Mister Poll: IRISH ATTITUDES TO THE BRITISH. POLL FOR IRISH-BORN ONLY.

The purpose of this poll is to look at Irish people's attitudes to the British. BY "IRISH PEOPLE", I MEAN PEOPLE WHO ARE BORN IN IRELAND AND CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE IRISH, BUT NOT PEOPLE OF IRISH DESCENT BORN IN OTHER COUNTRIES. I'm particularly interested in whether Irish people view the Scots and Welsh differently (because they are Celts), and whether there is more Irish hostility to the Lowland Scots (because of their ethnic links to the Ulster Protestants), but less to the Highland Scots (because of their ethnic links to the native Irish).

Are you Irish-born AND consider yourself to be Irish?

Yes.

No. (please do not complete the rest of this poll)

Which one of the following answers most accurately describes your attitude to the British? Please read through all the answers before you select.

I don't feel hostile to the British. Period.

I don't feel hostile to the British but I'm against British rule in Ulster.

I feel hostile to the English but not to the Scots and Welsh.

I feel hostile to all three but less so to the Scots and Welsh.

I feel equally hostile to all three.

I feel especially hostile to the Scots.

I feel hostile to the Lowland Scots but not to the Highland Scots.

None of it matters now because both Ireland and Britain are EU.

We don't need Ulster and its problems. The British can keep it.

If the Scots and Welsh are proud of their Celtic heritage, they should support Irish nationalism.
