What’s going on in Ireland?
Where’s Paul Doorly when you need him?Sinn Fein have just topped the latest opinion poll, ahead of the traditional two, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael (not that I could ever work out the difference between the two). This doesn’t mean they will form the next government, apparently, but the words cat and pigeons do spring to mind. A Sinn Fein with real influence both north and south of the border can only complicate Brexit negotiations especially as they are keen to push for a border poll - a referendum in the north on whether to reunite Ireland. A decision on that rests with Johnson and he is likely to refuse it (ask the Scots) but politics on these islands is about to get even more complicated. Paul? A view please!
