SEPARATIONISTS RUN ALONE IN WALES AND SCOTLAND
In Wales and Scotland, pro-secession parties are in power alone, although they do not have a majority. In Northern Ireland, where there is no clear separatist advantage in the parliament, the "power sharing" model is applied.
In Northern Ireland, where the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister are elected from different parties, both names must have equal power. In Northern Ireland, separatist O'Neill is sitting in the Regional Prime Minister's seat, and pro-British Emma Little-Pengelly is sitting in the Deputy Prime Minister's seat.
British Prime Minister Burnham argues that the majority of people in Northern Ireland want to stay in the United Kingdom.
WHAT HAPPENED?
British Prime Minister Burnham had previously said that he would not support the Northern Ireland and Scottish independence referendums and that they would not be in accordance with the law.
US President Donald Trump, who met with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin yesterday, stated that he wanted the unification of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and that it would be great.
