    How about having a referendum on it?
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

They also don't want a unified Ireland as even the Catholics in the North see they're onto a good thing with the >£10bn per year subsidy they enjoy. Southern Ireland can't afford integration financially, politically and socially
      Integrating East Germany was much harder, EU will help in this case

          • Eire leave the EU and agree a customs union with the UK.
          • Eire leave the EU and re-join the UK.
          • Eire agree with the UK that they’ll police each others border with real checks at external ports and simple electronic passes for freight at the internal border and with an open border for citizens on the ground in Ireland.

          I think the last will happen because there’s no way Eire will erect bricks and mortar border posts on the 1st November

            I doubt you'd accept the result.

              If there was a second referendum (which you seem to be against), would you accept the result?
