Oops, what a great day! Did you hear that? There's something new going on in Northern Ireland! On February 3, 2024, Michelle O'Neill was appointed Chief Minister of Northern Ireland. Well, it's the eldest sister of Sinn Féin, who is the spokesperson of nationalism!
I heard that she has a "background" where her family has a leg with the IRA! Her father had been imprisoned for mixing with the IRA; Uncle also sponsored the IRA; Even her two cousins were on their way to join the IRA. Uh-huh, it can be described as a family inheritance, and the breath of affection has been passed on for generations!
Well, people are standing on the high ground of nationalism, and they want Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to hold hands and reunite as a happy family. You say that she has this confidence, she must have some hole cards in her hand, otherwise how dare she so proudly pull the big ship of Northern Ireland in the direction of the Republic?
Let's talk about the major event of this referendum to leave the UK. Oh, that's a big show! Northern Ireland is said to have struggled since its breakup with Britain in 1921. On one side are the pro-British "Unionists" and on the other side the Irish nationalist "Republicans", each with its own views and singing its own tune. At first glance, you think these two families are going to fight!
But the foreigner's agreement is really good at playing, and he actually made a "Belfast Agreement", so that these two inseparable factions can live together. No, since the signing of this agreement in 1998, the political situation in Northern Ireland has not been so strong, and it has calmed down a lot.
But there's been a bit of a little bit of a move lately, you know? As soon as Britain waved the Brexit stick to the Atlantic, the result was that the border issue between Northern Ireland and Ireland became a piece of, and no one wanted to expose it! Oh, it's all about you, it's just you talking to me, or you're meeting back and forth to discuss how to solve this mess.
And I heard that after O'Neill was elected chief minister, this referendum to leave the UK will be even more violent! However, people say that in the next ten years, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland will have a "close contact" and get back together. This is no joke, people are serious!
However, when it comes to the real Brexit, it is not a trivial matter. First of all, there must be a big public opinion. Well, it will take the resonance of all Northern Irish people in order to unanimously agree to leave the UK. It's not that easy, you say, right?
Besides, you have to look at the economy! After all, without the United Kingdom, what impact will Northern Ireland's economy have to have, this has to be calculated. People have to maintain their living standards, and they can't let their small lives be too hard, otherwise who wants to leave the UK with you?
Heck, looking at it this way, it will take some trouble for Northern Ireland to really leave the UK. Although O'Neill's coming to power has contributed a bit to this big plan, if you want to really leave the UK, you have to go through a lot of twists and turns! Hehe, it seems that the story of Northern Ireland has just begun!
