Forcing a million people to share nationality with me just because a few more than that want them to is not really on my agenda to the same extent as some people.

Do you really expect the unionists to say "ok lads theres more of them than us now lets form a united Ireland".

Oh so the Unionists dont want it, that's ok dhorse, I guess us Nationalists will roll over and accept the fact that we're not allowed self-determination even when we're in the majority. I note you're not such a strong advocate for the Nationalist people in the North who are forced to share a nationality they dont accept.

With all due respect to the Unionists, they've been given a false position of privledge for approaching 100 years now. Whether they like it or not they will have to accept that they are a minority on the island as a whole. They will soon be a minority in the 6 counties, albeit a very sizeable one. Time to face the reality.



Well said son, one of only a few men on this board makes any sense. i hate all youse liberals crying about what about the wee unionists etc etc. Majority rules and if or when nationalists are in the majoruty we decide and we will get what we vote for as it isnt the 1970s anymore, we count now thanks to certain groups.

Lets just hope all you middle class yuppy sons of the Celtic Tiger dont abandon us AGAIN, but sadly i wont be holding my breath.

What a charming man.

Although, I'm not sure why he would want to live in a State where he shows so much hostility towards the residents of it.

This thread has been spun out, if you'll pardon the pun, but just on cue JohnGrace1989 has started a similar one which should keep the flag flying for this week

I'm away for a few weeks. Now that this motion has been carried, what seismic changes can I expect on my return to my dearly beloved united Ireland?

Dont worry about them seanie_boy, let them enjoy their partition while it lasts. A wiser man than us once said:

"No man has the right to set a boundary to the onward march of a nation. No man has the right to say: 'Thus far shalt thou go, and no further''

dhorse and PomeroyPlunkett, my last comment above was made in jest.

A number of posters have very eloquently argued on this thread that partition will never and should never end hence my comment let them enjoy it while it lasts as I disagree with them completely!!
