"No Jim. The Unionist community wanted to be in and the Nationalists wanted to be out, so the line was drawn to please as many people as possible."
Gerrymandering is a fact -
To make such yor ridiculous claim possible would require a referendum
The original decision was to partition the whole of Ulster in line with the Loyalist demand "Ulster says No"
They did the math and realised the other three counties would give a majority to the 'Taigs' so they dropped three - simple s that.
How do you claim the will of the people was sought - issuing mobile phones maybe
Please do not be stupid
