Hmmmm lets see, the majority N.I. population voting to leave one of the major economic world powers to join a small country with a GDP less then some African and E.European nations.

Who lacks any major industries or businesses, but relies on some agriculture, a small amount of tourism, and its school leavers moving to England, Australia or the U.S. to find work.

Leaving to join a country with close ties to the Catholic church, with governmental corruption rife at all levels, and which is not a member of NATO or allied with the United States.

To unite with a people that rightly or wrongly, is perceived by N.I.s majority population, as being supporters of the people who kidnapped, tortured and murdered their family members, friends, neighbours and workmates.

This on top of the fact that that the majority population are incredibly patriotic about their being British.
To understand their mindset, as an American how would you feel if you were told that you were losing your U.S. citizenship to become forcibly Canadian.

Not too good eh ?

Now substitute Canadian with Albanian, which is a more realistic comparison.
To unite with a country that many people in N.I. would actively fight to the death with if unification was forced on them.

Personally I won’t be holding my breath waiting for that to happen.
