So it could just be political apathy or it could be the very real attempts to make Wales ‘England but with cheap houses’. It doesn’t help that the Welsh government is terrible and embarrassing.

Amazon have stopped shipping booze from GB to Northern Ireland fml. They always had great deals on scotch and this has hampered my plan to drink myself to death before the country collapses.

bedpan posted:Northern Ireland or Scotland first? Northern Ireland has today become a freak de facto EU statelet and the path to unification seems inevitable now. It ought to be an enormous political embarrassment for the UK government and make any talk about having achieved national sovereignty risible but they really don't give that much of a toss about the place and also some people just have no shame. Northern Ireland's position in the union will be even more untenable if Scotland leaves - the former's cultural ties to unionism have always gone through Scotland.

I really don't think Scotland will manage to leave the Union. Well, the other Union. Everything that works in favor of Irish reunification works in reverse for Scotland.

Lol, the only way Scotland would be allowed to leave the union would be to end up in a coalition government and even then it would be a referendum at the end of the term which we have seen doesn't always work out how the politicians would like. Brexit will be seen as a roaring success because that is what the Torygraph and the Dail Sieg Heil will tell people, reality will not even enter into the conversation.

Under the Good Friday Agreement a united Ireland needs majority consent from both Ireland and NI. NI isn't there yet, though Brexit is bound to help. It has majority support in Ireland as an idea. In practice it would increase the population of Ireland by more than a third. The two countries have different legal systems, government bodies, currencies, education, social security, healthcare and on and on. And NI has a dysfunctional government with very little real power granted to it on those matters. Scotland already has an independent legal system and parliament with most of the legislative and tax-raising powers needed to function as an independent country. In an ideal world both would happen soon after England sank into the sea.

A Buttery Pastry posted:I wonder if the EU might, in the spirit of friendship/owning the Brits, decide to throw a little extra money and effort Ireland's way to make unification easier on the RoI. Yeah this is the way I see it happening. Demographic changes in NI have already been happening more quickly than was predicted. In the 2011 census there was an almost even split between catholics and protestants and the census this year will likely reveal a majority catholic population for the first time and, due to Brexit, likely as many Irish passport holders as British. A border poll then becomes an inevitability and the impact of Boris's crazy deal on everyday life here will most likely push people who didn't have an opinion on the matter towards unification. Unionism is no longer the safe, status quo that it was for decades. NI will continue to be a massive thorn in the side of the British government and it will be glad to negotiate a settlement with RoI and the EU to be rid of it
