Been lurking here for quite a while and I have to say that Jim does seem to want it both ways - one the one hand complaining bitterly (and rightly, IMHO) about British involvement in the affairs of the Irish people, but on the other wanting the British to vote on their destiny.

Seems only right and fair that that decision should rest solely with the people of the island of Ireland.

Unless, of course, you want the British involved in the vote because you know that the majority of us on the mainland would support a united Ireland, so the Republican vote would be hugely reinforced and the (albeit slight) possibility of the 6 counties remaining 'British' would be removed?
