Generally speaking Northern Ireland gets ignored in national polls which are confined to England, Wales and Scotland. This is because the party structure in the province is very different with most people voting on sectarian lines.

No wonder Putin backs Brexit.
Star Trek is always right, a vast political and military union and alliance is the way to go.
But it's going to be hard for the DUP and ERG opponents to switch their positions without having some face-saver to hide behind. I just can't see where that face-saver will come from at the moment tbh.
Must I remind you Starfleet’s finest captain was a Frenchman.
Which is one of those things which is true until it isn't.
I suspect 'it's up to them' would be the majority view.
IF the WA does fall, however, and May is determined there is to be No Deal, fine. Let her propose to the Commons the revocation of A50 and the cancelling of Brexit - let it be done in her name and that of the Conservative Party so every LEAVE voter will know exactly who to blame for us still being in the EU.
By quiet use of judicious abstention.
By the way, on the figures of the NI Poll, the DUP would do best to back remain. I think the two issues need to be kept separate. It is quite possible to be a conscientious Leaver while also respecting Ireland's and NIs right to self determination
Plus much of the country would qualify for all that lovely Objective 1 EU funding again!
If the criteria are satisfied, the Gov should hold that border poll. It might well make life more complicated within GB, making a GE inevitable and possibly increasing the likelihood of Scottish independence but honouring the GFA is what has made the backstop such a mess.
The Gov can’t very well say it is honouring it’s obligations under the GFA by proposing a backstop if it doesn’t honour its obligation to hold a border poll.
The fact that the ROI can’t possibly integrate the North will change many prople’s minds I suspect
Perhaps Kirk is better than Picard on one front.
That’s why Wales voted Leave is it ?
Maybe what NI needs is a good dose of the Celtic tiger economy.
Mr Dancer, Duet was the best episode in the first season by far.

Because consumption per head in the UK is at 114 compared with 93 in the RoI (100 being the EU average):

Also it had Garak, who was the best supporting character of any series.
But I mainly wanted to say how much I enjoyed your previous thread header. Thank you.

Just before his death he told us he was working part-time as a kitchen porter, and working towards getting into full-time employment. We were also helping him to get into a night shelter whilst he secured a full-time job.
I liked the Jem Hadar and Weyoun though.
Yep - “the Project” is if you are a committed europhile. Give the people of NI the choice. If they vote for a United Ireland, and the ROI has an unqualified obligation to unify the two parts, unification and the problems that come with it becomes their problem.
If not, NI is very welcome to stay in the U.K, at least as far as I am concerned. That’s democracy.
Mr. Meeks, yeah, the Ferengi nonsense wasn't great. But nothing's perfect.
Well. Maybe the fourth series of Babylon 5.
For two days, an airport is shut down. The drone (or drones) is not shot out of the sky but just stops appearing. No individual or group claims responsibility. The operator is not, as far as we know, found and arrested. And yet from one day to the next, the airport is declared safe for flying.
It is most odd.
If you want really bad sci-fi though, look no further than Doctor Who. We recently watched the first episode of the new series and it stank. Nothing to do with the person playing the doctor; just the writing. It was nonsense from start to finish.

It is time the subsidy junkies in the North mended their ways.
If not, NI is very welcome to stay in the U.K. in my opinion. That’s democracy.
After all, we won't be able to buy tickets in it after March 29th will we?
We're definitely not being told something.
Though those people are less sure as to why.
It is likely the company who have developed this tech will be in line for billions of pounds worth of contracts worldwide
It’s clear they want a hard border and are stupidly short sighted .
I had to laugh listening to LBC when a Leave caller rang up moaning they’re going to lose their freedom of movement and had wanted to retire to Spain ! Because of course some Brits think they’re special and stopping FOM was only going to be for EU nationals, all they had to do was wave their blue passport and the world was their oyster !
That’s the thing Leavers don’t understand , normally votes don’t remove other peoples rights but Brexit did and that’s why there’s no chance of the country coming together .
Brits will now be second class citizens of Europe , less rights and freedoms . Thank heavens my parents were born in an EU country and I can remain a proud citizen of the EU .
What a tragedy for those who aren’t that lucky especially younger people who were completely betrayed by many of their grandparents who should be utterly ashamed !
It does not take a massive stretch of the imagination to wonder if he has plans to cripple the economy even more if a No Deal Brexit occurs. What better way for hostile states to the UK to cause further shocks to the economy than close all the big airports down with drones operated by Russian agents or private contractors? Its cost to them maybe £10,000 for the equipment and the man power very little. Its cost to our economy massive!
A No Deal Brexit will wreck the economy and the economic fallout will leave the UK less able to protect itself from hostile states.
As you are such a fan of how the Celtic tiger runs their economy should we copy the real austerity they went through?
Talk to people from Ireland Foxy - you might be surprised by what you hear.
Here's someone else who caused chaos at Gatwick:

This scene, given the blatant sexual innuendo at the end.

I have never heard him mention the subject or politics before and he added he would not be able to vote for any party at present
I expect the next 17 days will see a big move to remain and a referendum and brexit last, and only chance, is TM deal, but I doubt it will get past the amendments
My prediction for 2019 is an extension to A50, a referendum and conclusive vote to remain in the EU which will see a huge uplift in the economy from the early summer

Is there a word for this relationship?
Yes, there would be short term hiccups, and quite possibly some population movements*, but resolving the legacy of colonialism would be a step forward for both our islands.
*Some of my own ancestors were Irish Presbyterians from the 26 counties.
Look to recent statements from the Chief officer of the Port of Dover on their inability to function in a hard Brexit. If you have all the ports gridlocked, then the airports are shutdown the economy will be severely impaired.
Given the UKs present relations with Russia it is not inconceivable that this sort of attack on our infrastructure might be co-ordinated with the biggest self-imposed hit to our economy in years.
How incompetent are the "powers that be".
