Executive of the 2nd Northern Ireland Assembly
Following the suspension of the Northern Ireland Assembly in 2002 a new election was called in November 2003 in hope of restoring devolution, the election saw the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and Sinn Féin emerge as the largest parties in the Assembly. The DUP refused to go into government with Sinn Féin meaning that direct rule would stay in place for another 5 years.

gollark: Hmm. Maybe.
gollark: What if there are recursive loops which result in more items? How do you use those right?
gollark: Sometimes there are multiple ways to craft a thing. What do you do? How do you pick the right one?
gollark: Not only is the actual tree-searchy thing moderately computationally expensive, but there are so many weird edge cases.
gollark: Anyway, autocrafting is very æ and difficult.
