Will we see Irish reunification in 2024?

Star Trek moment 😮
STAR TREK TIMELINE LET’S FUCKING GO
Aquilae…. Would you mind explaining to the class what happens in 2026 in the Star Trek timeline?
Honestly if that eventually leads to FALGSC I’d say it’s worth it in the long run
Part of me hopes it’s a documentary. Part of me is scared because I know where my life falls within that documentary.
I’m planning to join Khan. Can’t wait to be a hair metal super soldier
Star Trek was right
But apparently most people in the Republic of Ireland don’t want reunification. Can anyone familiar with the issue confirm?
I’ve heard similar. But it’s not that most don’t want reunification. It’s more of a concern for the logistics. Northern Ireland economy relies heavily on the public sector, and Ireland might not be able or willing to foot the bill. Which means that without socialism, the choice is framed as colony or collapse. The Irish government might be able to offer an alternative if it came to it. Make a transitional arrangement while private sector jobs are found or more public sector jobs in Ireland to balance things out. Probably not possible while it’s part of the EU, which might be tempted to sneak attack Britain but will probably be salivating over doing what it did before. This is very much an armchair position, though!
Well yeah, they don’t want unification because they think northern Ireland will become a burden on the republic. Perhaps things will change in the future.
I’m all for the breakup of Great Britain. It’d be nice if NI joined the republic and Scotland became independent… An empire spanning the globe and controling 25% of it reduced to England and Wales. A fitting end.
Obviously I want what’s best for the people of Ireland. That said I also really want Star Trek to have called this.
