No this would be a union of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to make a Celtic nation.
The population would be 15m ish, just over a quarter that of England with 50% more land to knock about in.

There would be a Welsh Independence referendum long before they considered one uniting Ireland
Not due to popular demand, but because of the inevitable shit that would go down in the Irish Unification campaign, someone said Theresa May doesn't care if she broke up the union, but I don't think she'd want that and potentially restarting the Troubles on her CV
The recent election in Northern Ireland seemed to suggest there has been a shift in the age old demographic of the Protestants vote being the majority and therefore continuously returning Unionsits.
However, Id stay well clear of any reunification talk for a long time, as somebody above said the Troubles would be back sadly with the loyalists feeling they had been sold out.
God no, I'm a proud British person and wish to remain so, in or out of Europe.
There is no finer island, and the Scots should be grateful to be part of that institution which is so admired , trusted and respected around the world.
If the SNP gets independence it would a very sad moment for the UK and a very dangerous risk for the Scottish people, the SNP is using emotional blackmail to extend its power base, it almost like a dictatorship is being formed to ensure there is no future opposition or choice ,very worrying ??
