This just proves the point that gerrymandering works. I wonder what the results would have been if they let the whole of the country vote on the Home Rule issue back in 1920 when England decided to split the country in two.

So why does America vote using states and not the population as a whole? Is that Gerrymandering or just the way it was done.

As you well know, most of Ulster WANTED to remain in the UK.
