One positive I can take from this election is that both SF and the DUP lost a significant share of votes.
I imagine the prospect of reunification could undo that very quickly though.
As someone who lives in the south, and works in the north, I'd like a bit of stability!

Exactly so ROI needs to be very very gentle, lay the groundwork but also let the process take its time.
I am not exactly happy about all this, there is still so much poverty and problems, we didn't need Brexit in the mix.
Hopefully the worst for you will the the good old traffic jams/busy crossborder train service :D

ROI wants the unionist to be on board and talk to them, but they don't want to talk with them.
And with them I mean the hardliners, many people don't care so much.
The areas where there is the most deprivation and poverty have also been let down by the DUP and I don't know how you can even unpick that...
SF also lost a voting share, a lot of people have had enough of this crap. If ROI comes up with an attractive package, it may happen, but they also get hit by Brexit.
