Here's a simpler solution that includes both parties: Ireland leaves the shithole that is known as the UK.

The problem with that is that the government of Ireland cannot admit to its population that it cannot afford to take on the burden of Northern Ireland from the UK (although its currently in the best position it has even been to do so). Northern Ireland costs the rest of the UK about £7bn a year. Even with the drop on value of GBP that is about EUR 7.7bn. Irish GDP is EUR 340bn, and at the moment its basically spending neutral so does not have a budget deficit. Uniting Ireland at the same level of support for the north as the British government supplies Northern Ireland, immediately gives Ireland a budget deficit of circa 2% (which is below the EU limit so that is ok) and gives Dublin the security and sectarian headache that is Ulster.

Well, it is indeed the best time to run a referendum in the north and do this. It's just causing unnecessary bureaucracy and issues. UK is one of the worst shitholes that we have nowadays, the Irish would benefit from the change. Cheesy

Such a move would cause minor market turmoil for sure.

Name one of the best shitholes, and who the fuck is "we"?

Indian Subcontinent.... India, Pakistan and Bangladesh Grin
