Re: BREXIT
Interesting and thoughtful article from Sky News

There is a smaller goal in sight right now - designated EU status for Northern Ireland.
Make no mistake about, Brexit played its part in the "watershed" result in the election. Northern Ireland, like Scotland, voted to remain but, as part of the UK, will leave the EU.
Some have told me their vote to remain was not out of love for Brussels. It was out of respect for their neighbours, the relationship with the Republic of Ireland.
Sinn Fein did not need this "watershed" result to hasten a referendum on Irish unity. Brexit - and the prospect of a hard Irish border - had arguably done that for them.

Could Sinn Fein surge spurred by Brexit see Northern Ireland leave the UK?
