Alliance deserves to take Deputy First Minister from DUP
Unfortunately it can never happen in the current system. Since they aren't designated as nationalist or unionist
Yes, it’s clear the have what it takes. As the other comment says, the system currently would not allow it. In fairness, although they do aim for reform in that regard, Alliance are happy enough to work within the current system’s perimeters but are understandably very angry that they’re not even allowed to do that because of DUP theatrics. If there was another vote today, DUP would lose even more seats. Their referencing the protocol is nonsense, it’s just a self serving move to spite SF. If they really cared about the protocol (which by all measures is good for the NI economy) they would take their seats and engage in dialogue about it with the other parties.
I’ve lived in London and engaged in the social aspects of political circles. DUP are fooling themselves with the idea that they’re viewed as anything other than provincial Irish troublemakers by the establishment.
@@willslingwood sure the english view everyone as troublemakers thats were the origins of the problems began, englands plan to round up all the trouble makers on one island (scotch and irish)
Well they gained ira sinn fein votes
DUP lost and instead of taking it like a man they're throwing their toys out of the pram and refusing to participate. They'll take their huge salaries, though.
Grow up
@@Team-fabulous They need to grow up!
They made clear democratic vote for brexit must be be actioned first before nows democracy vote.. Stands to logic.
I am confused teh (all the party dup too) signed the protocol so why they are complaining now is not logical.
I will add that there agreement that the sinners brought it down for 3 years is not really valid because they done it on the basis that dup would not make Arlene that a step back while the rhi was investigated. In short it was a reaction to something they saw as wrong and needed dealing with.
This is something they voted for and signed into law
Just very confused
@@joprocter4573 Brexit has been and gone, people need to stop whinging about it. They took their gamble with a serial liar and lost.
No work no pay..
Send the DUP home with no pay until they grow up and accept the will of the people.
They're not likely to ever start doing that.

Threat of violence? Sinn Fein are the party with a military wing mate. By the way. I'm not a DUP voter.
No they don’t stop it
Alliance party has not para….and they are saying DUP are the problem as well.
She made an excellent point….DUP came for their salaries. Not the people.

Did I understand correctly?
Members of the D.U.P were happy to take their pay, and then take their ball in and bugger off home! Really! Showing their TRUE colours.
Give Ireland back to Ireland and stop British colonialism
Load of rubbish they not indegious ppl of Ireland in 1st place
Ever heard of self determination
I hope for a future with a united Ireland, an independent Scotland, and an independent Wales. Let the British Empire die in the hands of the English.
SF/Alliance/SDLP should form a shadow parliament and name their own First and Second Ministers to produce policies for Northern Ireland to send to Boris in London and shame Boris into either passing their suggestions or forcing DUP into government in NI.
So just ignore the Unionist side of Northern Ireland 🤷♂️ not like there was 40 years of killings over the same thing on the flip 🤦♂️
@@shaggyI987 if they refuse to follow the Democratic process they ageed to then yes.
Hold another election if the DUP are elected again in same position then their mandate stands. If ok the other hand people ignore their current voter numbers that is not democracy which will lead to an entire side of NI feeling even more ignored and will lead to trouble.
Hahaha. Yeah, I'm sure he'll be terrified at the thought of tarnishing his immaculate reputation.
Maybe even include UUP as well in the alliance?
Really well spoken
Well said, Naomi, the people of NI deserve better than this.
Well said!!!!! A bunch of fifth columnists who will destroy Northern Ireland from the inside.
Open your eyes..
The hole of Great Britain deserve better than this. We wont get it.
She's a liar & a hypocrite.. She had no problem whatsoever refusing to nominate for the assembly when SF-IRA Pulled down Stormont for 3 Years.. She's also a Liar that The DUP are refusing to work because they won't work under nationalists..

@@enriqueshockwave8869 Thanks to the good Friday agreement the British now want to rip apart
@@FOLIPE nah the british are incredibly weak. I'd be surprised if the whole country doesn't fall apart in the next decade.
Very different scenario today. For many years after Partition the Irish Republic hoped to destroy Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is the smaller of the two "Irelands". Those days are long gone but there is still a fear amongst the Unionist ( Irish Protestant) community that they will suffer political and financial harm if the two countries unite. Currently the UK gives a lot of financial assistant to Northern Ireland and N.I. may struggle if this stops. HopefulIy the healthy economies of both countries will stop this being a problem. In the last couple of years there has an amazing amount of trade between the two countries. I believe that the two Irelands will unite as a MERGER between equals not as a larger country overwhelming a smaller one and that all Irish cultural indentities will thrive. Eirinn go Bragh!
Naomi Long is right.
Yes she did good picking up ira sinn fein vote. Years ago if she and colm sdlp didn't share all with ira sinn fein there would be 3/4main partys

3yrs ira sinn fein didn't go to work
@Craig Wilson and what are the benefits of having the dup in westminster ??? they are only there for the backhanders and to get shafted by boris on a regular basis, that's where the real irony lives. And as soon as they get off the 1st class plane to London they become a 'thick mick' too...ffs
An excellent, inspiring speech.
Westminster manages NI as if it were a colony. Oh, it is isn't it.
Aliance are a very good political party. I wish them many many gains in N. I in the future.
Honestly at this point they should just get rid of the power sharing rule. Let SF, Alliance and the SDLP form a coalition government with their collective, pro-protocol/anti-brexit, majority and get on with the work of governing.
Great idea, but I believe that their is no way to do that without violating the GFA.
General Grievous. Totally. Amend whatever needs to be amended and let the parties who have shown up to work, form a coalition government without the dup.
@@helenhunter4540 interesting amend what needs to be ammended so change the law to remove democratic processes to suit one side of a toxic divide wonder how that will inevitably turn into another 40 years of discrimination, growth in civil unrest, bombs and murders. Those who choose to forget their past will be forced to relive it.
Such a flippant attitude towards such an important and hard-won peace agreement.
@@gavinhillick isn't demanding the unilateral scrapping of the protocol, which would then necessitate a (treaty breaking) hard border on the island of Ireland, also flippant disregard for the same? Protocol exists, in essence, to defend the GFA (and also happens to be doubly useful as it softens the blow of a Brexit a majority in the North oppose). DUP determination to destroy against, against the expressed will of the electorate, has in my view made amendment/update of the agreement, in one form or another, necessary. Either way its being broken, it's just a matter of whether that breech favors democracy (the anti-brexit majority) or the system being held ransom by an overly belligerent political minority (the DUP). I'd obviously prefer the former... seems a more graceful conclusion.
Alliance will be the biggest party in NI within 10 yrs under the stewardship of this lady, certainly 2nd.
Dup will fall to 3rd if we are to look at the trajectory .
Its game over for the Duped imo.
Don't be fooled by trajectories. Alliance may continue to grow, but the DUP will continue to hoover up the support of the band parade community. That's the elephant in the room in this whole fiasco. It's the malcontents in twenty or thirty housing estates who object to any change in the status quo who are pulling the DUP's strings. They're the same folk who turned the electricity off in the 1970s when they didn't get their way.

I’m pretty sure 90% of Ireland WANTS to be in the EU. Because why wouldn’t they? In the 1970s, Ireland was an absolute hellhole. Nearly 1000 years of being ransacked and genocided by the brits, they had WW1, a war of independence against UK, a civil war etc they were in absolute poverty and disarray. But thanks to the EU, Ireland is now wealthier than the UK.. lol.
This comment section is hilarious. All the vile protestants flocking here with hate filled comments
Your a bit of a bigot with that comment not all unionists are protestants.
The English never left a colony peacefully or without breaking agreement. Why shld NI be different … time to rearm “Winter is coming”.
Name countries
The English?!
We don’t even have our own parliament!!
Australia became an independant nation within the British Empire (now British Commonwealth) by voting for it. No revolution, just sensible voting. The former British Empire as been quietly turning all their former colonies into independant nations since 1945.
Shame in the DUP shame on the Tory Party 😔☝️
Spanish government should unilaterally ditch the Treaty of Utrecht
Ireland was partitioned so as to ensure a permanent Unionist majority in the North. That's why it took so long for a Nationalist party to win. They were never supposed to. Strange how British media always fail to mention this.
To be fair, the BBC did mention this recently
BS. When NI separated it wasn't to create a majority, it was to give Protestants a place they should have been safe from the Irish Nationalists.
@@TheTraveller20081 It was lmao it was explicitly created to be a unionist-majority territory.
@@FOLIPE exactly, somewhere they wouldn't be dominated by Irish Nationalists. And the GFA specifically requires power-sharing, i.e. Unionists and Nationalists in the Assembly together.

Naomi Long… what a leader. Brilliant Rhetoric; Fantastic speaker and sticks true to her values. This is the leadership we need in the north of Ireland… Sinn Fein & DUP bicker between themselves. It will never work. We need a more progressive brand of politics here!
Alliance is neither Unionist nor Republican, that is why it doesn't get tangled up in old bitterness from past and looks to a fresh Northern Ireland
Hypocrite. The AP sat out of stormont for 3 years along with their pals in Sf and the SDLP. Her memory must be short.

Give forced power-sharing a decent burial. The parties scoff at the DUP while claiming that they want to work together. Laughable. It's dysfunctional and anti-democratic to demand that parties that despise each other must work together.
It has worked in the past.
The other parties don't want it because the truth is the unionist voting block is the biggest.
The DUP took a salary and did nothing to earn it? That's the DUP all over, it cost Theresa May and the rest of the UK a Billion last time.
Yeah. We can go back to the Northern Ireland before the GFA where simple majority rule ensured everyone's civil rights. When was that again?

Fair play..
Didn't SF do the exact same thing for 3 years when they didn't get their way?
ssshhhhh Alliance dont want to talk about that
Of course they did, but SF see everything through green tinted specs. I saw Connor Murphy in an interview yesterday spouting about the DUP and supporting the protocol. The interviewer asked how he would have reacted if the EU border had been placed on the Irish border. Murphy paused then evaded the question.

So are we saying the DUP should take their seats and just accept the Protocol as it is?
