[QUOTE="The Agrarian, post: 2709330, member: 3656"] There is currently little real interest in NI in leaving the union. We now have devolution of a sort. If we joined the republic of ireland, devolution would have to stay in order to keep the peace, as the Anglo-scots here would not accept a direct rule from Dublin. Can dublin afford to pay the block grant we currently receive? Very much doubt it. The Scots here are predominantly unionist in their outlook, despite sharing a common Scottish dissenting background. And the irish, for all the Republican bluster, know on which side their bread is buttered. The solution at the moment is probably about the most workable one we can have. Former irish Republican terrorists get to sit in government and have a veto over most things, and anglo-scots get to maintain the union, while there is an open border with the republic. Any change to this would likely bring trouble. [/QUOTE]
