How can we integrate Unionism into a possible United Ireland?

No question the good friday agreement is not set in stone for all time. At some point Irish reunification will come and that will be the end of the good friday agreement.

But thats not what I said, what I said/meant was that it would be injust to expect them to leave. It's not even a remote possibility anyway so fairly irrelevant.

Absolutely its not unjust that they should live in a state that they as a minority disagree with, but as I pointed out, - they'll cause annoyance, difficulty and possibly mayhem within it.

And as I also said, I'd vote in favour of a UI regardless.

Yes, but you're not defining what a 'united Ireland' would actually look like. It's very unlikely that it would just be a continuation of the Republic with six extra counties added (i.e. retaining the tricolour, Amhran na bhFiann, the Gardai, the Dáil etc). A 32 county state would be a brand new entity and would look different to what we have now (we don't even know what sort of parliament it would have or how the new government would operate).

Well aware of that. Id still hold my nose and vote in favour.

What I'd be sadder about is the inevitable violence precipitated by any version of a UI or NAI.

People probably die in every scenario apart from status quo.

I'd still vote in favour.

I wouldn't like any of those changes either, but practical reality means some or all of them would have to happen for a UI to occur.

Us just annexing the north would be a recipe for even greater violence and a far higher number of deaths.

Not sure I'd vote for that.

this is just scare mongering.

the UVF and other loyalist groups do not have the support and ability to carry out the type of attacks they were able to carry out during the troubles, nothing near it.

they were only able to do that because of the support of the british state and they don't have that, the most they can do is small scale rioting.

the common wealth is irrelevant, wasting our time integrating ourselves into it is going to do absolutely nothing as unionists dont give a stuff whether we are part of it or not.

if there is to be any violence, and it's unlikely, it's in a situation where NI votes yes but the ROI votes no, and even then it is not going to be anything serious because the support and ability isn't there.

a UI is unavoidable, it is going to happen, that's set in stone, the question is when and whether we vote for it or have it forced on us by the british state who decide they no longer want NI.

a UI needs discussion - https://www.sinnfein.ie/files/2022/Citizens_Assembly_on_Irish_Unity.pdf

The way that things are going right now it would look like the unionists will likely be integrated into a united Ireland by getting the unionists to focus all their attention on Muslim and African migrants and the British government who is responsible for bringing the migrants into Ulster and refusing to reduce migration levels. Many of them would take a united Ireland if it means that Ulster won't be swamped by Muslims and Africans like what happened in England with Greater London, the West Midlands, and Lancashire.

Im a no , too much hassle to integrate a population group that hate you, if there was a real sea change where Unionists started to hate GB then maybe and attitudes changed down here but that would be outside my lifetime

what mechanism would force us to take on NI if the British washed their hands of it?

that’s what I was thinking

We'll all be dead and gone by the time either of those happen.

the UK most likely as scotland will go independant eventually thankfully and england won't be able to afford to keep the rest of the uniion and over seas colonies going.

the EU won't collapse as ultimately dispite everything, it has been a force for good over all and has brought european nations together.

the dark forces that want to destroy it so as to turn their countries into some sort of dictatorships will ultimately fail, they have got the odd win and may get a couple more, but ultimately as they always fail in government they will be gone after 1 term so won't be able to do too much damage over all.

in the second case you cant say "wont" , demographics and debt are growing problems . if for instance Germany ceases to be an economic powerhouse the EU at least might need to reform into a more loose association where one country isnt going to accept financial obligations to others.

unionism is a desired union with britain. A united is the opposite thing
