The UK voted to leave. In the same way when a country left the Empire, the British govt tended to make it a long and not exactly pleasant process. In 1922, Irish leaders wanted a 32 county republic, they got 26 counties and dominion status.https://twitter.com/JuliaHB1/status/1015905900501061633 …

Two of the four components of the UK didn’t vote to leave the EU either?

Wrong, it was a UK vote. We are not federal. Like saying a MP cannot represent a constituency if one ward did not vote for him/her. Just doesn't work. Same applies for any US president in history.

Right. The six counties could hardly be described as federal at the time of partition. Ireland was dragged into the act of union as a single nation and should have be permitted to leave as a single nation.

Ireland was created as a single nation by the Crown. Its Parliament voted for Union.

Unreal the crown created the Irish Nation. Parliament voted for the act. That’s was a Protestant parliament bribed & coerced into the vote. A parliament who initially voted against the act 1799 because it contained concessions on Catholic emancipation. Some vote

The Irish question. Brexiteers just don’t get it, do you? The Irish Border is, was and remains the biggest obstacle to your ideological Brexit

Wrong, in any case wasnt a problem in 1921 and wasnt accepted from 1937 to 1998.
