Since Starmer offered to resign, if found guilty by Durham police, WQ seem to have lost his on line tongue.

I see what you did there, deflected away from the post.

Any thoughts on the unionists vote being a greater proportion of the vote overall or the fact the nationalist vote was down on numbers?

You will notice that I apologised for suggesting that Sinn Fein only had the highest number of seats, as opposed to an overall majority.
However, the point still stands and Brexit along with our impotent government (in relation to all matters N .Ireland), will very likely lead to a Unification vote.

The issue here, just as it was when the Breixt deal was agreed, is that NOBODY offered a workable solution for N. Ireland.
The constraints of the GFA, in not allowing checks on the island of Ireland made and simple solution impossible but, once Bojo achieved his parliamentary majority and no longer needed the support of the DUP, he simply cast them aside and with it, promises that he had made to the people of N .Ireland.

Breaking promises has been a feature of his Premiership but, the mess is still there and the protocol, which was agreed and signed off by our Prime Minister is still not able to be fully applied and looks like it never will be. Instead, he would rather renege on the deal that HE signed and "hope that things work out".

The result of this is that the former political wing of the IRA are getting ever closer to running part on the UK.

They may not have an overall majority (yet) but, it's certainly closer than at any point in the last century.

If I'd known that this would be a consequence of Brexit I'd have voted to leave too but, unlike the Brexiteers, I didn't know what was on the table. This is a nice side-effect of the sh!tsh0w that it has become. Silver linings and all that!

That's an interesting take on the effects of "leave" "winging it".
However, it has to be up to the people of N .Ireland to choose their future and although a United Ireland may seem like a "good outcome", Unification would bring a whole new set of problems for the people in the North, especially the Unionists.
The irony, that they held the balance of power, for a short while and then ended up getting right royally shafted is quite unbelievable and the promises that Johnson made to them, which now seem to have disappeared into the ether have become juts another small pile in his (Johnson's) litany of lies and broken promises, which could come back and bite him at the next General Election.

The south cant afford to bring the North onboard. It just won't happen.

That was the case in the past but not so much nowadays.

If there's a referendum and a majority vote in favour to re-unite Ireland, the US and EU will make sure it happens.

The South won't allow a referendum to happen, and if it was to happen it wouldn't get over the line. Don't let your fertile imagination run away with itself.

How do you know that is this just your opinion based on nothing more than some insane belief to justify the lies told by de Pfeffel to the people of Northern Ireland who actually voted to remain.

What the hell are you going on about? Does anything ever go further than Boris with you?

I must be mistaken in thinking that this was the deal agreed and signed by de Pfeffel to get Brexit done that has lead to the position Northern Ireland is in. I know he only plays the part of being the PM but I am pretty certain that he is responsible for the current problems. I look forward to your view on who you believe to be the cause of the current problems.

If data shows the majority of NI are in favour of reunification then there has to be a referendum as per the GF agreement. The majority still favour being part of the union so it won't happen any time soon, but the support for reunification is definitely increasing, and has been for a while now.

Personally, I don't see it happening completely, I think self rule will remain in place, but Ireland will hold overall control, as the UK does now.

Not so sure. Fine Gael are even starting to consider it. Varadkar addressed a business dinner and said "I do think we need to clarify the mechanism for calling a border poll. Surely it should involve the NIA and not just the SoS. We would also need to know what the question was and have clear proposals as to what unification would look like". Interesting times ahead!

This culture war stuff filled with lies about pint glasses, crowns and imperial measures really is scraping the barrel of distraction. Surely even the most hard lunatic Quitters don't believe it do they?

Really ??
