At present NI is in some sort of partnership with the rest of the UK. Albeit a strange one. If a partnership is to be disolved surely all partners should have a say.

The rest of the UK has to pay the cost of the results of the bigotry of the two sides involved in this partnership in the continual attrocities committed by both sides either in NI or, London, Manchester, Edinburgh, etc. and the general lawlessness in NI.

I've read so many of the posts to this thread I can't recall who said that the unionists would win a vote taken over the whole of the UK and NI. But I doubt that Trimle would win. We would all prefer things like better schools, hospitals services in general and less dead, injured and scared schoolchildren growing up to believe that life should be like this.
