Should Northern Ireland become a sovereign nation or reunite with Ireland?

Question

Why? I am of both English and Irish decent. I love England, as a country, but I do not agree with their methods and tactics. What do you consider to be the right thing to do?

NI had its own PMs from 1921 to 1972 and now they are being called to devolutionize again. If they are able to sustain their own government today, like they did 30 some odd years ago, shouldn't they become their own sovereignty? BTW, they have the means to support their own economy.

Answer 1

I would love nothing more than to see Northern Ireland rejoin with it republic brothers and sisters. However, as with the problems in the Middle-East, there are just too many variables in the way of keeping peace from happening. Religion is the first and obvious one, though you mustn't forget that religion has and always will be used as a tool in political warfare so in my opinion that is not the underlying reason. Politics is the next most obvious reason for the split between the North and the Republic. Politicians, on both sides of the border (and not all of them) are using the rift between the two sectors to gain more power and influence (and not just in Ireland and England). However, it is of my opinion that the main reason for the division between the North and the Republic is due to the fact that people of the Irish Nation are quickly losing their cultural Identity. The children growing up in Ireland now have now real connection between themselves and their culture (excepting the ones that denounce all members of the Irish race as worthless drunks that are good to have at your party, providing there is a plenty of beer and whiskey). Sure there are some cultural ties left (i.e. Waterford Crystal, Blarney Castle, the Celts, etc.) but children in the modern Irish Education System are not getting enough information on where it is that there culture stems from. You can easily draw a line of direct comparison between the children and teens of Ireland to those of the United States. For example, children and teens form gangs, clicks, clubs, etc. so that they have something to identify with, something to call theirs with a sense of pride (no matter how insane, dumb, or just plane ignorant these social phenomenon may be). But a little over a hundred years ago in America, people were forming the equivalent of a gang but via cultural background (i.e. if you are from Italy you socialized with Italians, etc.) This lack of cultural identity is not always a bad thing. If used correctly it can rear a caring, compassionate person who has no need for the concept of cultural clashes or racism. However, more often than not this vacuum of space that used to be cultural identity is used by dogmatists and propagandists to achieve their own end. Which is what England is doing to the people of Northern Ireland. So in my honest opinion I feel that it would be a gravely immoral and unethical thing if Northern Ireland were to break and be a sovereign nation, because the lack of cultural identity is already such a problem that to break away from what little Culture you have left would mean the death of a civilization.

Answer 2

It would be economically unfeasible for Northern Ireland to become a sovereign nation in its own right.

The question is perhaps not whether Northern Ireland should be reunited with Ireland but rather whether Ireland would want ot subsume Northern Ireland within its economy and assume governance of an area whose population is both predominantly Protestant and pro British.

Answer 3

In the 21st century EU without borders, your question is about 15 years outdated. Did you ever even considered that it might stay part of United Kingdom? Or that maybe Republic of Ireland is not interested in joining in with Northern Ireland, because it might disturb their sound economics and burden the country? Yes, 15-20 years ago I would fully support idea of reuniting with Republic of Ireland. Now, I can't see what good would it bring to Northern Ireland to become sovereign country.

Answer 4

Before Ireland can beome a sovereign nation, England must first recognize that sovereignty and get out of Ireland.

Answer 5

Northern eire purely cant arise with the money for that, turning out to be autonomous isnt ordinary, look on the republic, we count number on a range of of overseas products and facilities to save going, look on your foodstuff cabinets, I guess a minimum of 10 issues on your kitchen are imported ingredients. Google and Yahoo both have their eu headquarters in Dublin. both overseas organizations, there is not any corporation it is generating severe call for technological or engineered products it is administered by or owned by an Irish corporation. That;s the position the destiny lies, The republic is sixty 3 years previous this twelve months and we haven't to any extent further all started to be a minimum of 50% autonomous. So for Northern eire to do it ought to take plenty longer by way of the undeniable fact that is smaller.
