Whether Northern Ireland wants independence, or union with the UK or Ireland, is up to them, a position fought for by the British. If the NI assembly votes for any of these positions, the UK parliament will support its right to choose.
But rather than that, your good self would rather impose a freedom on Northern Ireland as defined by you, which is severance from England. Thus overriding the political wish of the Northern Irish people. I'd like to know where you're from, since democracy and self-determination appear to be alien concepts to you.
