That's an interesting graphic. I'm surprised at how well the 26 (or should I say Dublin, Kildare & Munster) fare here.
of course GDP may overstate things a bit. However, this was 2014, things in Leinster and Munster have improved since then and NI will fall a bit as Sterling goes down the toilet.
Quote from: whitey on January 17, 2017, 04:37:36 PMYeah. Trump will pay off the deficit
Obama told the Brits they'd be at the back of the line in terms of a trade deal.
Trump will put them at the front of the line
Trumps victory dramatically changes the potential fallout from Brexit
Quote from: heganboy on January 17, 2017, 01:25:10 PMNI is considerably behind Leinster and Munster as it is. Brexit will exacerbate the difference
this is about to get interesting. NI just became a Brexit bargaining chip.
Let's see where this goes...

I am not suggesting for one moment there was not widespread discrimination,gerrymandering in the North but I think its effects were over estimated.My parents were of the opinion that there was work of some description always for those who wanted it.As I've said before the middle classes of all hues were exempt from discrimination,Portadown like everywhere else always had its fair share of Catholic professionals and business people who started and grew businesses and lived in the leafy suburbs.
Much the same as the Protestant middle classes in the South I expect.
Seafoid there will be no hard Brexit,despite the bluster.As experienced commentator Alex Kane up here said last week,the Brexit will be so soft (assuming it goes ahead at all) that it will be unnoticeable
It looks like Alex Kane was wrong too, unless the whole thing unravels, which is still a possibility.
Quote from: T Fearon on January 16, 2017, 10:57:45 PMAlso new genders. Think how making the trans journey as a society could change NI for the better. And create a truly unique NI and thus fulfil the Fearon scripture.
New parties and new faces required to make a difference to move away from tribalism and the totally stupid preoccupation with the obsolete philosophies of Unionism and Nationalism.

So if it doesn't appeal to Republicans it ain't funny? Or it doesn't matter? And if it doesn't matter, and no one you know watches it, what are you banging on about?
I think Republicans aren't funny. But they do matter.
However, you mustn't be a Republican, because all your twisted and turned comments (persecuted again, Whitey?) are hilarious.
I'll use up one of my "lol's" just for you
In spite of what SNL and the MSM may tell you conservatism is alive and well and thriving
As much as I dislike Trump personally, I think he might actually do a decent job.
Dems are very much like the Labour Party in England....they have lots to say to those on the fringes but shag all to say to the people "humping it 60 hours a week" (to quote Bill Clinton)
