The Next Uachtarán na hÉireann

"Vote Humphreys: I won't make a holy fucking show of the country." Is fairly uninspired but might be the way forward for her.

Called it weeks ago, if FF had picked some harmless old minister duffer like Dermot Ahern or Maire Geoghegan Quinn who'd campaigned on a platform of "I'll turn up at the matches and the ploughing and sign the forms but other than that ye won't even know I'm there lads" they'd have won in a landslide.

This is exactly the thing. If you want a united ireland, then that is an acceptance that you want cultural unionism as a major political force in the republic. In the ten years after any reunification chances are you could well have a tanaiste at least who comes from an orange background. If there was a unionist block controlling 20 odd seats in a reconstituted Dail.

A United ireland will be Brits in, rather than Brits out.

MLMD has said she would have no issue with the 12th been celebrated in a UI, Is that not accepting the OO?

I'm trying to remember where I saw this first - but it's fairly recent, and sums things up nicely.

To Free Stater curious types such as myself that delight in Brexit finally cutting us away from the UK, the idea of bringing back in 1M British people is a serious downside for our local politics here in Ireland. Would they be Eurosceptic? Bible bashing. More anti immigrant?

And that’s just the Shinners!

All joking aside, I think it’d be worth it but I’m bemused why the Fíor Gael crew are so blind to this. They’d be a serious political force in our country.

Not unless she allows yermon's face to be offered up on top of the bonfire.

Whisper it but it’s a great idea for a bank holiday.

Yeah, fuck that.. we'll have to get the Wolfe Tones out of retirement in reverse to pen a few songs.. numbers like

Come back ye black and tans
Let the Protestants sing
Dont go home british soldiers
Celtic Sashphony
Sean south of Garyduff


BRITS IN

She didn't say a sectarian celebration
