But, actually, this May’s election to Stormont may well mark a significant change in this particular corner of the UK. Which in turn will prompt questions for the rest of it (and for Ireland too, come to that). Because the polls suggest that Sinn Fein is on course to emerge as the largest party. Even so, if a Sinn Fein First Minister does come to pass, what, you have to wonder, will that do the Unionist psyche? Jeffrey Donaldson’s party collapsed Stormont in February over the issue of the Protocol and now look like losing its position as the biggest party in the new Parliament.
