It won't happen in my lifetime, but I can see Ireland and Ulster becoming united again at some point this century.
Power sharing has been suspended for 2 years because the DUP is not happy with the BREXIT deal. They are already the minority party. Over time, they will be even smaller as a result of the birth rate.
There will be some political fudge that ensures the Protestants in Ulster are safeguarded.
I have no strong views on this. All I want is peace and fairness for all.
That assumes that the Eire really does want Ulster with its deprivation, residual problems and entrenched positions?
ReplyDeleteThe tide of history however suggests that Ireland will become reunited just as Germany has become but it will probably not be an end to "troubles"
Many in England would be pleased to see the back of Ulster; but then what of Scotland?
What will it cost in financial terms if a subsidy is offered?
But remember that the Conservative Party is currently actually "The Conservative and Unionist Party"
You are right not in my lifetime either!
