QRD on Stormont situation:>Stormont, Northern Ireland's devolved Assembly, has collapsed numerous times since it was created by the Good Friday Agreement.>Typically, it collapses because either Unionism's largest party (DUP) or Nationalism's largest party (Sinn Féin) utterly oppose somethingExamples include Sinn Féin collapsing it over DUP corruption with the RHI Scandal, or Unionist parties collapsing it over allegations that Sinn Féin were leaking information to the IRA. Each time Stormont has collapsed, Unionism has been hurt the hardest; it has now reached a point where Nationalist and non-Unionist parties have declared that>"if Stormont goes down, it is never going back up."Stormont has been running since 2024; the previous collapse was from 2022 until then. However, Israel are here to fix that;>Every major Unionist Party (DUP, UUP, TUV) get paid by Israel to fly to Tel-Aviv for a "fact finding" mission>One of them, Paul Givan, is the education minister>and he is there in his capacity as education minister>meaning the Department for Education are now working with IsraelThis has pissed every non-unionist off, and now they have filed a motion of no confidence in Paul Givan.Every Unionist party has strongly reaffirmed their support for the trip to Israel. This is a red line moment; if the no confidence vote goes ahead, it could be curtains for Stormont-and the Good Friday Agreement.>Sinn Féin have backed the motion of no confidence, meaning its extremely likely to succeed
