Which would solve the issue. Get rid of NI, that reduces the number of MPs to 632, which means the Torys have exactly 50% of the MPs.
Leave the people in NI to their own fate, but the New UK doesn't need to care about them.

The people of NI will never accept a €0.76 Lemsip sachet like we have in the South.

The passport is not the same thing.

The passport is not the same thing.

Part of the reason for the passport is about getting into countries like the US, and other places. Some see Ireland as less of a right wing “kill all foreigners” threat than the UK, so they welcome Irish citizens,while being less friendly to UK ones.
