and what are we expecting to see across northern ireland today ? northern ireland today?f course. this takes place in liverpool as well today. southport i believe is the town that's hosting and it's very, very important actually to anybody that studies politics or history in great britain because of course this was the start of our modern day government . when king william government. when king william arrived here, he he, battled with king james and james, of course, was the cousin of louis and louis was trying to set himself up as the emperor of europe and that that really was when he arrived in britain, he arrived with the bill of rights in his hand for civil liberties and religious freedoms. in his hand for civil liberties and religious freedoms . and that and religious freedoms. and that played out right through to the 1776 american war of independence. because of course, after the death of william, then we had, the rights that the likes of the presbyterians and covenanters were given were taken away from them. once more. and they left these shores and headed to amer

which was generally the center of political influence of supporters of the preservation of northern irelande treasure of great britain, it lost its position, was a dramatic moment in the night voting, even in the morning, when it became clear that one of the representatives of the flight... the paisley dynasty, which created this democratic joanist party, lost his seat in the british parliament, which he and his relatives have been elected there for 50 years, people with the surname paisley , and now he has lost his seat, this is a real political earthquake in northern ireland, but what does this mean? this means that there is an opportunity for more harmonious cooperation between er... catholics and protestants, because these forces, let's say, they are losing little by little ionist influence, and the most serious party now in northern ireland is the sinn fein party, they do not sit in the british parliament, this is also a very interesting thing, they have now received seven mandates, which will not be implemented, because they believe that the british parliament is foreign for the irish

"when there will be more ethnic irish, catholics in the north ireland, there will most likely be neweferendums, and this territory will join the republic of ireland, this is an almost inevitable process, and scotland can now be said to have digested this situation with brexit. it is often said in british politics that indecision is also one of the reasons why rishi sunak's party lost. e.e. the problem of migration, which is quite acute, including in great britain. what do you think these policies will look like under labour? softer. labor is always much more had a calmer attitude towards migration than the conservatives. and the conservatives by and large made the fight against migration the slogan of their anti-european policy, just like nigel farage, by the way. and then it turned out that they are not able to solve this problem, and one more thing turned out that the exit of great britain from the european union does not solve the migration problems, this is what was said before this exit, that you will not get rid of anything, only make the situation worse , well, i think that no
