re: #216 elbruce

That’s what happens when you have a campaign of moving people who are loyal to you into the other side’s territory - it rigs future elections so that any democratic solution ends up favoring you. Lots of parallels here.

Ulster was always loyal to the Crown, made up mostly of English immigrants from way back.

There was an election. The Irish voted or cessation, save for Ulster.

England recognized that vote and gave up home rule, save for Ulster.
