It's relevant because Northern Ireland is getting what they wanted, staying in the single market and customs union.

That's the way democracy should work, if you lose the vote you don't get what you voted for. In 2016 16.1 million people didn't get what they wanted, because 17.4 million people voted for something else.

A United Ireland and Independent Scotland might be the only positive consequences of this entire shitstorm.

Not true, democracy can be about compromise, not just binary rule by majority*

Both NI and England getting 'what they want' seems more democratic than England deciding what NI gets (which in itself is a longstanding tradition).

*technically democracy can be rule by minority as minority parties get to be the kingmaker of hung results.

The 2016 referendum wasn't a referendum on Northern Ireland independence, it was a referendum on UK independence. One things for sure, democracy doesn't mean tyranny of the minority which is what we have in the UK at the moment where the minority opinion is able to dictate to everyone else what happens because they think they know best.

England and Wales can go be an independent nation. Scotland and NI will leave the UK and rejoin the EU.
