Partitionism is the acceptance of any of the trappings of partition, such as the border, the Northern Ireland Parliament (or the Northern Ireland Assembly) and the Oireachtas (referred to as "partitionist parliaments"). It is any position that regards "Ireland" as stopping at the border. It has nothing to do with "viewing people as separate and different". You can see the people of the north and south as one nation or as one family, and still have a partitionist mentality. The article, having given this misleading definition, becomes nothing more than a random collection of quotes with the word "partitionism" in them. The comment in the Derry Journal was perceptive, but was never intended as a definition. Some of the other quotes are apt, some are less so, but the overall effect of the article is to leave the reader with no idea what "partitionism" actually means.

I'd have thought this article would be better off merged into the United Ireland article. It doesn't really stand on its own very well as a separate article. Dmcq ( talk) 18:18, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
