Cannon Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 The possibility of a referendum is there. It would be a smart decision economically for the North to reunite with the South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 The possibility of a referendum is there. It would be a smart decision economically for the North to reunite with the South. For us or for them ? Lol The south is broke, has no health care etc etc. My cousins wife's father is a farmer out there, recently diagnosed with cancer, paid out £80,000 so far for treatment 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotslad Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 My mate had the figure that only 30% of catholics in NI actually wanted to unitied ireland, which shocked me if true. Is there not still more prodestants in NI or is it approaching 50/50 now? As long as there is it won't really be a problem If this kicks of should make for a peaceful marching season, not. Must admit i never believed the Major/Blair's scare story about peace in NI but mibee nearer the truth than i thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontastic Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I believe we would vote to remain part of the UK. All of those who voted out would likely vote to remain British and of the ones who voted to remain in the eu a fair number would likely wish to remain loyal to Britain.

Nor should they in my opinion, it should be the people that live there that get to vote on it, I wouldn't expect to vote in a Scottish Referendum and that would be much the same thing.

Wrong there would be two similtanious referendums one here and one in the south!A positive result is needed in both for a united ireland! Personally i would like to see it happen a level debate about the pros and cons would be a good thing! Unfortunatly i feel r politicians would turn it into a slagging match that would make the recent remain scare tactics look honorable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordnance Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Its not goint to happen, a poll would be a waste time and money. Northern Ireland says 'yes' to a border poll... but a firm 'no' to united ... www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk › News › Northern Ireland shouldn't we open the way for a united Ireland How would you go about that. ?

Cannon Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Its not goint to happenSays who? Sure britain was never going to leave the EU, and look what happened there. People over here let their bigotry and hatred blind them from thinking rationally. I would compare the unionist point of view to a venus fly trap in the rain. As soon as you mention a United Ireland, unionists surround themselves in this cocoon of ill conceived thoughts and opinions, similar to the way a venus fly trap will close up on heavy rain. It's never guna happen so it's nat. Well, in a weeks time ordnance you go online and do one of your wee google statistics searches, just to see how many loyal unionists have betrayed their nationality just to obtain an Irish passport. The insecurity runs deep. Edited June 24, 2016 by Cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
