Normally I wouldn't do something like this, but I noticed a number of political threads hanging about, and I need somewhere to yell about this!
As far as I am aware, for the first time, Northern Ireland is about to have a 50/50 split between Unionists and Nationalists with only 2 seats left to declare.

The DUP were absolutely destroyed after losing a colossal amount of money on a renewable heating scandal and trying to shift the blame.
The split has also axed the Petition of Concern, which removes their ability to veto things they don't like (such as gay marriage).
The future is going to be quite interesting, depending on how the new executive behave, we could go to Direct Rule under Britain, which would remove Local Government altogether. Which may or may not kickstart Troubles 2.0.
Thankfully, I don't think anyone wants that anymore.
And for those who have no idea what I'm talking about, just watch this.
Northern Irish politics are an absolute joke.
