United Ireland

[mayogodhelpus@gmail.com]

I was just wondering how far us Irish Nationalists would go to have our United Ireland? I was also wondering how many options would be acceptable to our Unionist countrymen?

Please vote for any option that you would accept, including those even only acceptable as a last resort.

Why on earth would anybody want a monarchy?

Why on earth would anybody want a monarchy?

I don't, but I left the option for those who want a United Ireland at any cost and for Unionists who may be more about the Crown/a Crown than the actual British identity.

Question 15. Who should pay for your united ireland ? 

[Nally Stand]

Question 16. Is "cost" just the standardised excuse for apathy towards Irish Unity, in the 26 counties? During the Celtic Septic Tiger years, I didn't hear much mass outpouring of support for Irish Unity south of the border. People just seemed to blissfully forget about the issue... the party was in full swing and everyone was too preoccupied living like kings. It just begs the question - if when times were good, many in the south didn't care about the north, and when times are bad, they say it's just too expensive to unite the nation,.... when will people care?

I think the fact that most protestants in the wee 6 are happy being British is also a factor.

Northern Ireland would have to shape up economically before its British parents could consider offering its hand
in marriage to the south.

The Germans of course, maybe I should have put United Ireland as part of the German Republic.

I was also thinking a
- United Ireland under American rule (Puerto Rico status).
- United Ireland under Chineese rule (Hong Kong stauts).
- United Ireland under Australian rule (we can all fck off there without visas and they can visit Europe without visas).
- United Ireland under the rule of Allah (Protectorate of Saudi Arabia).
- United Ireland under King William and Queen Kate after they escape under the cover of darkness to the Emerald Isle as the Great Terror takes reign in Britain and Madamme Guillotine is introduced to cleanse the New British Republic.
- United Ireland within a Celtic Federation.
- United Ireland under Supreme Leader Bertie Ahern after his Coup.
- United Ireland under the born again Napoleonic French Republic (1798 claim)
- United Ireland conquered by the newly independent Scots, invoking Dal Riada, the Conventors, the Bruce & Aiden McGeady.

the apathy is due to people having enough money and are happy in their own little bubble - its called 'me feinism'

This Irishman is entirely* happy with the status quo.

He is also very confident that the status quo will prevail at least long enough to see him out.

Some of you need to realise that people couldn't give a shit whether we live in a United Ireland or not. People are busy trying to keep a roof over their heads and trying to raise their children, a United Ireland would be well down the list of priorities or ideals, if it featured at all. It doesent make them any more or less of "an Irishman" either. A lot of people don't give a shit about politics.

Are you Bertie Ahern? That is a Myth.

What if - the answer to that is never? Where does that leave 6 county republicans and nationalists? What would happen next?
