A United Ireland. Opening up the discussion.

European Movement poll

Support for Irish unity within the EU:

Northern Ireland: 63% in favour, 29% against

Republic of Ireland: 59% in favour, 22% against

There is no way that 63% of the people in Northern Ireland want a united Ireland

If you add the in the EU caveat it mightn't be a million miles away. 63% is optimistic still

FFG have plenty of money - another bike shed scandal. Maybe they should try and re-unite Ireland.

This time in Kerry.

Not bad money for a contracror who can do these.

Well if you only listen to the likes of the DUP, Peter Shirlow end even Mick featly then yes it would seem impossible as they just look at the SF/SDLP vote stagnating at 40% for 20 yrs, they conveniently ignore the unionist vote in free fall they ignore the 20% pro EU middle ground being very different to the 5% that voted for the very pro unionist alliance party in the nineties. That 20% middle ground now transfer heavily to nationalists but those lads seem to just think they are still blanket unionists. So under the right circumstances there is already enough there to make the jump. A Reform party landslide at the next general election might just help speed things up
