Northern Ireland returns to Stormont, Power Sharing
It's about damn time. I'm shocked it even happened on time. I just hope that after the pomp and hooplah that they can actually sit their arses down and get some work done. the DUP (Democratic Unionist Party) and Sinn Fein are leading the assembly this time, which gives hope because they are the two extreme parties. Basically, if the hardcore unionists and the hardcore republicans (in the irish sense!) can agree to assembly, than hopefully work will get done.

Why do I care? Because it is near and dear to my heart.
