@Panzerknacker I have read everything you have said here and from it what you actually want is for the Irish Republic to once again become part of what is now called the United Kingdom. Before you question that, you have made it clear that you want a United Europe with a European government and all that entails which also include the offshore island that presently form the United Kingdom and the Irish Republic, for obvious reason any mainland European government will see these islands as one and the same and what form their existing governments and regional assemblies will simply function as nothing more than council chambers. By implication this will make you Irish, therefore British and of course European .. You cannot have it both ways. Ireland cannot be an independent country within the European Union.
