RIP Ian Paisley

[Greyblades]

Let's see where the Scots-Irish Orangemen go after the referendum - if it comes to a "YES" win. Right now, they support continued Union; what will happen if Scotland becomes an independent nation? What do Scots-Irish believe in then? Will it rupture their coalition with the Anglo-Irish?

How can Scots, in Ireland, rationalize demanding that NI remain part of the Union when their own homeland isn't even a part of the Union anymore? What do they do!??!? Where does the vestigial Unionist movement go with Paisley dead and Scotland de-unionized? Into the Orange Turd Bucket and out the door!

As much as I respect the UK - there is something delicious to this stuff. For a libertarian/American/Gael; this is too good to be true.

They're not in the union because they have no way out they're in it because they dont want to leave and one group now wanting to leave wont automatically open the floodgates. If it did the troubles wouldnt have ended and the refurrendum wouldnt be such a close thing. Your assumption that everyone is in the union because they had no choice and will jump at the chance is frankly insulting.
