let's have a look at belfast south, just about coming in the last ten minutes.verse seat. you had five different parties actually returned in the last election. that is unusual because northern ireland is quite a segmented place and tends to be very nationalist or unionist. have a look at this. alliance have come first. this was the ub before in terms of first preference. you are seeing the nonaligned mac alliance party coming first. this all matters in terms of sinn fein coming first because this means they will be able to nominate a first minister if stormont is to sit. the dop are making it clear as far as they are concerned, this isn't going to happen. this is the consequent of brexit. northern ireland didn't vote for brexit but the consequences of continuing to unfold across britain and the uk and northern ireland and the island of ireland itself. the vexed issue of the protocol representing that deeply unstable element now in northern ireland politics, ricochet into these politics. we don't know what this historic result will mean for the future of the pea

belfast. and with me now from sinn fein i have the candidate who has been elected in the south belfast constituencyute to the late dup representative for the area. ed edwin poots had paid tribute before that as well and you did as well and i thought it was a very human moment, irrespective of political traditions, you were reaching out there. i suppose a lot of people watching this and looking on will say, why can�*t politicians in northern ireland do more of this and what is it going to take to get and what is it going to take to get a functioning executive back up and running? a functioning executive back up and runnina ? , ., , a functioning executive back up and runnina ? , .,, ., , running? christopher and i grew up in belfast and _ running? christopher and i grew up in belfast and working _ running? christopher and i grew up in belfast and working class - in belfast and working class communities and there are commonalities we shared. often i think that is the politics people don�*t always see what the media don�*t always see what the media don�*t always see what the media don�*t always shine
