43. If all residents of Northern Ireland were willing to think of themselves
as both British and Irish, then their nationalities would not be incompatible.
But as long as some such residents see the implications of Irish nationality
as accepting the territorial aspiration of Irish Nationalists (which is
made explicit by the Gellner thesis), then these two nationalities are,
for them, incompatible. |
