  2. I mean the polls have been around 30-40 for a while now and this is before a proper discussion has even come about.

    And I truelly believe the union will become more unstable rather than more. As the unquestionable hard line unionism just slowly passes of old age.

    Its more of a matter of when and how rather than a if.

  3. >In a series of questions for The Sunday Times the Belfast polling company asked voters if they would support a united Ireland today or at some point in the future: 41 per cent said if there was a poll now they would vote “yes”, but a further 10 per cent said they “would or may” vote yes if a poll was held in 15 to 20 years’ time.

  4. I’d vote no right now. But I’m open to changing. I don’t think it’d work now. We need to be farther from the troubles time wise.

  5. FFG are really fucking it up. UK is falling to shit. All they need to do is run a good, normal country to convince nationalists to vote for a UI.

  6. In 2019 a poll had 51% in favour of UI. At the time the UK were faffing about on Brexit, SF had collapsed the NI assembly due to cash for ash fuckup and we’d just voted in favour of gay marriage and abortion while they were still illegal in NI. All those things had moderate unionists seriously considering a UI.

    Since then SF have had huge success in our GE. The Tory’s sorted the abortion issue in NI, NI got a sweet deal out of Brexit (best of both worlds). All of these things have put moderate unionists off the idea of a UI.
