You mean Northern Ireland Jamarl,..because The Republic of Ireland (the big part;) is already EU soil and will remain so, it's that small exclave untop that's the part known as Northern Ireland and that's still part of the UK (the Republic of Ireland is a sovereign independent nation not part of the UK but the EU).
The DUP is a religious rightwing party from Northern Ireland,...not the Republic of Ireland (the 95% land mass of Ireland,...part of the EU), just an FYI because I've noticed you've got trouble separating the two m8 hahaha 😂.
Anyway, thumb's up 👍 on the vid,....but study the difference between Ireland (Republic of Ireland, EU),...Northern Ireland (UK), the good Friday agreement, bloody Sunday DUP, Ulster Unionist, Loyalist, Black&Tan's, IRA, etc a bit closer for more context and to avoid confusion.

Labour has had a hard time in Europe since the 80s.
In the mid 70s all Labour parties got an enormous influx of young recently graduated "middle/centrist politicians" joining the rank and file including in British Labour, this lead to more right of the middle political hopefuls joining all of European Labour parties because the room for that was created by these "middle/centrist" in those parties, a huge power vacuum was there to just step into across the board.
The effect was immediately palpable in the early 80s as a result, and OG left Labour party members got squeezed out or completely silenced by the rest of the now firmly entrenched usurpers.
Where one's you needed street credibility (think of union leaders/board members, human rights lawyers, social worker/org members, etc) to even be considered for any serious post in any European Labour party, the profile for candidates quickly shifted after the mid to late 70s and early 80s to candidates born into an Elite environment that attended Elite schools and Uni's.
This supposed "New Labour" had the tendency to negotiate behind closed doors were their predecessors preferred the street's and the working man/woman could see what they were voting for and who these people were on a personal level.
But all this got even worse when these "New Labour" members started to facilitate the more right of the middle political parties in the 80s, think of Margaret Thatcher, John Major, etc.
They must have got a taste for it themselves because in the middle to late 90's Labour got more rightwing itself,....Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and in my country it was Wim Kock⬅and yes, he was really a rightwing dick too.
Soon they even started to colluded with the likes of George Bush Sr and Jr in their quest to war,....Tony Blair's assurance that "yes there are WMD's in Iraq because Bush told me so;)" went unchallenged in the now poisoned well that was the British political landscape at that time.
Jeremy Corbyn is an OG left Labour member that got his character assassinated by his "own" party members during a conference in the late 70s,...."the night of the long knifes" so to speak,....the forum was crowded by Labour usurpers filling in for Brutus,...seems that Jeremy was wearing a vest that day, but it got close and even until the present day he needs to be constantly aware he's not going to get stabbed in his own house.
He's seen off beter challengers and many attempts on his political live have been made but he's come out untop and swinging an Axe, hope he doesn't loose himself in the process because that what i just described must have left a mark somewhere.
