Sinn Fein are not a Normal Political Party

Enlighten me. IF (and I would see that as a huge if) the citizens of a 32 county Ireland voted in majority to rejoin the Commonwealth what is the "obvious reason" we shouldn't rejoin?

Oath of allegiance I assume.
Not sure if it's still a requirement though.

If the majority decided to discriminate against an ethnic minority would you agree to abide by the decision.

One of the reasons we have politicians is to stop knee jerk populist actions.

Let me understand you here, you think that even the suggestion that Ireland would rejoin the Commonwealth if the majority of her citizens vote in favour of doing so, not only should not see the light of day, but is akin to a suggestion to discriminate against an ethnic minority???

Have you been swallowing epoxy or something?

The democratic wishes of the people as expressed through the ballot box are what have guided this country on its way into the 21st Century. You can't cherrypick just because you mightn't like some of the majority decisions.
