Admitted what?Well you just admitted it
There as me thinking Stormont got closed after shinnagins involving EU grants and corruptionToday there is a near general strike in Northern Ireland because the pay and the lives of people there are being negatively impacted by there being no devolved government in operation.
The vote for the whole of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to leave the European Union has directly led to this situation. One argument is that power sharing won’t be agreed if the Unionists aren’t dominant, but in my view the real reason is the one the Unionists put forward about not wanting their region treated differently, or subject to different rules to somewhere in the rest of the UK like Somerset for example.
It all comes down to leave voters creating a significant border between two different systems on the island of Ireland.
Seven and a half years on and leave voters, including the self declared lexiters, have not solved the land border problem they created.
You may be right. However the leave vote has provided an excuse for the DUP to behave as they are doing.There as me thinking Stormont got closed after shinnagins involving EU grants and corruption

We still have that. Most businesses wanted to Remain because of trade barriers.Most business wanted to remain to ensure low waged immigration
If that can happen peacefully.unified Ireland would solve it
We won the vote. Laughing at you after all this time seems churlish.Reminds me that I haven't seen much of the lexit-faithful presence in here lately.

The Tories won the last general election, and far more comprehensively while we’re at it. I guess we should all stop complaining about how fucking shit this Tory government is and how inhuman their policies are, seeing as it’s the will of the majority.We won the vote.

"you"?We won the vote. Laughing at you after all this time seems churlish.

Just to point out the obvious, the Tories didn't win a majority of votes, they won a majority of seats, so a Tory government isn't "the will of the majority" in the same way the result of a referendum is.The Tories won the last general election, and far more comprehensively while we’re at it.

Uni of East Anglia had Leave as winning in 406 out of the 650 constituencies as well, had it been done that way. It wasn't. but just for balanceJust to point out the obvious, the Tories didn't win a majority of votes, the they won a majority of seats, so a Tory government isn't "the will of the majority" in the same way the result of a referendum is.
Personally, I'm cool with people moaning about all aspects of this and past Tories governments, including the shitshow of Brexit implementation.

Leaving the EU sweeps away any restrictions on state aid meaning that it’s a question of political will only as to whether Port Talbot receives it.
