The Irish are far from servants. They are equal members in the EU confederation and despite being <1% of the EU population, got the support of the other 26 non-UK EU member states to support Ireland in ensuring the UK abides by its promises in the Good Friday Agreement.

So instead of the UK steamrolling over ireland, the other 26 states said no, we are a united front.

This is in contrast to the UK where the will of the smaller nation of Scotland was overrun by the English will.

No.

Scotland got an independence vote. Your side lost. Deal with it. No further votes on the subject for at least a generation. Be thankful the English were so kind and civilized as to let you peacefully vote on the matter - most countries wouldn’t allow that to come up for a vote even once.

Ireland’s power within the EU was a problem for me. Why should my vote as a member of a more populated country count for less than somebody from Malta? Utterly absurd.
