Is there any support in Ireland for it to join the United Kingdom again and the commonwealth or would that support be very small?

What do most Irish think?
>>
There is not a chance in hell of Ireland rejoining the UK, and if you went around Ireland asking they'd laugh in your face. It's like South Korea voluntarily rejoining Japan.

I'd sooner burn the country to the ground than rejoin the UK.

We had a Senator here call for us to think about rejoining the Commonwealth and he was pretty much told to fuck off by everyone else in the country.

>>74464021
>Ireland would be better off
No we fucking wouldn't. Northern Ireland left with about 60% of the entire country's industrial output, but now the Republic has 4 times NI's output with a little over 2 times the population.

We're wealthier than almost every other region in the UK. Joining it would mean we'd have to subsidise the Scottish, Northern English, Welsh, Southwestern English and Northern Ireland.

How in the FUCK would we be better off? We'd be poorer with less say in how our country is run.

If you think anyone gives a fuck about muh global relevance, you need your head checked.

The best you would get are Anglophiles like the Reform Group who want to join the Commonwealth and to have British citizenship but hardly anybody has heard of them let alone are they taken seriously.

The cultural similarity you see between Irish and English people is mostly out of laziness, carried over from the 19th century cultural destruction and the prevalence of English media. There is no real explicit desire to be closer to Britain.

Officially joining with the UK would be unnecessary tbqh. We already share intelligence, do joint military exercises, have a shared commitment to defend one another if attacked, Americans basically own half the Premier League, and we are single-handedly keeping half of all British actors and singers off the street.

Britain invaded and conquered their country, then treated them like second-class citizens while making a concerted effort to replace them with settlers and ruling them with an iron fist.

>>74463895
>UK
No we're ethnically and culturally different from them so it wouldn't make sense, the main link I can think of is language. Besides we have a sweet deal as it is, being a tax haven combined with our small population means we have a higher GDP per capita than the UK. Other than this, there are other factors in our favour such as the fact we're less of a Nanny state or that we have a more homogeneous population

Because not only did they destroy our Gaelic identity and genocide us twice, but they refuse to even acknowledge it. They act as if we're behaving irrationally and that we'll eventually come around to their way of thinking and "come home".

They're a shower of self-righteous cunts who throw a temper tantrum when they don't get their way - they pretend to have put their notions behind them but just scratch a little bit under the surface and their superiority complex comes rearing its ugly head again.

They've voted to leave the EU and expect us to follow them, and when we tell them we don't want to leave, they throw their toys out of the pram and scream about how we're Merkel's lap dog.

They're just a shower of cunts, honestly.

Are you retarded? You fucking sliced up most of Ulster, you deliberately pursued a policy of plunging Irish families into poverty by forcing each family to evenly divide all their land among their sons (whereas Protestants gave their estate to their eldest), you actively destroyed the Gaelic language and culture by banning education and attacking Priests who tried to teach through Irish.

Not very many. 16th Division was Irish nationalists and 36th Division were Ulstermen. There would have been some Irishmen in other regiments but nothing like what it was in the 17th-18th centuries when a third of the army was Irish. There was no conscription in Ireland.

Why such a huge number? Surely they were way less populous than the rest of the kingdom even then? Is what the Irish guy is saying true and you were trying to "cull" them with this conscription?

Not prior to the Famine. I think England had about 12-13 million people, we had around 8 million. It was only after the 1850s that our population rapidly declined.

>>74469480
Not all 200,000 were combat troops. There weren't even enough Irish combat troops to support having their own Irish Corps - they just got amalgamated into the Ulster one.

>>
>>74469512
No. There was no conscription in the UK until 1916. The population of Ireland was quite large until the famine and many Irishmen joined to escape poverty, a chance of loot and adventure just like men from all the poor regions. Even then it wasn't that many, the British army was tiny until WWI, just an Imperial police force really. The Irish like to make on what victims they were but they did their share of looting, raping and murdering in the ranks. See the storming of Badajoz.
>>
>>74469961

I don't think that's really true. Americans would happily fight to defend Britain, your country actually has a higher approval rating here than our own country does. Maybe the Brits don't see it that way, and that's cool, but Americans definitely do. There are a handful of nations in the world that the American people view as actual friends and not just convenient allies. Britain is one of them.

The right of UK citizens to vote in all elections in the Rep of Ireland, local, general & European was decided in a referendum in 1979. Irish citizens have long enjoyed that right in the UK.
>>
>>74470253
We do have a "special" relationship built up from political expedience particularly regarding the border. I also think that some Brits overestimate our commitment to that relationship, or how 'close' we feel to them culturally. If a united Ireland came to be we'd probably become a bit more willing to disengage, and things like the 'de facto citizenship' clauses would start to disappear over time.
>>
>>74470613
I genuinely think Brexit is the first in a long period of detachment from the UK. We're likely going to take on a more European outlook on things. I think we'll end up gravitating more towards the German model over time.

That is, unless we actually manage some sort of Gaelic Revival. In which case we'll probably drift among the three neighbours - the US, the UK and the EU.

Bullshit.

World War I: Not in our interest to get involved, our businessmen were making bank off of the war until our Anglophile President and population made some noise and got inolved

World War II: Lend-Lease to the British when we could have made far more money by selling to everyone, even before we got involved in the war itself

The Anglo-American Loan Agreement: Made to help the UK after WWII, it took them 50 fucking years to pay it back

Operation Ajax: Knocking over a random foreign regime at the request of the British government

America has been Britain's friend for more than a century, and its ally, officially speaking, since 1941. The Suez Crisis is a rare exception, a case where our ancestors prioritized global peace over British interests. And I think most British people, if you asked them today, would agree that helping Israel annex a chunk of Egyptian land is not worth risking global war between the US and Russia.

>>74470912

You also lend-lease to the Soviets simply because germany was closing in politically with japan.

You made massive bank on that one and you needed the european economy to recover, which is also why you didn't implement the Morgenthau plan.

>You also lend-lease to the Soviets simply because germany was closing in politically with japan.

No we "lend-lease" to them because Germany was at war with the UK. You think we ever, ever, at any point, gave a shit about Russia? No. If Germany had signed a peace treaty with the UK in 1941, the US would have said "ok, cool" and left you alone. The problem was that Hitler was threatening Britain.


>You made massive bank on that one and you needed the european economy to recover, which is also why you didn't implement the Morgenthau plan.


It was still a massive risk. Economic planners can only give guesses at best. And the US gave far more aid to the UK than it did to Germany or France, which suffered far more in WWII.

As for the Morgenthau plan....fuck off, we didn't implement it because it was fucking inhumane. Some Jew deputy cabinet official proposed, and literally everyone else told him " you're retarded, this is evil and will not help us in any way". Remember that a lot of Americans have German ancestry, the supreme allied commander was named "Eisenhower" for christ's sake.

>Which you refused until britain convinced you Iran was about to go commie, before that you told them to fuck off.

Nevertheless, done at the request of the British. Do you honestly think that any other country's officials could have convinced the US to act in that way?

You're right. It's completely different. Britain and Ireland were part of the same country. Not like Britain and America, which were never part of the same country for any serious length of time. And the US and the UK certainly aren't joined at the hip. The USA's contribution in WWII to defend the UK will never even come close to the great effort Ireland made to defend the UK, which was.....wait.....what did they do, again?
>>
>>74471557
Not to nitpick, but the US gave more aid to the UK than to Germany or France because it still had an enormous standing army and it was paying the way for the British German sector in Paderborn.
As for Labour's reckless squandering of Marshall funds, that's another matter.

True. I'm not pretending that it was 100% out of the goodness of American hearts. Every capable public servant will act to help his own country first. Even Churchill, who had an American mother, regularly complained that Truman was too soft on the Soviet and constantly disagreed with him. I'm only saying that there has always been positive genuine popular positive sentiment towards the UK which as only grown since 1783*, you might even call it affection, and this has played a role in our government's decisions for almost our entire history. Even our earliest revolutionaries in 1775 toasted to King George III's good health.

The US government, with the full backing of the people, has made many decisions that were not in the absolute best interest of America, but positively affected Britain. Decisions that we have never made for any other ally. IMO, that can only be attributed to a sense of Anglo-American friendship, which seems silly but is relevant in a republic where public opinion is everything.

*With the obvious exception of 1812-1815, but let's be honest, nobody cares about that conflict except Canadians lol

If Ireland joins the UK again and the UK leaves the EU, both will move to the Icelandic sphere of influence.

One does not befriend superpowers, nor leave one without becoming subordinate to another, so if these states wish to move their capital from Berlin to Reykjavík, that's fine with me, just don't have delusions of sovereignty and independence.

So many Britons have already died in the Cod Wars, because of irresponsible UK politicians throwing the lives of young men away for these nationalist fantasies, is Ireland to be next for the meat grinder? Shall Irish seas be the next to be annexed?

The UK cannot be a geopolitically illogical actor and destroy itself in nuclear fire all because of these mad ideals, don't try to upset the balance of power, or end up like Qaddafi. This is your final warning.

*And even in 1812-1815, one of our two big political parties at the time, the Federalists, were so pro-British that they genuinely considered secession rather than fighting the UK.

Are you angry because Ireland got cucked to oblivion by Denmark and Norway?

The only thing Irishmen are good for are being slaves. The English knew this too.
