    Two regional parties who’s identity is founded around independence from the UK, and another party who’s identity is founded on having Northern Ireland join the Republic of Ireland, all get together and reiterate their founding ideals.

    Wow. What revolutionary news! /s

    Must be a fucking slow news day.

      I agree.

      This is political theatre to try and gain support for “doing something” whilst wasting time on doing actually nothing.

      Tbh idk how big of a headache it’d be to change the name. How much would a name change cost? How many systems will need to be updated?
