They have never put forward a viable blueprint for how a United Ireland would work. Yet they’ve been calling for it for decades.
Polls have shown that support both sides of the border absolutely plummets if we have to pay more taxes to achieve it. And that’s before we learn how many jobs would be lost in the public sector, how public services are impacted, and how we cope with losing access to our biggest trading point in the rest of the UK.
How about no? This is an unstable era; we shouldn’t be giving annexationist ideology the time of day
United Ireland is like United Ukraine (current parts + the occupied parts). It’s a nice dream and hope it happens one day.
The way things are going there won’t be a UK by 2030. Good.
If it’s what the people wants, it’s what the people wants. They should always be allowed to choose.
Just do it, just have the referendum. Resolve the question once and for all, and good luck to you if you decide to leave the union.
There will always be reasons not to do it, and for certain there will be economic shock; that is unavoidable, but you should fully commit to joining the Republic completely, adopting all their laws and customs, etc.
But if the vote is to remain, then commit to remaining. Don’t kick the can down the road.
Make the referendum conditional: this will only happen once and not again for a minimum 100 years, so make up your minds, and either way, commit.
The status quo is close enough to a united Ireland to keep most republicans happy whilst being far enough away to keep most unionists happy. There is no scenario where we get a united ireland without violence.
its good now tho, they get access to the UK AND THE EU without any additional restrictions.
