Would you support a United Ireland under these circumstances?

[Proctor]

I support the split.

Why would any Irishman want to be under the crown of Windsor? >.>. Mind boggling idea.

According to polls, the northern Irish prefer to stay connected with Britain, why would any northern Irish in their right mind want to be part of an economically failing country (Like the republic of Ireland)

[Graham]

3 Points.

Ireland has turned the corner economically and is picking up at a rapid pace.

Most polls don't use 'non-voters' from elections, for 'one off' referendums. So can't be taking as accurate. TNS does take this into account and should be seen as the best. But I haven't checked their polls.

The irish would probably prefer their Republic than to Unite, as it currently stands.

It should stay the way it is.

The protestants in the North would suffer in various different ways if Ulster was united with Ireland, but the people in the Republic dont suffer from Ulster remaining a part of the U.K. and Catholics in the North are more than able to move to the South if they absolutely cant stand living in the North anymore.

besides as long as the majority of the people in the North want to remain in the U.K then that is how it should be.
The Republic should have no say in what happens to the North as they dont generally have the best interest in mind for the majority of the population living there.

Protestant in the North are Brits by blood, and they identify as such: http://www.theapricity.com/forum/sho...h+feel+british

68% of them at least.

Who belongs more in Ireland? The Irish or the British?

yeah, you just proved my point. Most the people in the North want to remain in the U.K.

it should stay how it is.

The north gets to be part of the UK, like the majority want, and the south gets to be an independent republic, like most of them want, too.


Democracy......it is a bitch. up

No, I did not say that. I said that most of the Northern "Irish" Protestants identify as "British". Which on top of them being the descendants of English/Scottish settlers means they certainly do not belong in Ireland.

I guess that's for the people in the North to decide............not outsiders.



Anyway, they certainly belong in Northern Ireland.

Sorry, I don't believe in democracy. Plus I'm just stating something that is factual: Those people aren't Irish by blood, and they do not identify as Irish either. Not ordering anything.
