Wonder how a Con/Lib coalition will work. Or not. Hope that NI's public spending doesn't suffer too badly. Most interesting things in NI were Belfast East (goodbye, Robinson) and Fermanagh South Tyrone (Four votes. Four!)
He was probably scared of the IRA starting to bomb London again. NI can tear itself apart, but we can't have bombs on the mainland. Although frankly blowing up Canary Wharf again could hardly have made more of a mess of the economy than they managed all their little selves.
See, before Omagh, yes. After that, Adams couldn't afford to risk even looking like they might and everyone knew it. London and Dublin had the best chance they ever had for forcing civil discourse on this place and they dropped the ball mightily.
