So 900,000 British unionists will be "accomodated" in the same inclusive way as people from other nations, Nigeria for example?
That is not unity, it is conquest.
What is Unionist culture?

Or British culture? Indeed are unionist and British culture one?

Very similar to Irish culture in many ways.
You could also ask the question "How is Irish culture that different to English, Scottish, or Welsh culture?"
We all speak English, watch football, listen to the same music, read the same books, drink too much in pubs, watch the same TV programmes etc etc.
There are regional differences. But the similarities are more plentiful than the differences.

Indeed. One needs to define . I suspect that the questioner is asking if there can be peace between Irish Ireland and Orangeism.

It just seems that everytime you ask to pin down what unionist culture or identity is, after it being paraded as some form raison detre for the continuance of partition, the answers always seem to travel in the same direction, not answering the question, but deflecting it. Why is that I wonder?

Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English, we are all the one people.
The majority of Irish people sought to govern themselves independently as it was in our self-interest.
That is the only significant difference.
