Strong speculation that Boris Johnson will pick the new NI Secretary from a list of three contenders: Anne Marie Trevelyan, Soldier F and the head of Oliver Cromwell.

I think his Wikipedia page was randomly edited to say who he supported and I'm not sure he is a paid up member at the New Den.

A UI not looking very likely at the moment based on this survey. |

Yet despite that only 52% would vote to remain in the UK. 19% 'don't know' is a pretty sizeable figure that you would imagine is also a moveable one based on future circumstances.

I'm looking at it a bit more closely and some of the results seem a bit dodgy. There's a sizable number of Nationalist not in favour of a UI

One of the more interesting results was that only 53% of those polled considered themselves either Unionist or Nationalist.

Identity doesn't depend on economics though. And for those who don't identify as either Unionist or Nationalist, changing state not a big deal for them. Which is to say, it would be a big deal for them and they're unlikely to want to jump into it unless they feel it's absolutely necessary because people tend towards inertia. What might make them feel it's absolutely necessary is open to debate but people have a way of normalising incompetent authoritarian governments to themselves. What would change things is a massive, industrial strength tabloid and wider media campaign in favour of Irish unification, but no such media exists in the wee six.

People in north already see how much financially better we are down here. Ok we have our problems with housing and health care but our standard of living and average wage is much higher than the occupied 6. Besides the unionist hardliners, the non knuckle dragger up there will go for the extra penny in his pocket before what colour flag he prefers.
