Northern Ireland 2125?

It was pretty clear that you never intended to use the thread to have a good faith discussion...

That looks like a wad of crap from some AI to me. I didn't even bother to read it beyond checking for sources which are of course notable by their absence.

So it isn’t disputed then?

If it gives you comfort to think that partition is not disputed, work away. You'll be in for a surprise but that seems to be your choice.

Like the result of any referendum you are free to dispute it. Nobody agrees that abortion is right just because a referendum allows it.

Dispute away, that will be your right now and always.

All I can gather from your posts is that you seem to be worried that in the event of a UI you will be accused of being 2nd class Irish?

Only morons would do that, you're as Irish as any of them, you don't need to invent a new history to claim so.

I think most people would know that a confident Unionist who sees himself as British would not be on a website constantly trying to reassure himself of the future.

The GFA is unique because it is an agreement between two, yes @downcow, that's TWO sovereign nations.
No such need exists for Scotland Wales or Cornwall.

The GFA explicitly involves Dublin and the Irish electorate in yours and everyone else in the north's fate.

It was what your community railed against when it was signed and it was why The DUP, TUV and belligerent Unionists/Loyalists hated it and still do to this day even though some of them will pretend.

Seriously, if you don't get that about it, that really is your problem.

25 years after they are gone you are still on about the 'RA while everyone else has moved on and are working towards that constitutional change.
Instead of burning toxic waste and stolen wood they are holding huge inclusive cultural events discussing that change and many other things about themselves and their neighbours, that's a confident community not one paralysed by siege mentalities.

Somebody said the other day that Michaél Martin's achievement was keeping SF out of government here.

That's all it will take IMO to start the ball rolling towards a BP - SF in a government, I also think a different FF leader could do it if he/she has vision. It's a mega prize for any political leader here.

I have always said the British will wait until Dublin says it is ready for a BP. The British are long ready, the GFA was their tacit withdrawal after all…and Paisley, Allister, Bryson and the ordinary belligerent Unionist/Loyalist knows that too. It's why they hate it and why they seek constant reassurance.

The criticism is of belligerent Unionism/Loyalism.

And if you think achieving Irish Unity is not looked on as a political prize just wait and see when the volte face happens. You will have Irish leaders of whatever creed talking about 'century long dreams' and aspirations and their part in progressing it etc. etc.
The reason that hasn't happened is simple 'fear' - fear that power for them will wane in a UI.

Unfortunately for them, that power is waning for FG & FF anyway, they have tacitly merged now because their biggest fear is at the gate.

There will be a tipping point and you will see in FG and FF the same thing that happened when Leo Varadkar shook off the constraints imposed by FG. Once those constraints are gone they will embrace a UI as if it was their idea. That day is close IMO.

That's not the same thing at all. If it was a massive prize, they'd be scrambling for it to distract from Ireland's very real problems. If the tide turns, they'll run to the front and make out as if they were after unification all along. That's just cynical opportunism, nothing more.

I don't think that many people care about unification at this point. The GFA and the UK's former membership of the EU had eroded any difference to the point of irrelevance. If Sinn Féin form a government, I do expect them to pursue unification more zealously but that won't be why they get in. It'll be for the same reason Keir Starmer is our PM here. Voters will just vote for change, not a UI.

I enjoyed this tweeter, pointing out the same thing I did.

If voters vote for SF they will know that a UI is a huge part of their policy. They will expect and be comfortable with them pursuing one.

If you haven't noticed the fear of empowering SF and fear of giving northern voters any voting rights while paying lip service to Shared Islands and equal citizenship then there is not much I can do. That fear has ended Civil War politics and ushered in a coming together of FF and FG to see off the impostors at the gate.
