While I certainly agree with the thrust of the article, there's a couple of errors I need to comment on. Northern Ireland occupied, maybe, certainly it is an artificially created entity, but it has existed for a long time & at least at the moment the majority want to remain in the UK. There are definite signs that that is changing, eg Sinn Fein winning the last assembly elections. It is also a moot point as to whether the Republic would want NI to rejoin. As for Cameron wanting Brexit, he was a strong remainer & was shocked by the result, hence his immediate resignation.
I wrote Cameron gambled on Brexit. He did so in putting it to a vote. As you know, no one was really certain of the outcome. Realism is about not gambling on the unpredictable.
Cheers Kevin, sorry about the misunderstanding, I read it as gambling on Brexit happening. Perhaps you should have reworded it as gambling on the referendum, or maybe not & I'm the only one who made the mistake.
