In fact, therefore, Vice President Michelle O’Neill, who ran as the top candidate, should take over as Prime Minister.

The Federal Democratic Party is demanding that London unilaterally withdraw from the agreement with Brussels on the special status of Northern Ireland’s exit from the European Union.
