Support for Irish reunification increases to 56% in the event of a hard border post-Brexit, the poll states.
If Britain doesn’t leave the EU, 52% of people surveyed would support Northern Ireland remaining in the UK , while 35% would be in favour of united Ireland.
When Scottish voters were surveyed by the same company almost half (47%) said they would vote for independence if Brexit comes to pass, while 43% said they would vote for Scotland to remain part of Britain.

It makes sense for the people of common sense and will be like the collapse of the Berlin wall in Ireland Party On!!!!
It will also be good for the UK because the Tories would no longer be able to rely on the support of the DUP, so it would mean that Labour would be far more likely to get a majority in elections here!
Win! Win!

Just over half of people surveyed (52%) said Brexit would lead to them supporting a united Ireland, while 39% would want Northern Ireland to remain in the UK.
A representative sample of 1,199 people from Northern Ireland were interviewed for the poll, which was carried out between 27 August and 30 August.
The online poll was conducted by Deltapoll on behalf of anti-Brexit campaign groups Our Future Our Choice and Best for Britain.

Surely a united Ireland would mean that N. Ireland (as was) would become part of Eire, in the EU, and no longer part of the UK ?
A move I entirely approve of.

Northern Ireland are net beneficiaries from the UK Treasury by £9billion per annum
Presumably the southern Irish are happy to pick up the tab?
And what about the divorce bill?
How big will that be, and will Dublin pay it?
We can all see what a mess Brexit it.
Don't think that NI leaving the UK then joining Eire will be any easier.

There are borders between Norway and Sweden; between Switzerland and France; Italy; Austria and Germany
I don't really think that it's a big deal.

There is a difference between those borders and the North/South Divide in Ireland, the last thing that is needed is to bring back the Irish Border and its past problems .
