Tiocfaidh BS: Fate of the North of Ireland (60* d) RE: BS: Fate of the North of Ireland 26 Aug 05


I saw a quote from the Irish Times once: 'The Referendum went exactly the way most people hoped it would'

The upwardly mobile middle-class.... in this upwardly mobile society are not looking to the tight-mouthed old men for direction.
Nor are they looking for their restrictions.

The North of Ireland is small enough in electoral terms to have 3000 voters make an enormous difference to the political makeup of the place.

The recent waxing of the DUP's moon will be short lived, as people embrace the 'freedoms' brought about by the GFA and the 'RA's Statement of Cessation.
'Unionists' are streaming Southward to Dublin, to wait in the Passport Office for 8 hours to get what they have always been entitled to.

Just think of Ireland as a Housing Estate, less than half the size of London, and you begin to get the picture.
