Sinn Féin Party win most seats in Northern Ireland Assembly

Yes, it would be. And given the PIRA's command structure still exists in some form it's probably not something the British want to restart.

Is it acceptable in this day and age to influence the UK’s sovereignty issues with threats/implied threats of terrorism?

“Well… as an extra argument on their side, if we don’t agree, they might start bombing us. At least their more extremist elements.”

That’s not really okay right? How good are the UK’s counter terrorist and law enforcement units? And would Ireland cooperate?

That's usually how peace agreements work in situations like this. Everyone stops fighting, comes to the table, agrees to a set of guidelines both sides respect and if anyone starts breaking them the fighting comes back.

That’s kind of how peace generally works. Then hope the peace is good enough to keep everyone checking their own extremist elements from bringing back the war

Sure it is.

Sometimes effective, generally quite shit.

And would Ireland cooperate?

If Northern Ireland wanted to unite? By and large popular south of the border.

How much of a good faith effort is Ireland putting into finding and arresting these potential/past terrorists?

You'd like it, we have dedicated non-jury courts for dealing with members of the IRA, other terrorists, or members of organised crime gangs.

Very entertaining to see someone learn about what the IRA does and go "But that's terrorism".

I welcome moves toward Irish nationalism in Northern Ireland, and concerned by move toward non-sectarianism. The Irish people have long been oppressed under the iron fist of the British, and Ireland itself is historically one of the first victims of imperialism by the British. The blight of 1847 was a ethnic genocide against catholic Irish by protestant England which angers me to think about. It still angers me to know that Ireland is still partly occupied by the British colonizers. I hope someday ALL of Ireland be free.

Northern Ireland is not occupied. A plurality of people here identify as British and want to stay in the UK and polling regarding a united Ireland has shown a consistent plurality and sometimes majority in favour of staying in the UK even if it is closer in the last few years with some polls showing a plurality in favour of unification. Northern Ireland will unify with the republic when the majority of people here want to do so.

There is also barely fuck all British soldiers here too with the majority of personnel being stationed at training facilities and the odd air base or barracks dotted around the country. I can vote for who i want, i was able to go to University, i have far far more options that my family had growing up and NI can peacefully unify with the Republic via democratic mandate when it and the republic show they want to. If the UK tried to stop this they would become a pariah state and piss off a ton of fucking people. Also drop the coloniser remarks, NI is the home of Unionists as much as it is mine, doesnt matter how they originally got here, and they will continue to live here regardless of the status of NI.

IRA and Terrorism?

I think a state of national emergency should be considered. If Northern Ireland is maneuvered by politicians towards secession, wouldn’t this weaken the United Kingdom?

'England', 'Britain', and 'the United Kingdom' are not congruent; it was a Scottish king who was responsible for planting all of those Presbyterian Scots in Ulster (and several members of Russell's cabinet in 1847 were Scots).

I mean, I don't see why the English should get all the credit blame; us Scots have taken plenty of opportunities to oppress the Irish when we've had the inclination to put our minds to it.

oh and, SFP has reformed their platform drastically, compared to the troubles.
so, no UK shouldn't overreact over this.
I'm sure separatists on this thread will be overly depressed with this information, though.
