vote for a United Ireland. I'm far from alone in that view, and I'm quite fearful that if SF get into government here in the South, they'll land us in another civil war.

On the Unionists, the big Unionist farmers of Mid Ulster will be waiting for the DUP too. They stand to get wiped out (like so many farmers in the UK), if the DUP/Johnson get the land customs border, and the UK then goes on to do a lower standards trade deal with the US.
