Looking at other parties like Labour-Brendan Howlin stepped aside and they picked Alan Kelly to lead; also the Greens are to pick a new leader despite having their best election result in years; Are we to believe that no-one in SF has anything critical to say about Marylou's or indeed their party's performance in the Gov negotiation talks? I imagine there are thousands of their supporters extremly disappionted and disallusioned over what has taken place

One of those parties, is diametrically opposed to aligning in any way with the south. Partition makes the health of the island more risky and volatile. It's not rocket science to figure that out.

The same argument about borders can be made about Spain and France or Belgium and Luxembourg, why don't they unite? No, the question is, knowing what everyone knows about the virus, why did Sinn Fein allow so many countries onto the Northern Ireland green list?
