Quote:In any case, many countries have successfully annexed territories without its population having any say in the matter at the moment, but have offered the sort of value proposition over time, not all without coercion, that successfully assimilated the population over time.
Read more on the history of Ireland under English rule, then get back to me on 'value proposition over time'. This isn't at all like the case of (for example) the Roman conquest of Britain - Britons were happy under Roman rule. The case of English rule over the Irish has always been more akin to badly used draft animals under the 'care' of a semi-psychotic drayman.
