    In Fermanagh south Tyrone constituency there has been a few votes in it a few times, there was 4 votes in it so they had a recount. 4 votes is a margin of error, the Brexit result isn't.

    So #Vote Tory and let's get Boris' deal through!!

    It doesn't matter the size of the data when calculating an actual margin of error ...

    It could be a poll of a 100, a sample of 100,000 or a result of 10s of million.
    A you want brexit for a United Ireland ...

    No union very soon.

    * takes deep breath..

    Non binding referendum.
    Essentially an opinion poll.
    Government of the day says they will act on result.
    Government of the day cannot get the legislation through parliament.
    Parliament is where the laws would have to be passed to enable the constitutional change.
    Parliament includes the opposition.

    And Ciaran, sorry if this ****s up your plans to make millions selling red diesel across the border...

    You cant vote Tory. Tories dont stand in Ulster. You'll need to vote DUP.

    Johnson/May deal is a good deal for Northern Ireland. The Republican parties wouldn't be averse to it I should think.

    @Ciaran to confirm.

    I'll be voting John Finucne, all old school pal. He stands on an abstention ticket. I wouldn't vote for someone who pledged allegiance to the Crown iirc

    And it would be hypocritical of an Irish Republican to take seats and have a say in UK national politics seeing as our gripe is British involvement in Ireland.
