DO U THINK IRELAND SHOULD BE 1 INSTEAD OF NORTHERN AND REPUBLIC?
I THINK IT SHOULD BE 1 BUT LEYS SAY IM A SUPPOURTER OF REPUBLIC
Imagine the complete "culture shock" of Northerners switching over to the Republic's rules. They'd be over the moon when they found there were no rates and that water is (at least for now) free - but they'd be up in arms about the fact a can of beer costs more than double here, that it would cost them €100 if they broke their arm, or about half that for a 5 minute consult with their family doctor if they were having recurring headaches etc, that the VAT is higher, that one certain health minister spent their daughter's cancer vaccine money on mars bars etc

Not really. I think globalisation and membership of the EU make nation-state boundaries irrelevant. I can't imagine a scenario where the creation of a united Ireland could happen without a return to violence, so no, I'd rather we remained seperate.

Most of us ignore the border anyway.
We also live happy in the knowledge that folk like No Surrender get apoplectic over tiny little things.ROFPMSL

The IRA tried for forty years to force the North into a United Ireland. It failed. Rather it strengthened the Northern Irish will to remain British. The defeat of the Ira then led to a referendum twice in 1998 and 2004. The results were 87% and 88% in favor of remaining British. The people there will never be forced against their will into a United Ireland. Even the Republics government has withdrawn its claim to N. Ireland in recognition of this in 1998. Perhaps the Republic might become a United Ireland as part of the Uk so its all united but British. I suspect most southerners would secretly favor this but afraid to speak out in case the Ira shot them.
