What percentage of people who voted in the 1973 NI referendum
indicated

part of
the
UK.

yes, i should ignore the trolls, too, but i know how concerned you are
about getting the exact body count right.

In the 1998 Referendum on an 81 per cent turnout 71 percent of them
(676,966 ) voted for the Good Friday Agreement. Indeed the numbers
voting for the GFA was 85,146 MORE than those voting for Union in
1973 - 14
percent
MORE than ALL yes votes in 1973.

14% increase in the vote for the union, you say. huh.

A vote FOR the GFA is not necessarily a vote FOR the union.

So, waht was it a vote for Nazi boy?
