Unification is this party’s number 1 top priority. Not housing, health or anything else.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is telling themselves what they want to hear.
If a referendum is successful in the North, does that mean we also have a referendum? Or is it just assumed that the government of the day has a mandate?
I wonder if it’s a no how will that change politics here.
It’s always 10 years away… forever.
If there is a referendum in the next 10 years it wont pass, they just want one so they can do what the SNP have done with Scotland and have it occupy the political landscape above everything else.
What happens to structures in the North on reunification (if it happens)?
The NHS for example, does it become integrated somehow, does free healthcare stop at the old border?
Another question in the National Anthem, what does a United Ireland adopt? Would a new anthem be created a la South Africa, with both English and Irish verses? I doubt that would go down well.
And as an avid Gaeilgeoir, I wouldn’t be all that happy of the national anthem didn’t include some Gaeilge, even as a tokenism.
I want a United Ireland but I think pushing for a referendum any time soon is a bad idea because the s polling suggests it won’t come close to passing and if it doesn’t pass it gives the DUP and their ilk ammunition for the rest of the century to say “we had a referendum, the population said no. Are you just going to keep asking them until you get the answer you want?”
It would be an own goal, in my opinion.
Well a referendum with a No result would be a disaster so I hope she has a plan to convince more people living in NI before then…
And it will fail
But which decade?
if she can get it sorted within the fortnight she will have my backing
Reunification is a misnomer. Unification is the correct term.

Is she crystal ball gazing?
Did MI5 tell you that, Maryloo?
