What if the Nationalists become the majority in Northern Ireland in the foreseeable future? The Unionists can re-draw the border around three counties where they will constitute a majority and declare that 'Ulster' [with the backing of the British army] will never surrender.   That should give us another century or two of strife to be going on with, and the Tories will still have a faint ghost of their empire to get puffed up about.
