Sinn Féin retained all 7 of its seats in the 2024 UK election, becoming the largest Northern Irish party in UK parliament, the Northern Ireland Assembly, and local government. Despite not taking Westminster seats due to refusing to swear an oath to the crown, this result bolsters Irish nationalism and raises hopes for a potential border poll on Northern Ireland reunification by the 2030s. Unionist bloc vote remains larger, but Sinn Féin increased majorities in all 7 constituencies.
