Change the title; it's not been called a Parliament since the Fall of Stormont in the 1970s.

Alright, I didn't know what to call it.  Would Stormont elections suffice?

It's the Northern Ireland Assembly so 'Assembly Elections' would be about right.

Isn't Stormont required to have a coalition government between catholic and protestant parties? If so, what does Sinn Fein get out of this?

Are you aware of the recent history of Northern Ireland, the civil war, the peace process and the very complex settlement that eventually ended it or not? What they get out of it is public £££ to give to their constituents so that they get re-elected and maintain their power base and careers, same as everyone else.

I mean check out the party vote maps; Alliance draws its support overwhelmingly from the Protestant side of the great divide.
