I'm not saying I care either way if North Ireland breaks away to join Ireland, but even though the slight majority of North Ireland doesn't want to leave, it was because of so many unionists (those wanting a united Ireland - apart from the UK) left the country to Ireland. And as well as another exodus of the British to North Ireland. The reason they want to secede is because of the way the British treated the Catholics (now unionists) and so they want absolutely nothing to do with them. Also one more question: Should the IRA (Irish Republican Army) be labeled as freedom fighters or terrorists?
