I've always been one for some sort of duel soveriegnty deal... although in practice the province should be able to run itself on a day to day basis.
Part of the problem with that is the collapse of NI's economy due to the troubles...

It's called the "Good Friday Accord". The UK doesn't ahve wholly sovereign rights in Northern Ireland anymore.

I know. Great isn't it?
Shame various idiots on both sides had to collapse Stormont (again) though...

I think the area is far better served to stay with the United Kingdom than become part of the backward and shameful political culture of Ireland.

Just interested in why you perceive Ireland to have a "backward and shameful political culture".

Because Ireland doesn't exactly have liberal abortion laws... yes migrendel really *is* like that... Roll Eyes
