A united Ireland is the term used to refer to a single independent state covering the whole of the island of Ireland. Presently, the island is divided into the Republic of Ireland (an independent state) and Northern Ireland (a constituent country of the United Kingdom). Irish republicans and nationalists want Northern Ireland to leave the United Kingdom and unify with the Republic of Ireland. Unionists oppose this. Many different models for unification have been suggested including federalism[1] and confederalism, as well as a unitary state. To this day, Article 15.2 of the Constitution of the Republic of Ireland (enacted in 1937) provides for a federal-type structure, originally intended to absorb the old Stormont institutions of Northern Ireland. The current division of the island of Ireland stems from demographic and political factors. In demographic terms, the six counties of Northern Ireland contain a Protestant majority that largely favours continued union with Britain. The twenty-six counties of the Republic contain a very large Roman Catholic majority that rejected British rule and became independent in 1922. In political terms, the British government was reluctant in the 1920s to withdraw its jurisdiction from the whole of the island for strategic reasons. While Irish governments, particularly under Eamon de Valera, pursued the goal of a united Ireland throughout the 20th century, the prospect of a united Ireland assumed particular importance following the outbreak of The Troubles in Northern Ireland in the late 1960s. All major political parties in Britain and in both parts of Ireland now accept the principle that a united Ireland can be achieved only with the consent of the majority of the people of Northern Ireland. All major political parties in the south favour a united Ireland, as do the SDLP and Sinn Féin (and Republican paramilitary groups) in Northern Ireland. A united Ireland is opposed by the Unionist parties and loyalist paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland. In Britain, the Government is committed under the Northern Ireland Act 1998 to following the wishes of the majority of the Northern Ireland population, though the Conservatives have links with the Ulster Unionist Party and are more inclined to favour unionism, while many Labour supporters have more sympathy for the nationalist cause.
