LongTimeLurker Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) On 01/02/2021 at 15:51, Dunfermline Don said: Other than the Unionist Parties in Ulster. Has there ever been a party in Eire advocating reunification with the U.K.? No, because most people who felt very strongly about wanting to still be British could always leave for NI or elsewhere in the UK so that they could be, but Orange Order aligned candidates (i.e. basically UUP under a cover name) did quite well for several decades in local elections in Donegal, Monaghan and Cavan. The last county councillor of that type stopped getting elected in Donegal as recently as 20 years ago and there was an independent TD in Donegal still being elected on that sort of basis up to the 1960s. Crypto-Unionist votes often tend to go to Fine Gael and that has resulted in there often being a Protestant Fine Gael TD from Monaghan and Cavan. One of them called Billy Fox was shot dead by the IRA in the 1970s, which hints at why people have probably never been hugely keen to raise their head above the parapet in the RoI on an issue like reunification with the UK. Too many nutters around with access to firearms to make it worth putting up with the aggro associated with chasing a quixotic lost cause.

She can buy a place on the Costa Del Sol from one of those that's been horsed out by Brexit. She'll be fine as a citizen of an EU Member State. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksburnDandy Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Kicking off in Belfast again and it’s only going to get worse. Definitely feels like Ulster is coming to boiling point, with the Unionist side being the main protagonists. Mindless thuggery and it really needs cross community efforts to get it under control again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
