Future for the British Isles?

[gaelic cowboy]

Found a funny little piece on the BBC, called 32 County Paisley.

Having had a serious political career as a hardline politician, then adopting a more moderate stance, it seems Ian Paisley is using his semi-retirement to have some lulz with a bit of RL trolling.

'Tis top trolling, a ridiculous idea with just enough seriousness to get it taken seriously at first, before he notes that "another king did that at a certain famous watering place that I will not mention here today" (lmao), then compares himself to Jesus. What a guy.

But the issue of the changeing borders and the relationships of the states in the British Isles is a relevant. I remember something similar was discussed a while ago with Beskar's Viking Invasion map with the fortified parliament on the Isle of Man, and there are more confederal solutions for how things could work, as opposed to having strictly centralised states based in London/Dublin.

Ireland could be incorporated into a conferal arrangment retaining some powers at Dublin, but it's probably not going to happen, even if they need bailing out. But it might look more feasible with the rising nationalist movements in Scotland/Wales. There could be an arrangement similar to that seen in Spain.

Or maybe the regions of the UK will break of completely. Or maybe Northern Ireland could be incorporated into Ireland, given the declining unionist majority. Or maybe there could be a confederal Ireland, with Munster/Leinster/Connaught/Ulster, or maybe just reserve some power in Belfast from Dublin.

There are many possible solutions, but what is best?

Hold on are you being serious

(fixed it for you)

We have work to be doing here and bills to pay now we don't have time for religious conflict. Hence the running at the minute for our President after the current one steps down has Senator David Norris an openly flamboyant homosexual and Church of Ireland member as a popular choice.

We may be a vassal of Germany now my good man but that does not mean were about to accept a monarch as head of state.



Sorry we much prefer this fella Ajai Chopra from the IMF, thats him there with the brown shoulder bag walking the streets of Dublin.
