United Ireland on menu again

Post by daib0 » Sun Apr 30, 2017 8:57 pm

More pressure from outside?

Europe could allow a united Ireland to join EU after Brexit

Leaders expected to discuss statement at weekend summit that if the island reunifies, the north will automatically regain EU membership

Will it fall on 'deaf' ears, or just no chance of happening?

Rest of Europe seem to be trying just about anything to makes things worse for us. f*** em.
It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.

Polls show that more people in Scotland would rather be out of the EU and in the UK rather than in the EU and independent ( so I can't really see the majority of Northern Ireland going for a united Ireland just to stay in the EU. If they are that desperate they can have an Irish passport anyway.

Can't see it ever happening as the south don't want us. Neither do the rest of the UK probably but you should have thought about that before you colonized everywhere, d***s <wenger>.

It's not really on the menu is it though? The EU can say what they want but they aren't one of the three main stakeholders, the Stormont Assembly (when/if it comes back), the UK gov and the people of NI. Key being the last one who still narrowly are against it according to polling
