Thread Name: Why should Britain remain in Ireland ?
Subject: RE: Why should Britain remain in Ireland ?
Wrong question.

Why should all Ireland not be part of England? Was conquered by Cromwell, no? That was quite a while back.

If Ireland (or any part thereof) can lawfully secede by revolution, why not Wales, or Cornwall, etc? Or indeed the Southern States from the USA?

Scotland is different because of the Act of Union.
