Subject: Riglach - A strategy for Irish Freedom

I am just wondering here what peoples views are in relation to an idea floating around in Irish Nationalist circles known as the 'Riglach Strategy'. It basically comprises of a tactical move by Nationalists for repartitioning the Northern State and undermining English rule away from its current impassible state. It is designed in three phases, the first where Self-determination is demanded by the people of Fermanagh and Tyrone on the basis that in both 1918 and 1919 these counties voted for Independence and also that since partition both these counties have continually kept a Nationalist majority. A second phase involves the demand by Armagh and Doire for their independence due to their substantial Nationalist majorities and a route is pursued similar to the way Quebec had a referendum to seperate itself from Canada a few years back. The final phase then involves making the final area Antrim and Down unworkable through political insecurity from both South Down and West Belfast.

Its benefits are that Nationalists will have the potential to have a further 20 seats in Dail Eireann once the 4 Nationalist counties gain their independence, so ending the cosy consensus of the 26 county parties. It also divides Unionists and totally undermines their propaganda for a Protestant Nation for a Protestant people. It also destroys the economy, tourism, infrastructure of the current six county state and forces both the Unionists and English into retreat. It removes almost half of the current occupying police and military force of the Brits in the six counties and creates a new Nationalist stronghold that Republicans can continue to work within to attack the occupation of Ireland.
