Re: A united Ireland???

I wouldn’t think so

Those that voted brexit will still want brexit so will vote no

Totally the wrong time for a referendum on an United Ireland

But the Protestant community are no longer in the numerical majority in many parts of Northern Ireland and may not be in overall numerical majority.

Since Northern Ireland is part of the UK, you'd need to have a UK Passport to vote?

Brexit is not the issue, if the UK crashes out of the EU, as I posted originally, the issue then will be the existence of Northern Ireland per se as a separate province, and as I previously pointed out, the protestant Community can no longer rely on having the numerical majority.
