In 2021, Westminster past the Elections Act 2021, which removed Blue Badges from the list of acceptable voting ID. But the Act has led to some disabled people being disadvantaged during elections.

In Part 1 of my investigation into this story, I will outline what my experience trying to vote in the 5th of May Assembly Election, as well as what I’ve discovered about the case as well.

Also, what are my views on the Anlan Neck Massager?

Northern Ireland has a habit of voting for Parties that stand for Green and Orange issues, which has worked for every Party, especially the DUP and Sinn Féin. There’s been signs that might be changing, however, as both Parties lost votes after the 2019 General Election, but still, there’s signs that this might still be the way the public will vote.

You could also say that the Northern Ireland Protocol is also getting mixed into orange politics, as one Unionist Party say they’re interested in dealing with the Protocol through negotiations, while the others think it’s better to collapse the government to sort it.

But what are the other big issues that people will be voting for in the Northern Ireland Assembly Election? In this blog, I’m going to lie out the big issues people will be voting for tomorrow.

There’s been a lot of terms used in my last lot of videos that might be hard to understand for anyone not from Northern Ireland, so in this video, I’m going to explain what each of them mean.

Northern Ireland has other political parties as well — who normally don't get that large of a percentage when it comes to the vote — but that could all change this year, with all of the politics that could make or break this election.

This is a long video, so each part is broken into chapters, depending on which party you want to hear about.

The Alliance Party of Northern Ireland is the 5th biggest party in the Northern Ireland Executive, and have gained a large percentage of votes in the other elections held over recent years. Having been founded in April 1970 by people who had previously been part of the New Ulster Movement, they were set up as a group to promote moderate and non-sectarian policies, which they do technically still stand by today — although it has been debated in recent years that they’ve started backing more Nationalist and Republican issues over Unionist and Loyalist ones.

This has convinced people who would describe themselves as Small Unionists, Small Nationalists and Neither into giving them their vote in recent years — but this might change given that one Unionist party has finally recovered from their 17 year concussion and fancies stealing back some of their lost voters.

As of April 2022, the Alliance Party is led by Naomi Long — the ‘Ginga Ninja’. But what are their main policies, and what would you be voting for if you vote for them on the 5th of May?

The Ulster Unionist Party (better known to the common folk as the UUP) are the second biggest Northern Irish Unionist Party, though they were the biggest dating from the formation of Northern Ireland in 1921 until the '70s when direct rule was ordered, but they still stayed influential until 2005 when they lost the title of 'Biggest Unionist Party' to the DUP.

As of April 2022, the UUP is currently led by Doug Beattie, who has changed their entire manifesto to being a lot more moderate, and away from their backwards-thinking traditional views, which meant they were seen as the 'Little DUP'.

But what are their beliefs, and what would you be voting for if you vote UUP on the 5th of May? In today's video, I will make this as easy to understand as possible.

The SDLP is the second biggest Nationalist party in Northern Ireland, and were one of the two main parties who helped compromise The Good Friday Agreement.

In the current day, they are led by Colum Eastwood.

But what are the important things you need to know before the election on the 5th of May? In this podcast, I will explain all of their key beliefs in a way that is easy to understand.

The Grand Opera House in Belfast has been one of Northern Ireland's most recognisable theatres since it opened in 1895, and has been a family favourite venue for generations since, its Christmas Pantomime being popular each year. I did a review on how accessible it was back in October, at which time I promised a follow up. Here's the part 2 I came up with after going on a private tour slightly before Christmas.
