Doesn't stop a desire for independence, just because your in a minority, Scotland are lucky they are given the opportunity for a democratic vote, Ireland was partitioned to created a unionist majority in the North, there was no democratic vote.

Yes, but the initial Home rule bill was passed-applicable to all of Ireland-implementation of which was delayed due to the onset of the Great War. During this time, Sir Edward Carson assembled and armed a private army (Ulster Volunteers), who threatened to rebel against implementation of Home Rule by the British state.Because the majority in the region were in favour of remaining part of the union. Hence why Northern Ireland chose to ceceed from the Irish Free State a day after it was formed.
There was a referendum later on in the 70's so to say there was never a democratic vote is not true.
