I don't they will over there either. Last year the Irish Times did a poll on reunification. only 13% were interested. Brexit of course might make a difference. Edit. I have just read a report from the Independent that says 65% are in favour of reunification so it seems figures aren't reliable.

aright Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 It seems the party has started! Fresh alarm in Italy as apostles of 'Italexit' take control of parliament Hard-line eurosceptics have swept all the key posts in the budget and finance committees of the Italian parliament, shattering the brief calm in the bond markets and guaranteeing a showdown with Brussels over spending rules. The cohort of anti-euro legislators from the Five Star Movement and the ‘Italy First’ Lega party will have a powerful say of over fiscal policy and may make it almost impossible for technocrat ministers in the new Italian government to enforce the EU’s draconian‘bail-in’ rules for banks. The two leading apostles of the Italian anti-euro movement have been elected to pivotal posts. Claudio Borghi, the Lega’s economics chief, will chair the budget committee in the lower house. Professor Alberto Bagnai, a Lega convert from a Left-wing background, will chair the finance committee in the Senate.

tebee Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Much still depend on how we leave, those who want us to go to WTO terms next March should read this - A no deal Brexit must be avoided, as it would force Airbus to reconsider its footprint in the country, its investments in the UK and at large its dependency on the UK (with many potential undesirable consequences such as repatriating competencies, patents, revisit Research and Development footprint, reduce UK’s weight in the supply chain etc.…). Given the “No deal/Hard Brexit” uncertainties, the company’s dependence on and investment in the flagship “Wing of Tomorrow” programme would also have to be revisited, and corresponding key competencies grown outside the UK. This extremely negative outcome for Airbus would be catastrophic. It would impair our ability to benefit from highly qualified British resources, it would also severely undermine UK efforts to keep a competitive and innovative aerospace industry, while developing high value jobs and competencies.

Oh I agree, but also people(and countries) must be aware that their actions have consequences and the one of the consequences of a hard Brexit will be Aerospace and many others turning their back on this country and moving production abroad. I hope the "hard brexit " supporters can look all the people made redundant after the day in the eye and explain how we "did it for their benefit£ by making modern manufacturing impractical to conduct in the UK.
