In Ireland, they’ve been defanged and would be more so as a senior coalition partner (although even this is becoming less of a no brainer in recent polls). As government in south and north approaches, life is going to get harder since the party cultures differ and Irish voters need reassurance this isn’t Adams’ party anymore.
I think unification will come but also wanted to make the point that it doesn’t have to. There are alternative options for NI but that will mean either special status in both markets or the UK returns to the EEA.

Returning to the EEA is very practical but it will never work in theory ;-)
We will also agree to call it the Windsor Market first.
