as it was announced that PM Spencer Davies would be resigning from his post as PM.
This was quite shocking given the 583 seats being won by the Liberal Democrats in the previous election. With so many scandals involving the historically major parties in the United Kingdom, confidence is at an all time low, with several new parties expected to rise up, as there is a vacuum in UK politics given the uncertainty in the UK Parliament. Snap elections have been called like in 2017 when PM David Cameron stepped down, forcing a general election to be called.
Party Name | Leader | Party Alignment | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Conservative and Unionist Party (Tories) | Nigel Huddleston | Center-Right | After the significant number of scandals, and the loss of confidence of the UK voters, the Tories have taken a stronger UK first, UK nationalism focus. They believe that if a stronger focus is placed on the UK, instead of the UK on the global stage, then they would be able to win the hearts and minds of the UK people. Strong nationalism is the platform they feel could garner the most votes. Unfortunately, given the past scandals, there is significant uncertainty in how the Tories will perform. |
Labour Party | Stephanie Peacock | Center-left | Similar to the Tories, the Labour Party has also suffered from significant scandals over the past few years, but unlike the Tories, the Labour Party will continue its center-left ideals, while looking to cleanse their party of members with scandals, the Labour Party is hoping to once again push as one of the top 2 parties in the UK. |
Scottish National Party (SNP) | David Linden | Scottish Nationalism, Center-Left | A center-left, Scottish nationalist party, the SNP sees no problems with its ideals, and hopes that with the scandals that have plagued UK politics, they will see a significant increase in seats. The SNP will maintain a position of objecting to an unelected upper house, and therefore will have no seats in the House of Lords. |
Liberal Democrats (Lib Dems) | Dan Schmeising | Center-Left | Reeling from the latest scandal, the Lib Dems will lik |
