I wasn’t aware (or I forgot) NI has this option. Do you know why they have it? Can you point to a good explanation somewhere? Thx.

- prvit 4y agoThey have it because IRA was willing to kill a lot of people to get it. This is a part of the so-called Good Friday Agreement which was signed in 1998 after Northern Irish nationalists fought a 30 year war against the British state with an ultimate goal of becoming a part of Ireland instead.
- Kaibeezy 4y agoThat's what I get for asking an imprecise question. Sometimes, when two countries dislike each other very much... A more precise line of questioning might have been: What considerations brought about the inclusion of this particular clause or right? Under what circumstances has it been raised for consideration since the Agreement? Can you point to a resource focusing on the issues and history surrounding this particular clause? Anyway, the comments above made some suggestions.
