Interesting developments.

Initially I thought things might get awkward for Boris Johnson but then I still think he is expecting a no deal in trade talks with the EU(all 27 have to agree), hence why he put an end date on negotiations. There could still be negotiations later when all sides realise what issues a no trade deal will actually create for Germany, Netherlands and France.

How likely is a Border poll ? 

First call for MigV6 to come to the forum!!

I'm not sure how the Good Friday Agreement governs the implementation of a border poll, but as I understand things there has to be 2 referendums, one in the north and one in the south and both have to vote for unification for it to happen.

SF did surprisingly well.

I find Michelle O'Neill strangely attractive.

Do I need help?

Am I beyond help? :)

Extremely dominant or extremely submissive?

Both hold a certain appeal. ;)

I can't imagine Michelle O'Neill is particularly submissive to be honest.  :-\

Agreed. I imagine she is rarely without a whip. :)

Its been obvious for years that you are way beyond any help.
Its weird being the same age as old people !

I suppose it shouldn't come as a great surprise that 20 odd percent of voters in the republic would cast a vote for people who either are, or are supporters of the murderers of many innocent people.
They will no doubt be involved in the Government now and will make some noise about a referendum on Irish unity.
I suspect though (and also hope) that they are astute enough to realise that to make a serious play for that at the moment would be a mistake.
If they want a properly united island of Ireland they need to wait until they have a serious majority for it in the North, and the generation who remember what the IRA did are dead and gone. I f they are patient it may well come to them in the next 25- 30 years.
To do it now would more than likely cause very serious trouble from the (now just about) majority pro British population in the North.
Of course there is the risk that in 25 years time their beloved EU will have collapsed and the R.O.I will return to the (almost) third world country it was until it hitched itself to the EU gravy train.
If that happens, there might be a movement to rejoin the UK rather than drag the North away from it.
Whatever happens in the next week or so, I hope Varadkar is consigned to history. He is a detestable little pipsqueak.
He has always portrayed himself as a man of peace, but shamelessly used lots of anti British rhetoric to try to appeal to the lowest common denominator in his campaign to be re elected.
Personally, I would just build a huge wall and say fack em.
