2. I voted never.
As ridiculous as it is, Great Britain will keep it. People don't care anymore, just as with Israel, and the United States, there's a correlation between people's acceptance of theft and the time passed since the theft.

3. People don't care?
Have you checked public sentiment in Ireland? I assure you, they do.

4. Obviously the people who get shafted care.
I was talking about people's ability to rationalize these sorts of things. I really do think it will never happen. Hell, the only reason I think it even stayed in the greater consciousness world wide was because of the IRA's terrorism.
