Question

why is there different opinions in northen ireland today on how they should be goverened?

Answer 1

Loyalist (usually Protestant background) - want it to remain part of UK

Nationalists (usually Catholic background) - want it to be part of Ireland.

That's the two main differing opinions in a nutshell. They've never changed. They never will.

(Oh, yeah Tiocfaidh Ar La and the rest of it :))

Answer 2

there aren't. there's a northern irish parliament with an elected body of representatives.
