@DerSchwarzBaron I think it’s important to distinguish between strongest and largest economies. The size of an economy is not necessarily a measure of its strength, nor does it reliably reflect the quality of life enjoyed by its citizens.
@Logan_ology Honestly, I can’t make sense of what you’re saying. It’s like you don’t realise that Northern Ireland is divided. It doesn’t have a singular identity. What culture and community are you referring to? Yes I agree the people are great but their hearts don’t want the same thing.
@irish_news This 23billion is based on a overnight equalisation and the republic essentially agreeing all liabilities transfer with the British getting a clean walk away from the shit show they presided over. No way is that going to happen when the adults join the conversation.
@Paulderby34 You’re talking nonsense. The 25b scenario is a worst case scenario where everything is equalised on day 1 and all liabilities pass to Dublin. Thats not going to happen. There will be a negotiation with London on a viable and fair transition.
@ExBusinessman@GaelicChudsRise No need to equalise on year 1. That would be ridiculous. It would be like a giveaway to every citizen in the 6 counties. It would help secure votes in favour. Imagine knowing you are a nurse or police offer and that with unification you would get guaranteed increments.
@garrethmcdaid Just be honest and say you are a partitionist rather than make lame excuses. Ireland doesn’t stop at the border. Unification can be a catalyst for something better north and south. It takes visionary people to recognise that. Obviously you don’t fall into that category.
@MBrowne02496492@eugenereid Unionists only argument is we are so economically dysfunctional you can’t afford us will be unpicked and also expose to a British audience how utterly entitled unionism is.
@Murphy6rcj@_GrainPrints_@thejournal_ie Maybe inform yourself of the facts before spouting nonsense. The pension is higher in the republic and healthcare outcomes are superior. In the north it’s universally free but waiting lists are ridiculous and even seeing a gp can take up to two weeks.
@Sourbake2@BBCNewsNI Scott Bradley says the Irish Diaspora is waning. Go to America. Ireland is part of the cultural fabric of the USA. That isn’t going to change. Also that has nothing to do with FDI investment in Ireland. FDI in Ireland continues because it’s successful business.
