Nope, never. NI might want to leave, but it can't leave because its too dependant on the UK economically.

More so than Ireland was in 1921? And will that continue to be the case, with the NIP imposing barriers between it & GB?
I'm not sure, but given it came off the back of a war of independence (and became a civil war) it seems relative. I think the UK is in the better negotiation position, so I doubt there would be many concessions.

In any case, they'd have to adopt a hefty bill: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Ireland_fiscal_defici...
