In the case of UK and Spain, large fractions of their populations (Ireland, Scotland and Cataluña) do not feel a partriotic sentiment towards their country as a whole

Uh, you know Ireland hasn't been part of the UK since 1922, right?

Northern Ireland is not Ireland.

Then why is it named "Ireland"?

[-] EinfachUnersetzlich@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

It's named Northern Ireland.

Speaking about Ireland, you guys should totally watch this movie. It literally speaks about how things are going nowadays.

Thus you know the name of the biggest party in the Northern Ireland Assembly? You know, the one with an Irish name.

[-] EinfachUnersetzlich@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Sinn Fein, yes. But what's that got to do with the point in hand?

You know the two biggest parties in the United States? You know, the ones with English names.
