Maybe a coalition of the south, the north and Scotland would work.

Need a good name though...how about the Fenian, Ulster, Caledonia Kingdom.  Any acronym in there to help?

If we just became independent then we could be called the Combined Unionist Nationalist Territory.

England & Wales without N.I. and Scotland would probably be better off financially. Why do they want to keep a Union created hundreds of years ago with little or no relevance in the modern world. Are the north and Scotland the last outposts of the British Empire?

Outside of London anything would be better it seems;

This one shows the regional spread in the different EU countries.
The UK sticks out for having such gross differences in production between places. Obviously incomes may differ less if money is moved around but as public expenditure has been cut back this has reduced.

North v South is a bit like Monaghan v Waterford.

Gotta love Jim Allister. One of the reasons he gave for not counternancing a UI was the NI Subvention from Westminster as if it was something to be proud off.

Spongers!

Another poll showing a 20% swing between no Brexit and hard Brexit on the UI issue, with UI going from 35% to 56% if there isa hard Brexit. Isn't it marvellous that the DUP are pursuing this policy!

I keep coming back to this quote by Stephen Rea

"Unionists were, and still are, cut off not just from Catholics and from Ireland, but from the world. It's pure isolation. And it is so drummed into the young that they cannot let go of these views."

If Irish is x, Unionism is 1-x
And NI is very weak. So with Brexit if the choice is EU or GB the DUP will choose GB because EU is partly Ireland. But the UK is banjaxed.

So they cut off their nose to spite their face.
