The Act of Union 1800 is a critical document in the formation of the modern United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

OMG ..................... It's 2018 not 1800. You guys really need to chill out. We in ROI really, really, really, do not want a United Ireland.
Honestly, I'm certain the friggin shinners would not be able to rattle up a 30% vote for united Ireland.
Neither Fianna Fail, or Fine Gael would go for it either.
Older fogies (like me for instance) who you might think may have a teary eyed notion about the fourth green field, in general have TOTALLY gone off the idea.
My kids generation in their twenties would be appalled at the notion, unless a BIG majority in NI clearly wanted it and voted for it.
Yes, I know the shinners exist, and a lot of people down here who actually work for a living, and pay taxes etc, are really wary of these clowns.
Thankfully ......... Mary Lou made a big faux pas in the presidential election, and I'm hopeful their electability for the Dail, has peaked!!!
Anyway has Arlene and the boys enough "cop on", to get themselves out of the corner they have put themselves into, by putting some sort of
spin on TM's latest few concessions from the eurocrats . https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-to-align-with-eu-rules-on-trade-of-goods-doc

Would you say the same to an American who reveres their founding document?

What was Mary Lou's faux pas?

Seemingly an unwritten convention that parties don't stand against a sitting president seeking re election?
She also seem to cause a minor row at some Irish parliament event celebrating the anniversary of women having the right to vote.

Yes, when it has archaic rubbish like:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

The Provisionals were the only party to officially put forth a candidate in the election, the rest were technically independents.
Apart from SF and People before Profit (who declined to support anyone) most of the southern parties supported the incumbent's reelection bid.
tell me what the eu constitution consists of ?
seems to many its
the government of the people by a government of unelected elites to rule over the plebs
sorry abe

Brexit: DUP may revisit confidence and supply deal, says Foster
Brexit: DUP may revisit confidence and supply deal, says Foster
Wow. The gate keeper, threatens to close the gate after the horse escapes. Sounds like classic DUP strategic thinking.
Tony Connolly RTÉ, best Brexit commentator bar none, summarises the catch 22 situation created by the DUP, for themselves, for the economy of NI and for the union itself.
Wouldn’t a true unionist, with a business outlook and mindset, be absolutely gobsmacked at what has come about.!!!
Brexit and the DUP: Triumph or disaster?

Unless Labour mps put country above party it looks like a no deal. No deal is another referendum announced after 31 March or another election. My guess it's either this deal or no deal ultimately leading to remaining. Watch pop goes northern Ireland bbc2,it bring back memories of how bad this place actually was. Sadness. I was happy with the status quo. Up there with Tony c are laura kuenessburg and katya Adler . Plenty of time for all 3.
