I heard that Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales leaders are planning to meet to break up UK. Is it really true? Anyone from UK here who can tell me what is actually happening there?

    However even the opt-out of 1922 could be seen as the result of a public vote, as Sinn Féin campaigned the 1921 election focused almost solely on the issue of partition, and underperformed with 20% of the popular vote.

    Within the partitioned North, yes. The British settlers far outnumbered the Irish at that stage. It didnt’ matter what way the Irish voted.

        No, absolutely not. I’m saying that’s what the situation is for Ireland as set out in the Good Friday Agreement. Scotland isn’t mentioned .
