Murderous Terrorists Kill Brits

As Zhuge has already pointed out, though, the Loyalist community don't want independence, they want to remain a part of the UK. They consider themselves British, subjects of her Majesty.

Add to that the complicated matter of parliamentary politics and it becomes very messy. There's many an English government has been held up during difficult votes by support from Loyalist Irish MPs. Also, up until very recently (like the last couple of years) it was a safe bet to say that any Prime Minister or Party that presided over the handing back of Northern Ireland, would have consigned themselves to the political wilderness in doing so.
