Scottish/Welsh/Irish nationalism is extremely relevant, they could reshape the whole British Isles.
    I cant believe your serious because your talking about doing away with my country to satisfy in the context of the island of Ireland a wish/dream of the minority population on this island. I can say hand on my heart I am willing to live in a society where Unionist traditions and culture becomes a part of my own, but I am not ever going to give up the Republic for a monarchy it really is a simple as that.

    Also lets get real here there is no chance of Wales or Scotland becoming seperate nations SNP may indeed have lots of Irish catholic emigrant voters but they cannot in and of themselves swing any vote even when taking into account the total Scotish Catholic numbers it is still not enough to break the Union. Wales has even less chance of leaving the Union than Scotland.

    True as long as there are indigestible populations in Scotland and the North of Ireland this question will crop up but it is my opinion it is merely a bag of bones being shook for political gain.

    Democracy is often actually at risk in my country due to instability in the North but the solution is not for us to do away with the Dail it is up to UUP/DUP to figure out how to live with Sinn Fein in the North.
