Health service in the North like the rest of the Uk is struggling.
Seeing a DR takes 3 weeks, the growth of private appointments and private clinics is systematic of this.
For me Brexit is the game changer rather than European people we are either British or Irish and this coupled with the ease of movement throughout the Island , and the fall from grace of the RC church allows people to be more comfortable with the idea Of unification .
It might take 20 years but it will happen, something I never thought I would say.
I think the unionist people if we are to move peacefully towards it must be guaranteed a block in the Dail to give them some comfort.
I don't think giving anyone a block in the Dail would be helpful, and would only cause needless division. To the best of my knowledge, no religious or political group has ever been guaranteed any number of seats in the Dail. The interests of people from the former N.Ireland would be no different to the interests of any other citizens. They would have the same civil rights as anyone else.
Unionist parties would obviously be free to do as any other political party would do. Though I'm not sure what the point of a 'Unionist' party would be at that point, given they would no longer be in the Union.
Say for instance the DUP was still going. They would have to be looking to win the votes of people across the island, not just the Protestant community in the northern counties. Otherwise they'll never win enough votes to be relevant. Likewise, parties like Labour, Sinn Fein, FF, FG etc would be looking to win votes in that same community.
