Just us so.
A united Ireland, you say?
Slugger O’Toole writes:
Does anybody seriously think that a 56 % majority in favour of Remain on a 63% turnout translates into majority support for a united Ireland? That Northern Ireland outside the EU will produce “a seismic shift?”
“Europe” just isn’t that important in the North, unless it’s exploited as a new tune on the nationalist drum.
So the question the Irish have to answer now is: are you serious?
…If you don’t like the British negotiating position going into the Article 50 process, will you ask the British government to regard the Remain vote which included a fair minority of unionists as evidence which favours a border poll? Do you think the British would agree?
Anyone?
