#borderpoll — Public Fediverse posts

@petealexharris The #UK wants to be increasingly friendly with the European Union #EU. The EU includes the Republic of Ireland. The Republic of Ireland could, through the EU, make refusing a #BorderPoll extremely costly for the UK.

However, that would depend on the Irish government really wanting a #UnitedIreland, which, even though #SinnFein are currently in power, just ain't necessarily so.

Hard to refuse a #BorderPoll in #Ireland on these sort of numbers. Hard to approve a Border Poll without also granting #ScottishIndependence and #WelshIndependence referenda.

Tough choices for #Westminster

@thecommongreen

There goes the Good Friday Agreement, if God forbid any of these nutters get into power! As the #ECHR underpins the entire Agreement.

So like Johnson, who left NI in the CU for goods to get #Brexit done. Will #Jenrick destroy the NI peace process so he can be mean to people who don't look like him or will he announce it is time to get rid of Northern Ireland and start calling for #BorderPoll

It can't be an equal union when it was formed at the end of a sword! Also, not equal, if you can't exercise your right to #self-determination about your constitutional future without permission of an #English man or woman.

I think #NI will be away before #Scotland. #Brexit broke everything & it isn't for fixing. Also we have the #UN protected international peace agreement to allow us our #BorderPoll

I think with demographic changes here, the growth of the middle ground

@JorisBohnsonPM

Oh I have a very different form of government in mind for #NI

After #brexit, I don't care what colour the government is! I want them to set out the conditions for #BorderPoll to be called. Then along with the #NI Assembly start preparing a #whitepaper & forming #citizens assemblies - to prepare what a New Ireland will look like.

When the vote is called, we should know what we are voting for. Plus we should aim to win it. No repeat of the #Brexit nonsense.

@samueljohnson

In splendid isolation in 21st century. Thanks to Ireland having close relationships with the EU & America, they were supported against a malicious British Government & their toxic agenda.

I think we all can see what the direction of travel is for the calling of a #BorderPoll. What comes after is anyone's guess.

One thing it won't be happening is Ireland 'rejoining' the UK or the Commonwealth.

@harriettmb
100% Harriett. The more the world see the #DUP for what they are the better. Unionism's days of running this place are over. What we are watching is the usual suspects trying to hold onto the dying of the light. What happens next with #Stormont, will be on the heads of Jeff and the DUP. If they are left outside then that is on them. When the #BritishGovernment announce a #BorderPoll, it will be the consequence of the #DUP making this place unworkable. #NIpolitics

take some time and listen to this if you want some insight into Northern Ireland border poll question. I find many non-Irish (including myself) only have vague ideas about what is going on.

#NorthernIreland #Ireland #BorderPoll

N.Ireland would vote decisively against a united #Ireland if there was a #BorderPoll, according to an Ipsos opinion poll for a new research project into North-South relations and political views on the future of the island.

The poll shows almost twice as many voters who expressed a preference want #NorthernIreland to remain in the #UnitedKingdom.

In the Republic, however, there is a majority of more than four to one in favour of unity, according to a simultaneous poll.

Latest LucidTalk poll:

SF 32, SDLP 7, AÚ 1, PBP 1 = 41% UI

DUP 27, UUP 9, TUV 5 = 41% UK

AP, GP, Ind = 18% (all to play for)

We're heading towards the point where any British SoS will no longer be able to justify avoiding a #borderpoll
