      I still think about a tweet some guy posted the morning after the Scottish independence referendum was rejected. It was just a photo of the tricolour atop the Parnell monument on O’Connell St with the text – ‘Alone it stands’

      It’s inevitable. We’ve known this since 1998. The key here is when it happens.

      I think reunification is closer then most of us realise.

      We can hope not. I for one don’t want our economy to get fucked – it’s hard enough getting by at the minute.

      Like almost everyone I’d welcome reunification.

      However, when you boil it all down, the article could be summarised as: partisan person believes what you’d expect him to believe

      Better hurry, we’re behind schedule according to Star Trek

      Reunification will only happen when the republic becomes a significantly better place to live than the North. Similar to how West and East Germany reunified; when nobody wanted to live in East Germany it made reunification the logical course of action.

      With the ever growing masses of disillusioned people who have lost faith in the main 2 political parties there’s a fair chance we will see England swing to the hard right, support for independent Scotland and Wales grow as well as Irish unification.

      Our new government got in with less votes than they had in the previous two elections (which they lost) but due to us using FPTP with all its super fun quirks they ended up with a massive majority of seats. If Labour cant show the country that the establishment can work (Currently they are taking winter heating payments away from a whack of old folk, support a 2 child cap on benefits and the new PM is embroiled in a corruption scandal to do with “donations”) then yea, the country is fairly fucked.

      Im a fairly soft independence supporter. Only reason I swapped from pro union to inde back in 2014 was fear of UKIP. Now Reform (UKIP 3.0) are surging ahead all over the place. I don’t believe us Scots are inherently better than any one else but by fuck im sick and tired of the UK and its archaic voting system, the unelected House of Lords or the fact that we seldom hold sway in who governs us. The population balance means whatever government England wants is what we get.

      Anyway we are about to have a renewable energy boom and I cant wait to see the benefits it brings, just like we had during the oil boom….yup….all those benefits.

      Mad that 90% of the UK care less about northern Ireland being part of the union than 40% of northern Ireland. Guarantee most English people couldn’t tell you what counties are in the UK and what ones are in the republic….I mean from conversations I’ve had alot of people still call the republic southern Ireland…blows their mind when they realise where Donegal is or that Derry and Londonderry are not two separate places

      They would want to start building new housing in Scotland when the voting is done because they’re not staying here.

      There can be no concessions for the inevitable
