How Sinn Fein’s Rise Is Shaking Up Ireland’s Politics
Rooted in its campaign for a united Ireland, Sinn Fein was long an outsider in politics due to its links with the Irish Republican Army. With the conflict in Northern Ireland largely over since a 1998 peace deal, the movement has reinvented itself to appeal to a new generation of voters.
Now, in a historic shift, it has become the biggest party in the north and also leads opinion polls in the Irish Republic to the south. That makes its demand for a referendum on unification harder to ignore.
The party, whose name means “Ourselves Alone,” was created amid the campaign for Irish home rule at the start of the 20th century. After the Catholic south won its independence from Britain in 1921, Sinn Fein split, ultimately creating what are now the three largest parties in the Republic.

What's behind Sinn Fein's victory in Northern Ireland? | Inside Story
The political landscape in Northern Ireland has changed.
For the first time, Sinn Fein, which wants to unite all of Ireland, has won the most seats in regional elections.
That's put an end to a century of dominance by Unionists which support the British Crown and constitution.
Now both sides need to agree to form a new government.
But would they agree?
And what does it mean for the future of the United Kingdom?

Sinn Fein's Michelle O'Neill becomes Northern Ireland’s first nationalist first minister
Stormont has finally been restored and for the first time in 103 years it's not a unionist at the helm. Making history Sinn Fein's Michelle O'Neill, who's become the first nationalist to lead Northern Ireland - a state she wants to abolish. She's pledged to be a "first minister for all" and will share power with Emma Little-Pengelly from the Democratic Unionist Party - who's been nominated deputy first minister.
But two years of political paralysis, with the government effectively on auto-pilot, have left them with a long list of problems to tackle.

Sinn Féin have emerged as Northern Ireland’s largest party at a Westminister level for the first time.
With only the safe DUP seat of East Derry left to declare, Sinn Féin has won seven seats, the DUP four, the SDLP two, while the UUP, TUV and Alliance have all won one each; an independent unionist has also won in North Down.
The historic result comes two years after Sinn Féin won the most seats in the Stormont Assembly.
The republican party comfortably held its two most marginal seats; in Fermanagh and South Tyrone, the Sinn Féin majority soared from 57 votes over the UUP to 4,571.

The modern-day Sinn Fein started to seriously contest elections south of the border in the 1980s under a strategy known as the “Armalite and the Ballot Box.” (Armalite is a gun manufacturer whose weapons were used by Republican paramilitaries against British security forces).
Today, it’s a broadly center-left party that campaigns for higher government spending, better housing and increased taxes on the rich.

Stormont has finally been restored and for the first time in 103 years it's not a unionist at the helm. Making history Sinn Fein's Michelle O'Neill, who's become the first nationalist to lead Northern Ireland - a state she wants to abolish. She's pledged to be a "first minister for all" and will share power with Emma Little-Pengelly from the Democratic Unionist Party - who's been nominated deputy first minister.
But two years of political paralysis, with the government effectively on auto-pilot, have left them with a long list of problems to tackle.

Sinn Féin have emerged as Northern Ireland’s largest party at a Westminister level for the first time.
With only the safe DUP seat of East Derry left to declare, Sinn Féin has won seven seats, the DUP four, the SDLP two, while the UUP, TUV and Alliance have all won one each; an independent unionist has also won in North Down.
The historic result comes two years after Sinn Féin won the most seats in the Stormont Assembly.
The republican party comfortably held its two most marginal seats; in Fermanagh and South Tyrone, the Sinn Féin majority soared from 57 votes over the UUP to 4,571.
In Belfast North, the party’s majority over the DUP increased from 1,943 to 5,612.
There was also a strong swing to the party in Foyle, where SDLP leader Colm Eastwood saw his majority tumble from 17,110 to 4,166.
"You endorsed Sinn Féin candidates who will work hard for you every day and lead positive change for everyone," First Minister Michelle O'Neill tweeted.
"We will continue to work for all, striving to build a brighter and better future for workers and families."
The DUP, which won eight seats in 2019, has lost Lagan Valley to the Alliance, South Antrim to the UUP and - most sensationally of all - Ian Paisley Jnr has been defeated in North Antrim by the TUV.
In Belfast East, Party leader Gavin Robinson held off a strong challenge from the Alliance’s Naomi Long, while former DUP MLA Alex Easton won in North Down as an independent.

https://wn.com/Historic_Result_As_Sinn_Féin_Becomes_North's_Largest_Westminster_Party
Sinn Féin have emerged as Northern Ireland’s largest party at a Westminister level for the first time.
With only the safe DUP seat of East Derry left to declare, Sinn Féin has won seven seats, the DUP four, the SDLP two, while the UUP, TUV and Alliance have all won one each; an independent unionist has also won in North Down.
The historic result comes two years after Sinn Féin won the most seats in the Stormont Assembly.
The republican party comfortably held its two most marginal seats; in Fermanagh and South Tyrone, the Sinn Féin majority soared from 57 votes over the UUP to 4,571.
In Belfast North, the party’s majority over the DUP increased from 1,943 to 5,612.
There was also a strong swing to the party in Foyle, where SDLP leader Colm Eastwood saw his majority tumble from 17,110 to 4,166.
"You endorsed Sinn Féin candidates who will work hard for you every day and lead positive change for everyone," First Minister Michelle O'Neill tweeted.
"We will continue to work for all, striving to build a brighter and better future for workers and families."
The DUP, which won eight seats in 2019, has lost Lagan Valley to the Alliance, South Antrim to the UUP and - most sensationally of all - Ian Paisley Jnr has been defeated in North Antrim by the TUV.
In Belfast East, Party leader Gavin Robinson held off a strong challenge from the Alliance’s Naomi Long, while former DUP MLA Alex Easton won in North Down as an independent.
