It's not a simple case of who should 'have' Northern Ireland. And the situation bears no resemblance to the division of Germany. Britain doesn't particarly want it - it costs the country a lot of money. The majority of people in NI want to be part of Britain. However, this majority was artificially and intentionally created by the border. The majority of people on the island of Ireland do want a united Ireland, so it's hard to judge what the democratic solution is. There is little chance that the country could be united without a civil war - and an imaginary line on the ground isn't worth dying over, particularly when Northern Irish citizens are already secure in an Irish identity, or a British one, under the present circumstances. Side: It's not that simple
