1: The people of Northern Ireland have to want a united Ireland before there is any referendum on any change. What any political party says on the matter is irrelevant.

2: The question before the Scots remains the same as it did in 2014 when they said NO to independence. Scotland's biggest trading partner will still be England {80% of Scotland's trade}, there is no short term prospect of a massive hike in the price of oil, Scotland will have to apply for membership of the EU and they will have no interim currency but under current EU rules they would ultimately have to take on the Euro.

Perhaps DMcG will have some comment on people accepting the democratic will of the people, he certainly had fairly definite views on that when he thought that the vote would be to Remain.
