A small but growing theme of discussion in NI has centred around the possible re-alignment of politics. According to Toby Harnden, operating to purely party interests may not be the most effective means of achieving a United Ireland. He digs up a 1990 quotation from Gerry Adams:
"Adams mused about a 'gradualist scenario with Dublin taking up more and more responsibility and the British influence slowly waning'. This meant ending up 'with a situation that may be very bad for the very specific republican organisation or base or struggle but becomes good for the overall cause'".
