The ONLY solution that will work in Northern Ireland is for the Loyalists and Republicans to work together and create a power sharing executive with them both working together in their own country with the British government having nothing to do with it - We need a big big pay off from the British government for that to work though and they owe us after the shit they put Ireland through in the past.

I think we can both agree that the British Government don't even want Northern Ireland anymore, they just can't think of a viable solution for the people of Northern Ireland.

I'd like to see everyone in Northern Ireland, catholic and protestant working together for a common goal. This fighting and sectarianism has gone on for long enought in Ireland, time to work together and start achieving something positive

Also Ireland don't want Northern Ireland anyway, it makes no economic sense for them. They are one of the most prosperous countries in the EU right now, If Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland reunified it would be like East Germany & West Germany becoming Germany again, it would totally fuck up Irelands prosperous economy
