[HIGHLIGHTS] Northern Ireland elects head of government who seeks reunification with Ireland

Northern Ireland elects head of government who seeks reunification with Ireland. Michelle O'Neill has been elected head of the regional government in Belfast.

Your party opposes remaining in the UK. However, she does not rule alone. She has to govern together with the largest Protestant party, the DUP, which advocates political union with Great Britain. The DUP has refused to participate in a new government as required - in protest against special Brexit rules for Northern Ireland. She argued that the agreement reached with the EU endangers the union of Northern Ireland and Great British.
