Irish unity supporting parties now represent the largest political group at a local level, the assembly and Westminster. The result of #GE2024 further signals the shifting electoral ground of constitutional politics in NI. teapawt.net/DarranMarshall/status/…

"Cost of Irish reunification overblown and benefit underplayed If done properly, redistribution will be from rich to middle and poor, not from the South to the North", according to experts from the ARINS project. #IrishUnity #UnitedIreland #BorderPoll irishtimes.com/politics/2024…
