Most British people are ignorant about Irish history in general, myself included. My view is if the majority in NI want to be part of ROI, then they should be. This Brexit border issue has opened the eyes of many people in the UK as to what the DUP and the Unionists believe.
Yes, I was wondering about that... Can't Ireland be a whole Ireland again? I'm fully aware of the long history of conflict between the Catholics and Protestants but it seems that a whole generation has moved on from it so maybe now it's possible...same way it happened for Germany...

Northern Ireland voted overwhelmingly to remain in the EU by nearly 56%, and Scotland voted even even more strongly to remain by 62%. Overall GB voted to leave 51.9% to 48.1%. It’s self evident that those who voted to leave were not aware of how complex it would be to follow through with that decision, as May’s government has been working diligently for two years to make it happen, yet there seems to be no end in sight for those efforts. It is unclear how another vote would help, as another vote to leave would only keep the status quo, which is a mess. A vote to remain would relieve May’s government, but would likely alienate many who would still want to leave. Remaining may be a happier ending if GB could negotiate and change EU policies that caused them to take a vote in the first place. Whether that is possible is a mystery.
How UK became part of EU in the first place is bizarre to everyone outside the europe. No one outside the european continent thinks for a second that the the UK belongs to the EU. Should the Queen curtsy the EU commissioner, or the EU commissioner curtsy the Queen? How does that even work? Are EU citizens subjects of the Queen now? Is the sovereign Queen not sovereign any more? UK having a trade relation with EU, maybe. UK belonging to EU, what ?!
Too Day, perhaps you’re right. But in the USA we are so tightly polarized that even a 2% or 3% difference seems to be a clear winner. Next time I’ll choose my words better.
Kevin Duggan, no disrespect intended. Just presenting the facts with as little spin as possible. You’re right, though. I have no understanding of Social Credit Systems nor how that would affect elites. Please educate me.
Kevin Duggan, the Electoral College is what gave us Donald Trump. The popular vote went for Hillary Clinton. The Electoral College seems well intentioned, as it was supposed to guard against populism, though I doubt it has ever really had that effect. Rural states have the edge here because Electoral votes count more heavily in less populous states. Hillary won the more populated urban cities, but Trump won the rural areas.
I watched a Guardian video about Brexit and N Ireland and this same group of boys was interviewed. Lol don't tell me they're the only ones who have an opinion...

Sorry, wrong interpretation! Wonderful progress in many respect the past 20 years but London, totally thoughtless about their Northern Ireland colony, declare Brexit. "..the inability to take both sides needs into account.." - not sure what you mean. Every sector in Northern Ireland is opposed to Brexit, industry, farming, young people, universities...yet the DUP which had only the support of 28% of the NI population is determining the fate of NI but as Nicola Sturgeon pointed out this afternoon, Scotland as well. And 28% is less than 300,000 people!.
when you walk into sections of belfast with lots of protestants the murals are guns, the confederate flag, and swastikas... when you walk into catholic neighborhoods its gandhi, martin luther king, and peace murals --- think Im lying? google it that should tell you all you need to know about who is in the right in this conflict...
no offence, not sure if you're a young, naive or just plain ignorant, but as someone from the place with those walls (Belfast) I have to say its a lot more complex than black and white, good vs bad or who is right and who is wrong, especially if you're basing your support and judgements of a 400 year+ ongoing conflict based on who has the better paintings on brick walls... your stance is ludicrous to say the least, so instead of google street view into working class communities, I suggest you read Irish and British history books, it should tell you all you need to know about why we in Belfast live in such division.

Man, i am not even irish or scottish and i feel mad about this. I certainly wouldn't want another country to be making decisions for mine, especially if their decisions are going to affect us the worst.
NI isn't a country, it is a province that is part of the UK. Nobody else views them as British, and nobody really cares about NI. To English people, the place is so irrelevant it may as well not even exist. There was a poll among Brexit supporters that showed they would happily trade NI for Brexit. Nobody wants them, and that is a big irony, neither does Ireland. They can't afford to subsidise a parasitic province like the UK has to.
Reps from the irish government went to london b4 the referendum to leave to discuss northern ireland and the border and no one would see them. Someone even commented at the time to them whats that got to do with leaving the eu. I remember reading about it in the irish paper b4 the result and the irish politican saying he didnt know who to be more scared for Ireland or England. How is it possible to do something of that level and be so stupid about what its going to affect.
I'm seeing all these comments about how Northern Ireland should just join with the republic but as a Catholic in Northern Ireland, I'm here to say its simply not that easy. Our government known as stormont, which has failed to come to agreement and therefore is not even running, has two main parties DUP and Sinn Fein'. DUP, whom are the unionist party, are slightly bigger than the nationalist party, Sinn Fein. DUP wish to uphold the state of Northern Ireland and are for Brexit and against a United Ireland. They are in Westminster working with May. However, Sinn Fein, due to the fact that they have to swear and oath to the Queen, refuse to take their place in Westminster, leaving the Catholics of Northern Ireland unrepresented in Brexit and support United Ireland. These two uncooperative halves make it virtually impossible for anything progressive to take place as there are split sides to this backwards country today. Even after 30 years of war, they cant get it together and work it out. That stubbornness is the downfall of the country, no matter whose side your on. And in reference to a United Ireland, the good Friday agreement gives nationalists the right to have Irish citizenship and unionists the right to a British one. To join with the republic would in turn, take away a right of unionists, although it helps nationalists. There are many quandaries like this that stop any progress in northern Ireland as one side will always have a problem and the other side will have their problem solved.
The Joke about Brexit at the start was funny, but also wrong by omission. The Joke should be "the Englishman and the Welshmen want to leave, so the Scottish man and the Northern Irishman have to leave."

why is it a problem if there is a hard border? I would imagine Irish citizens on both sides will still be allowed through with minimal trouble, a very minor inconvenience. Perhaps it's more of a symbolic significance of the past than anything else.
Nope - you'll literally need something like a green card to travel back and forth over the border. It's not just an "inconvenience", also Northern Ireland would have gotten a substantial amount of funding from the EU. Also, we really should not undermine the symbolic significance of it. Even if it doesn't seem like a big deal to outsiders, to people living in the North that consider themselves Irish - who have been subjected to decades of violence and oppression - to be cut off from the Republic in this way is not just a minor inconvenience. I live 20 minutes from the border, and I work with people from the North who travel back and forth every day to our office, a lot of them by public transport - will people need green cards to get on a train to the south? Will they be let in? There are so many unanswered questions
Have you taken a look at the British border in Ireland up close? You can drive from Dundalk to Monaghan - both towns in the Republic of Ireland - and cross the border 4 times. In other places the border runs through villages, farms, business forecourts, and buildings. It has more crossings - the Irish military has put it at over 300 - than the entire eastern border of the EU. During the Troubles, tens of thousands of soldiers could not seal the border. A hard border is no minor inconvenience.
@@grandmavodka Not true at all. The UK and Ireland have a common travel area, citizens of both countries can live and work freely in the other, and be treated the same as citizens. There has never been the need for travel documents, and that will continue.
