Northern Ireland 2125?

If you did not forget a thing then you are trying to mislead or else being stupid. Because the transition to a UI is only guaranteed in the GFA IF a majority in both jurisdictions ( N.I. and Rep of I ) want a U.I. and vote for that.

It is quite conceivable such a vote may never pass, so therefore your hoped for transition to a U.I. may never ( some may say probably never ) pass.

The transition to me owning a luxury beach-front villa in the sun is only guaranteed IF I come in a large amount of money (eg lottery win) and I have the health to enjoy it.

The transition from your someones uncle becoming their aunt is only guaranteed if they have a sex change operation.

None of those things - (a) vote in N.I. for a U.I.,

(b) vote in Republic of Ireland to take on N.I. ( in the fifties the UK rejected Malta becoming part of the UK even though Malta voted to join the UK),

(c) me winning the lotto etc

(d) sex change operation

are guaranteed to happen , but of course if they do they will have consequences. It is conceivable there will NEVER be a border poll. Adams said 25 years ago Ireland would be united by 2016. Did'nt happen.

Have any other states in the world ever voted to join each other? I'm thinking of Haita and the Dominican Republic, both share the same island, but no talks of "re-unification" there.

You wrote, a number of times. "The transition to a UI is guaranteed in the GFA"

The GFA does not guarantee a U.I., or the transition to one. Because it is quite conceivable there will never be a border poll. Or if there is one, sometime way in the future, it may very well have the same result as the last border poll : the majority want to stay in the UK.

There is a huge difference in saying (a) "The transition to a UI is guaranteed in the GFA" and

(b) the transition to a UI is guaranteed in the GFA if, in the future, a majority in both jurisdictions ( N.I. and Rep of I ) want a U.I. and vote for that.

It is such a facile pointless thing to ask 'when Ireland was united'. As if it was going to change anything.

Yes, can verify that.

That’s pretty remarkable

Until you look at how it actually affected those under it's 'authority'. Bigoted sectarian and gerymandered one party rule followed by 30 years of conflict/war followed by failed devolution that an International Agreement can barely keep on life support.

Remarkable maybe, pretty? No.

About as relevant to 2025 as the Battle Of The Boyne is.

You have absolutely no data to support that.
Secure? From a member of a community chewing your leg off at the site of the Irish language. 😁

So let them determine it.

Unionism is petrified of a BP because they know they are in decline and have more or less given up trying to persuade on the Union and have bunkered down into culture wars they are losing and will continue to lose

pitiful. Another poster who doesn’t understand the GFA.

There doesn't ‘ have to be ‘ a BP every 7 years.

NI isn’t working because of Unionist insecurity and resistence to equality.
Call in’s and Petitions of Concern are them clinging to their veto.
There also hasn’t been an election in the modern age if ever that doesn’t drive people into bunkers.
As to the OO, there is as much chance of it growing as pineapples in the Artic circle.

Has the penny not dropped yet with you that before a Border Poll is held, people should know what they would be voting for - what it would mean for taxes, pensions, loss of free trade between N.I. and Britain, division of N.I.'s share of UK national debt, possible reduction in NATO territory, flag, anthem, commonwealth, etc?

Otherwise people would be voting for a pig in a poke. They done that with Brexit : before Brexit, people were told that in the promised land of Brexit there would be £350 million per week extra for the NHS, that groceries and food would be 20% cheaper, that immigration would be solved etc. You are telling us in the promised land of a U.I. all will be better. Trust SF, the party you follow, you say. The same party that earlier this week could not even count the number of properties it owns in their accounts and declare them honestly?

You are missing the point. The cost of maintaining N.I. is currently spread among the taxpayers of the UK, a G7 nation of 38 million taxpayers. Ireland has just over 2 million people who actually pay income tax, and who the burden of supporting N.I. would fall on in the event of a N.I.

I would not have expected better maths from you or an honest answer seeing as you support the party that earlier this week could not even count the number of properties it owns in their accounts and declare them honestly.
