No idea who he is, and I'm in favour of the eventual reunification of Ireland by widespread consent, but I'm just pointing out the practical difficulty of a population of under 5 million replacing a subsidy provided by a population of about 60 million. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Found an Eire poll from 2015 about unification. Probably a bit leading questions though. Commissioned by RTE and BBC. Here's another one from 2014 in NI by Lucid Talk whoever they are. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Ireland I'm getting the impression that British people are more keen on Unification than the Irish. Maybe Brexit will change all that. Edited February 9, 2019 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a large Hindu population that will definitely vote on this matter? Just asking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hear a while ago that Hari Krishna had made wild progress in Northern Irish communitehs so my best guess is their work is taking effect, and ex IRA and UDA men are walking the streets of Derry and Belfast in sandals trying to sell worn copies of the Bhagavad Gita and telling people to just chill out, nothing matters, stillness is the route to Nirvana. P.S. Having just understood your point, I assume the age groups would include people like myself with no religion, or refusing to declare one.

Billy Rubin Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I've got a few roaster on my timeline enraged by the 2040 project. Putting forward the idea that Ireland (southern, obv) will be receiving swaths of Turkish muslims with idiotic claims about overcrowding. Ignoring the fact that the 2040 project shows nothing but linear progress to grow the economy to population figures which are well below what Ireland housed pre-famine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frictionless invisible borders in Ireland will allow plenty of indentured Turks to guarantee service at the bars of Gleneagles for decades to come, rest be assured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
