Colonies don't have strict borders like they used to. Influencing through hearts and minds is much more effective than enforcing borders with guns.

I actually think greater cooperation with the mainland is a good thing and will probably ultimately result in full assimilation: much like the devolved governments of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

Actually, I'd say more Irish people are choosing atheism over religion. Although I'm quite unsure what people believing in a specific version of the same fairy-tale has anything to do with a political visit. Perhaps you might enlighten me? Although, I'm sure you'll find it difficult enlightening anyone from under that bridge.

hey, the UK has a coalition government, where a minority party sold it's soul to a large party that only looks after the rich. MPs have been caught fiddling their expenses and they are in a complete mess financially.

Next month the Pope is visiting.

Maybe they want to assimilate with Ireland?
