There are two communities in Northern Ireland, those that want Northern Ireland to be part of the United Kingdom and those that want it to be part of a united Ireland. That issue dominates politics in Northern Ireland, instead of normal issues that is the case in other places. When Northern Ireland came into existence in 1922, those that want to stay within the United Kingdom have dominated government and discriminated against the other side of the community. Instead of treating all people equally, they favoured their own side. This continued for most of the time since then, causing many problems and resulting eventually in violence breaking out in the 1960s. This continued until the 1990s, when finally a power sharing government, giving both sides a say in the running of Northern Ireland. That is still the case now, but still the issues between the two communities cause problems between politicians, making the business of day to day politics slower to deal with ordinary issues, such as health, education, employment etc.
