May 20 (UPI) -- Sinn Fein, considered the oldest political movement in Ireland, is set to overtake the Democratic Unionist Party in Northern Ireland elections Saturday, a move that could have consequences across Britain.
With the vote, Sinn Fein will become the largest party in both local government and at Stormont -- the Northern Ireland assembly -- for the first time in history after winning at least 139 local council seats, with 12 seats still to be filled, the BBC reported.
