    Im not sure if you have followed the discussion steddyeddy. It was on Protestants in Northern Ireland being in favour of the UK and more Catholics actually wanting to remain in the UK than Protestants wanting to join a United Ireland. Hope that helps :)

    Im not particularly graced with much political knowledge, but I just thought what-if Sinn Fein (as the only common party in the North and South) somehow got voted in to both governments at the same time. Would this ultimately make the 32 county Ireland, since the same powers that be in both the north and south sinn fein parties, although seperate in their own right, control both parties?!
    Just a few quick notes to make. Im not a Sinn Fein follower, or any other for that matter at present. And if this has been discussed before, Id be grateful of any help linking to it. Really it was just a thought that popped into my head Id like an answer to! Thanks for reading.

    Spot the religion keith. By the way its a bit sectarian including only protestent unionists as you said there are catholic ones too so please just say uinionst and stop usingsectarian terms like pul.

    Sorry dude but you are wrong. We all know that there have been illegal and immoral acts in the history of Irish politics, but we live in 2011 and by the 1999 referendums.

    Even if Sinn Féin became the sole and majority Government party in both Northern Ireland and Ireland, they cannot make these changes that you speak of without the consent (by referendum in both NI and IE) of the majority of the population of both Northern Ireland and Ireland.

    im confident a referendum in the south would succeed. the one in the 6 counties wouldnt have a hope.
