> I've also heard it say that the old school nationalists feel unsupported. The major Irish historically nationalist party is seen to be almost compromised as they are pro immigration and open borders where historically they were more, well .... nationalist That's quite inaccurate. The Nationalist movement in the context of Northern Ireland has fundamental differences from "Nationalist" movements elsewhere in Europe, to the point where the name is somewhat misleading to outsiders. Ideologically they were until recently a left-wing liberation movement. You may dispute the honesty or validity of that, but that was the basis of their politics. These days things are changing, of course, but still, your mention of immigration and borders is, while relevant, not based on a good understanding of the dynamics of the various movements in contemporary Irish politics.
