Yeah yeah I'm back briefly. Who gives a shit?
Basically since Brexit, this has opened up the door to my biggest political aspiration of my life. Just curious if anyone is interested or knows anything about it. Plus I really wanna stick to those loyalist bastards.

Can it happen? Aren't Brits the majority in northern Ireland?

The Republic doesn't even want the North because of the economic burden lmao. Plus, as agreed upon in the Good Friday Agreement, the North can reunify anytime they wish but the majority still don't want to. The most grueling misconception of this whole topic to those with little understanding is the idea that Northern Ireland is still somehow held hostage by Westminster and, likewise as a Scot, this is why I also find discussing Scottish independence with non-Brits eye-rolling. Whether or not the union itself will survive the next couple generations is another question altogether.

Ok, but how many people could vote for reunification if there'll be a referendum? Your situation is similar to Alto Adige (Sudtyrol) in Italy. They have German as official language together with Italian, they always threaten to leave and reunite to Austria, but their main goal is obtaining more money from Italian government. Does northern Ireland get money from the UK? If so, I doubt they'll vote to leave even if they were given the chance to. |

It's probably the poorest region of the UK and the real Brits don't give a shit about it. |

Well, Alto Adige is probably the richest Italian region because they don't pay taxes to the central government. Anyway, I guess you are wondering why Britain doesn't let northern Ireland go. It's a matter of stubbornness I guess. |

I liked Ireland better when it was just a bunch of petty kingdoms

So, Sinn Fein is now the major (29%) party in northern Ireland.
