Time to bow before the queen?

Given that more Irish people choose to live under British rule than under Irish rule. (6,000,000 in Britain + population of NI) is it time for referendum for a united Ireland under British rule?

Now the idea sickens me but as my belief in democracy is stronger than my republicanism, then part of me feels such a referendum would be fair.

A united Ireland under British rule would enjoy a lot of autonomy as does NI and Scotland. Perhaps more autonomy than we will 10 years from now anyway.

What do you think, should we have a referendum and how would you vote?

What a failure of a thread (and logic). That's all my input on this thread.

Maybe we can take Scotlands place if/when they leave ??

And if you are looking for reasoned argument, then just no.

Is it just me or has there been an exponential explosion in throlling of late?

At this stage I would consider this a workable solution as at present i wouldnt trust Ireland with a pair of scissors

Why is it trolling? I've said I am opposed to it myself. However it is a fact that more Irish people choose to live under British rule. This might be for economic reasons but so would the reunification be.

The ones who choose to live under British rule. I'm not one of them though I have more siblings in England now than Ireland.

Given human migration patterns over the past few centuries, I would say that about 95% of Africans had chosen to live outside of Africa!

Shouldn't that be 60,000,000 ?

Defiler Of The Coffin

Yes OP. Given all the Irish that choose to emigrate to places where Elizabeth II is head of state (Britain, Canada, Australia etc) I think we should definitely have a referendum on this. Let's keep all us far-flung Irish inside the one nation!

Sunnyisland

Just because one lives in a foreign country does not make one a citizen or watanabe citizen of said country,You dont loose your Irishness if you dont live in Ireland.For the majority of people living abroad, it is a temporary arrangement due to economic factors.

30,000 Irish living in the Benelux countries so we should throw Margrethe II, Queen of Denmark into the equation.
Danish Pastries for everyone!

Which ones are they? Most republican/nationalist people who live in Northern Ireland would prefer to live in a 32 state republic.

The others do not consider themselves Irish but British.

That ain't true. No matter how much you or I would want it to be.

http://www.independent.ie/national-news/northern-catholics-dont-want-united-ireland-2800103.html

I don't want to live in Britain, or for any part of Ireland to be British but what I am asking is that is there any decent argument for that stance considering sovereignty is pretty much fcuked out the window anyway.

I would actually like people to tell me why it is a bad idea.

It's a bad idea because you would become British. Is it not pretty straight forward?

I'd vote NO, mainly because it would give further legitimacy to the Illuminati's plan to install the Lizard Queen as head of the One World government and wipe out 99% of the Earth's popultaion to keep humankind in permanent slavery.

How long do you have to live in an adopted country before you count as being part of the population of that country?

Ive lived in Ireland for 25 years, so is a guy born and bred in the UK or Aus of Irish parents more Irish than me?
