4. I'm not sure if I want to see NI coming in with us, to be honest.

There's been 98 years since partition, and we're not engrained with the British State like they are in the North. The Nationalist nordies have a major chip on their shoulder that we abandoned them, the Unionist nordies are akin to the Republican evangelicals replete with fire and brimstone anti gay, anti abortionists that would warm the hearts of their American cousins. Not forgetting the complete nutjobs in both NI communities.

Aside from that, there are huge economic differences where the NI economy is subsidized by Westminster. That would take a huge toll on the South, which would be a major part of any Border Poll.
