      I don’t think it’s too outrageous a thing to say, speaking as someone who would love a united ireland.

      My whole life it’s felt like we are always “5 years away from a referendum”.

      There’s plenty of work to do in the North to get the political will and to make it an attractive proposition for both sides of the border.

      The man who dispises nationlists,and everything to do with the north,refuses to hold a border poll

      He’s the largest remaining roadblock to it….if one of the American corporations told him to hold one, we’d have it by the weekend

    3. Hmm…very unpredictable what is happening in the UK. While his comment is not without validity, I would not be surprised if he is proven wrong. Who would have thought in summer of 1987 that the GDR would no longer exist in 1990?

      We’ll only get one shot at this, and we can’t afford a 48/52 Brexit type of outcome. Best guarantee for unity is to sort out our own house first. There also needs to be way more political grassroots across both sides of the border, rather than taking the nationalists for granted.

      We have to show the middle ground that unification will make things better for everyone, rather than just looking more satisfying on a map.

      Maybe you could actually, you know, do something about that?

      I would expect that if the major parties were serious about unification they would at a minimum be organised both sides of the border. To date only Sinn Fein has. Even from an optics perspective it’s important.

      They should, as others have said, set a clear framework as to how unification would work. Demonstrate that this has been considered and there is a workable plan.

      Engage not just those in support but the fence sitters and unionists.

      Same as any major project. Framework and planning with public consultation/discourse

      It was basically impossible to get a united Ireland before then anyway.

      There shouldn’t be a border poll until they’re fairly confident most people on both sides clearly want a united Ireland.
