It would be beneficial in many ways. For starters, the people of Ireland would finally have full control over their beautiful isle. Secondly, it would end the IRA. There would be no need for an IRA. Thirdly, it would mean there would be no worry about the Brexit backstop. Forthly, it would take a strain off the economy, and would also get the DUP out of power.

No.
I don't support republicanism or breaking up the union.
The official ira and splinter movements including the inla are marxists hostile to free market capitalism that want "an ireland that is socialist".
They would have little conscience as regarding resorting to decades of further shootings, bombings and kidnaps in pursuit of achieving their other aims.
Handing over ulster would risk destabilising both the uk and ireland.
In addition to creating a perception that the uk has abandoned our traditional "we will never surrender" to terrorist criminality.
Thus making britain a target for every kind of aggressor and bringing utter mayhem to the streets of northern ireland yet again.

To be honest yes, simply for the fact NI seems to be more trouble than its worth and is a burden on GB

With a little luck the disparities in birth rates and a proportional election system will allow the occupants of Northern Ireland to sort themselves out.

I am in favour of the people democratically voting for unification or not.
The IRA, despite their cowardly killings, forced the British government to the table from which Ireland became a Republic. No way would Britain give in to such a tiny country were it not for the IRA forcing the issues.

"End the IRA"?? The Loyalist paramilitaries are a bunch of killers. They have murdered many hundreds of Irish Catholics. The killing was from both sides.

It became inevitable when the elections occurred before the creation of the first Home Rule parliament in Southern Ireland returned a huge separatist majority. Irish home rule, as a movement, long predates significant conflict in Ireland and it was the parliamentary dynamics under Lloyd George that really moved that forward.

The former is unfortunately very unlikely so I would just give them a boarder poll which reunification shouldn’t be on it.
Once independent they can join the south if they like but that just muddies the water in the initial referendum.

I am strongly opposed to Northern Ireland becoming independent or rejoining Ireland. Northern Ireland is as much a part of my country as any other and i find it offensive that people would actively seek to weaken our great nation. NI may only be akin to a hand but i would still much rather keep both my hands than not.
That said in many ways i would quite like to see a hard border in NI so that cultural and legal difference with Ireland can intensify. The people of NI should be truly British or truly Irish, not pandered to.
