Abstract
Politics
in the
North
of
Ireland
deserves
a
paper
all
its
own
. To
attempt
to
condense
the
political
situation
in the
North
in a
few
short
chapters
is
to
try
and
distill
the
essentials
. In
such
a
location
,
politics
becomes
more
than an
argument
, or a
different
point
of
view
on how
rules
are
implemented
.
Politics
is
what
one
becomes
born
into; the
“us”
and
“them”
mentality
roots
itself
at
birth
and
becomes
almost
impossible
to
break
from.
Everything
in
politics
has an
historical
understanding
, the
interpretation
of
which
complicates
the
discussion
. The
uniqueness
of a
place
like
Northern
Ireland
really
comes
to the
fore
when
dealing
with the
implications
that
such
historical
political
concerns
has for the
nation’s
writers
.
Tribal
bonds
remain
strong
and
dictate
reactions
to
writings
and
opinions
; the
reader
, the
audience
, are
already
endowed
with a
unique
sense
of
preconceived
ideas
,
notions
,
assumptions
.
Thus
, for the
writer
,
things
such
as
place
names
and their
references
and
spellings
take
on a
specific
meaning
and
can
either
enhance
or
interfere
with
intended
thematic
concerns
.
Furthermore
,
when
turning
to
specific
events
or
historical
moments
, the
writer
leaves
himself
open
to
criticism
–
why
that
event
?
Why
not the
parallel
event
of
hundreds
of
years
earlier
?
Why
isn’t
history
being
given
equal
discussion
and
attention
as
current
day
? What
political
message
is
being
espoused
? In
such
a
place
was
Seamus
Heaney
attempting
to
write
.
