Can't help feeling that a United Ireland could be seen by unionists as a reversal of the situation for the unionist tradition that the nationalist tradition now faces? is joint sovereignty not the end game?, happy to be shouted at here or educated if that's how you see it or ignored if I'm being really irritating :) Are we simply saying that London administrates NI when there is a unionist majority and Dublin administrates NI when their is a nationalist majority. Who's willing to enforce this pure form of democracy? that's a interesting question surely?, <br /><br />Can the Republic fund the north alone? does it want to? The Dublin government might feel happier to make a annual financial contribution to a joint sovereignty arrangement, but would no way match the British contribution, The Dublin contribution might just reach a billion euro's annually never mind a billion pounds. Understand the NI economy is getting stronger, but will need serious financial support for the medium term at least. <br /><br />I'm hoping you will approve this comment and engage with me on my concerns keeping in mind I would love to see a Joint Sovereignty NI, but would also love to see a serious nationalist debate on how unionists would view what is for them a major step.<br /><br />L<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021881758028552806.post-15838198055008465062013-08-25T00:07:25.871+01:002013-08-25T00:07:25.871+01:00The border poll should give people the option of j...The border poll should give people the option of joint sovereignty and the voter gets two boxes to cross. Both countries would then have to agree everything and set up joint military. However the last thing it needs is UN peacekeepers etc creating a situation that never ends like Cyprus.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021881758028552806.post-61134543055186396712013-05-10T23:50:56.826+01:002013-05-10T23:50:56.826+01:00Sorry for the delay with this post Enda, I've ...Sorry for the delay with this post Enda, I've been wanting to reply but did my shoulder in!<br /><br />I think your 2nd last stanza is on the money.
