Just out of curiousity - where does Northern Ireland fit into all this?

The major players, SF, DUP, etc - where do they all stand on Brexit?

I’m still under the belief that Brexit is more about negotiating changes in the EU than leaving outright. I think that’s how most Brexiters see it, as well.

On paper, I’m not opposed to the concept of the EU, as long as its’ focus is primarily on economic efficiency. But the current EU just has way too much power and control.

We shall see. But I won’t be surprised if the endgame is that Britain stays, but on more favorable terms.

Northen Ireland flipped so it now uncharted territory. The Independence party have 9 seats total to 8 for the Unionist. Seem Scotland and NI want to stay in the EU

Heck, we don’t know.
Last I heard of the Tories was when George Washington kicked them out of Virginia.
Now, it seems, they’re on our side...

Well, anyway, congrats to the Brits! Seems they’ve made a good choice.

Northern Ireland voted 56% to remain in the 6and that number has increased.

The pro Brexit DUP has lost two seats and there is a slim majority for reunification with the Republic.

As per boris deal, ni remains part of the EU customs union, and the customs border is in the Irish sea. This makes Irish reunification by 2025 much much more likely.

Smith, the Tories are on the side of little England, not necessarily the same “side” as the USA. They have their own interests to keep at the forefront
