Support in the north of #Ireland for remaining in the UK continues to drop (& has been doing so for years), & now leads support for #IrishUnity by just 4% - almost a margin of error.
Every age band under 55 now supports a #UnitedIreland (if narrowly).
Time to prepare for a #borderpoll.

Ireland is talking about a border poll. Are we ready for the conversation that comes before it?
The case for unification is not sufficiently developed and is more rooted in aspiration rather than supported by a detailed, inclusive, and credible plan, writes Declan Lyons

4/ Polling hasn't moved much either. LucidTalk's #borderpoll question has had unity at 39–43% since 2021, with the UK consistently ahead. #FineGael's new blueprint prices unity at €3bn–€25bn in its first year. The middle ground will want answers to its own questions, not a headcount.

2/ Partition will be 105 next year and we're bombarded with demands for a #BorderPoll. But the #CopernicanPrinciple says something that's lasted a century probably has a lot of time left. Nothing guarantees it, but anyone saying unity is "just around the corner" should ask what's special about now.

What will Irish Unity cost?! £2 billion? £8 billion? Maybe £20 billion! 🤦♂️
Main takeaway? Estimating an exact cost using subvention is not really interesting or relevant. We can ask better questons than that.
