Leaders of the governing pro-independence parties in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland will meet in Cardiff on Monday to sign a joint declaration calling for independence referendums, two days after President Donald Trump said he would "love" to see a unified Ireland.
As of Sunday, Scottish First Minister John Swinney of the SNP, Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth of Plaid Cymru, and Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O'Neill of Sinn Fein are set to sign a memorandum of understanding calling for referendums on their nations' constitutional futures.
The three will meet as party leaders rather than in their government roles.
The gathering marks the first time pro-independence parties have simultaneously held power across all three devolved nations, following Plaid Cymru's breakthrough as the largest party in the Welsh Senedd in May.
The meeting comes two days after Trump, sitting next to Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin at Farmleigh House in Dublin, broke with decades of U.S. neutrality on Northern Ireland's constitutional status. "I don't want to cause any problems, but I'd love to see it unified," Trump told reporters, adding that unification was inevitable and might as well happen now.
Trump later acknowledged at the U.S. ambassador's residence that the question had no simple answer before traveling to his Doonbeg golf resort for the Irish Open.
The Northern Ireland Act 1998, which implements provisions of the Good Friday Agreement that helped end three decades of sectarian conflict known as the Troubles, authorizes Britain's secretary of state for Northern Ireland to call a border poll.
The law requires the secretary to call one if it appears likely that a majority of voters in Northern Ireland would support leaving the United Kingdom and joining a united Ireland. Previous American presidents avoided taking sides.

Serves the UK right. Over a hundred years of mismanagement. They lost the Empire, now the home islands are going to Balkanize themselves. But at least they have a ton of Muslims now.
3 new flavors of islamocommist nations. As if the Caliphate of Uk wasn’t bad enough.
But would England be allowed to fly its flag?
or 3 mini crusades breakout.
> Serves the UK right. Over a hundred years of mismanagement. <
True that.
Now here’s the interesting thing. We are going down that exact same path. The UK is just ahead of us on that path.
Will we learn from the UK’s mistakes?
Not a chance.
Please, please, please do this. As a former Englishman, we are all sick and tired of carrying those other wanna be socialist nations. With their dead weight removed, England will be a prosperous center-right country in no time at all.
One thing though, we have to rebuild Hadrian’s wall.
Nations which abandon basic Judeo- Christian morality, ethical principles —- and which start attacking/ discriminating against believing Christian’s and Jews —- discover FAFO / karma can be quite fast. Fair or not, this also goes for countries with immoral Ruling Elites that promote, enable, or abide such evil — even their remaining good citizens/ subjects wind up suffering with this inevitable punishment.
England would be better off without them.
I think separation is better for everybody. Statists in Scotland will get the statism they want, as they won’t be saved by the voters who vote for rightwing candidates. Once they experience big government, a few might change their minds and become rightwing voters.
Grammar and spelling police here: “Referenda,”
not “referendums.”
All gonna compete for who can bring in the most muzzie turds the fastest.
I thought my family would be safe on the Orkneys. Nope. The home office dropped off dozens of African turds in the local hotel. Anyone who complained about the rampant criminality of said turds was arrested by obedient self hating native white constabulary.
I was listening to a black podcaster the other day. She said “whites must be taking stupid pills if they are so smart. Because no other race is gleefully committing suicide like white folks.”
Actually, it'll work out better.
England may remain Islamic but Scotland may remain Scottish, etc.
You see the same thing with Serbia and Bosnia.
We are competing for s hole status. It is just a matter of what kind of s hole. A squatty Aztec Mayan s hole or a muzzie African s hole. Which end of the diversity turd is cleaner?
The Gaels are acting up.
If the Celtic regions of the UK can rid themselves of muslims, well and good!
Otherwise no!
Who gets to keep the Malvinas?
“Who gets to keep the Malvinas?”
One thing that crossed my mind is they become a territory of the USA. I think they will be strongly inclined for this when the UK starts forcing muzzies on them.
As a territory they would have USA protection and no income taxes. They also have up to several billion barrels of recoverable oil.

The Malvinas will never become American territory. They would revert back to Argentina if the UK were to give them up.
“They would revert back to Argentina if the UK were to give them up. “
They will. They would not be reverting. Argentina today is not what it was when when the UK was a powerful nation.
President Trump’s endorsement will be the swing point of Argentina.
Right now, there is a oil venture with Israel and the UK. The UK. The UK has been playing an ass toward both Israel and the USA. President Trump has said so.
Trump: “It is too Far.”
