Rejected petition N Ireland should vote on becoming its own country in any potential Border Poll.

N Ireland has a history inextricably linked to either the UK or the Republic of Ireland. 20-30% of people in the recent census align with being Northern Irish, not Irish/British. These people should be heard, allow N Ireland to move away from its historical dependency on Irish and UK Policies.
