If you get bored this weekend, you can watch UK election results roll in.

Only highlights I know of:

Conservative party not doing well in England, probably due to poor optics of having parties during lockdowns.

Sinn Fein may take majority in NI over Brexit. This may eventually put Irish unity on the table.

I don't see any obstacles to Irish reunification. Neither North nor South are Christian these days. All of Ireland is atheist now.

I agree. Northern Ireland is a net drag on the UK, their shipyards are no longer critical to the UK, and the UK would be stronger without them.

There is no side to vote for in Britain. The conservatives make our Rino’s look tolerable. So voters don’t like anybody. They should have fooled them better rather than just show their fangs.

Yep. And Northern Ireland has become a smuggling channel for EU goods into the UK. The Chinese are the ship builders today.

Boris probably holds the modern era record for utterly blowing an election landslide mandate.

The Republic cannot afford “Norn” which gets billions in UK (English) subsidies.

You know nothing about the situation there. Unless you mean that the UK should jettison Northern Ireland to facilitate its own turn hard left?

Remember that NI was the last place either in the UK or the island of Ireland that had an abortion ban, and Westminster forced abortion on them.

No such thing as “reunification” so long as they remain a province of the EUSSR.

Boris is a Tino.

I don't see any obstacles to Irish reunification.

Two questions:

Should the people of Northern Ireland get to vote on it, or should they be forced back into the Irish Republic against their will?

Should the people of New Mexico be forced back into Mexico against their will?

I personally don't care what they do. Ireland is a mess. The UK is mess. If they wanted to fix things they'd have to start with getting rid of all the muslims.

New Mexico? I couldn't care less. Another mess.

Irish unity isn’t on the table. The SF vote didn’t increase over last time, the Unionist vote for the DUP collapsed as Unionists migrated to other Unionist parties like the UUP or the TUV or even Alliance.

Unionist voters still compromise a larger voting bloc than Nationalists/Republicans.
