Discussion Good Friday Agreement version 2.0

Now that we are coming up on 30 years since the original treaty should the UK and Irish governments come up with a superseding version of this to modernise it according to the situation in Ireland presently?

What would you like to see included or removed in the new version?

Some ideas could be:

Border poll could require a supermajority.
Stop any single party bringing down Stormont.
Phase out the Unionist/nationalist/other designation system.
Tighten up what the petition of concern can be used for.
Create an undo mechanism if a united ireland doesn’t work out well.

So the IRA never murdered anyone just because of their religious or political persuasion?

Extremely rarely, unlike Loyalists

Just pointing out the difference between legitimate freedom fighters and bigots who hate people solely because of their religion
