There are no guarantees for sure, and there are many hurdles to a formal UI through plebiscite and sovereignty.

A more informal UI - agreed practices of customs and trade, diminishing sectarianism, mutual cultural acknowledgements and recognition. I'd take that any day, and think that is more 'touching distance' than what MLMcD may have in mind.

It's the follow-on impact. The precedent will have be set as per GFA, that the people of NI shall decide NI's future, not God.

Unfortunately, the DUP who never signed up to GFA believe the Union with Britain is derived through His Majesty and as long as the monarch reigns, then so shall NI, regardless of what the people think.
