Northern Ireland, a place famous for essentially having a low intensity civil war for thirty years or so, is a place where everyone is basically of one political view. Yes this sounds correct, I will make assumptions presently says man.

Common Market 2.0 might actually have legs, and is being whipped for by Labour.

This might actually deliver Brexit, Labour gov and not ruin the economy (lol, none of those things will happen but its nice to imagine)

If wages went that low they'd be violence in the streets, who'd set up new manufacturing here rather than China where the government can keep order.

You say that as if GB has already erupted into riots over brexit. Or that it rioted after Grenfell. Or over the defunding of the NHS, social services, the Iraq war, or really anything over the last 20 years except in 2011 and that was stopped dead within a week.

Also, obviously, GB isn't half a world away from the EU, so you save on shipping, and salaries are rising there.

Yes, which is almost better than now in that the Brits remain in Europe and merely give up their ability to influence it

To Add that it Appears that Many comments around us Leaving the cabal of European bureaucrats has To-Do with trade which WAS what the EU was in the 70s: a trade deal. What the EU is currently is Much More Invasive and NOT what was Voted for in the 70s. As a pensioner who was Never On The Dole. I recall this Vote and what the EU was as an entity.

Is it basically a West/East Germany thing?

It's nowhere near as pronounced as that. For many years after partition, NI was the richer of the two, being more industrialised and having better transport, infrastructure and social programmes. The Troubles and the decline of traditional manufacturing took its toll, and recently it has suffered from Ireland being able to set stupidly low corporate tax rates to entice Silicon Valley companies to set up shop. This also results in a massive brain drain from north to south, but outside the tech sector there's not a huge difference in income and cost of living between the two countries.

The biggest problem for re-unification, and the reason why NI is such a drain on the UK's finances, is that it has a crazy high level of public sector employment (somewhere around 1/3 of the working population). Every department of UK government its own Northern Irish equivalent with different internal structures and rules to follow, as well as dozens that exist only in NI - public sector water utility, social housing executive, public sector transport system and more. These all exist because of decades of Unionists insisting that Northern Ireland is a special case that must be treated separately from the UK in every imaginable way.

Dismantling all this would cause massive upheaval and unemployment.

a lot of ni’s private sector employment comes from british companies outsourcing stuff so it’s still in the uk but a much cheaper corner. so that would all go as well most likely
