Looks like you need a job in government BOTS with all due respect you have it totally wrong thinking the Irish government wants a United Ireland.

lol, thats just one facet, there are a load of others, and it doesn't really matter if they do or don't want it now, it has contributed to the whole shaping of the situation as we have it today. Rightly or wrongly, people are fearful of where things may go. Add the bureaucratic nightmare that is the EU with their own agenda, and even Spain, with theirs and the whole thing gets messed up even further.

Like I said earlier, Brexit, has very little to do with it in reality, it's just a focal point for "winning" a battle.

I'm not going to even attempt to get into the Spain situation because I don't know enough about it all. But regarding Ireland, do you really think it has nothing to do with economics for Ireland? I mean do you think we're all that moronic over here that we aren't worried about our trade and how it will effect us? We're a little Island in the middle of an ocean cut off from the rest of the EU now since the UK has left but you think we're not worried about how that will effect us and are only thinking about some lost romantic notion of a United Ireland? Ok then.

Ireland as an independent country chose to join the EU, its choice, and its staying there, that hasn't changed. I think what you are saying is that, that decision is only viable if the UK is too, which may be true, but it shouldn't involve them forcing the UK to be part of the club against their will. People need to compromise

No that isn't what I'm saying at all
