Northern 1 will be skewed as I doubt if there's many Unionists or Alliance people on here?

I am in favour of a UI and would hope to vote positively if a referendum poll is held in my lifetime but, as the old saying puts it, the devil is in the detail.
It's quite understandable that Nationalist posters on the board seem to think that a single vote majority north of the border is all that's needed to get the job done and dusted, but I wouldn't be so sure. There's 300+ years of past history to be put aside before there's a realistic chance of a positive referendum outcome will become a reality.
I think most citizens of the Republic are in favour okay but are genuinely afraid that sectarian violence will erupt again and will spill over into the south.
I am concerned that a sizeable number of Nationalists/Sinn Feiners seem far too eager to repay with interest all the insults and humiliation to their cause right back to 1690 and beyond.
There must be a mutual acceptance before the polling booths open, that past history cannot be allowed to determine future policy. That's some ask.
