Despite certain quarters trying their best to stoke tensions over the Protocol it's been largely very calm. The big anti-protocol protests intended to ignite unionist fury/turnout have been pretty poorly attended and the DUP are flailing under Donaldson's lacklustre leadership and in-party squabbling. That being said I would imagine they will do slightly better than what the polls are suggesting yet still shy of Sinn Fein. They've been non-committal about sharing power with a SF first minister but that's likely just posturing to stave off the TUV. Who knows how it may play out after the election but I don't get the impression that however messy it gets at Stormont that it will result in any sort of significant trouble on the streets, marching and bonfires are a different story though.
