I realize I am on thin ice saying this as an Englishman, but I mean it dispassionately - in every poll the plurality of Northern Irish people want to remain in the UK and the Good Friday Agreement states that if the majority ever want a United Ireland then the Secretary of State has to call a binding referendum.
Is that poll only for all the Irish living on the stolen land, or does the poll include the settlers too?
I’m sure all the Americans want to stay in the US when there’s a survey, but the results will be completely different when only natives are asked for their opinion.
Same with Tibet. There are so many Han Chinese there now, they would vote to stay with China if a poll was ever allowed.
Sorry mate, but it’s such an English thing to say: “We colonized it and made sure the majority are settlers so if there ever would be a vote it will be in our favor.” Just give back the stolen land mate. Don’t follow in the footsteps of your brutal colonial ancestors. Be better than that.
