If you cant beat them, join them...

This was an idea I bandied about on other political forums a few years back and was met with derision but to me its unconventional but outside the box thinking. Orange marches are marches in which the marchers are celebrating the Battle of the Boyne and seek to further alienate nationalist tenants in estates in Northern Ireland every July 12th. We being the fighting Irish tend to protest and year in year out there is always clashes of sorts with fighting and bottle throwing and other sorts of trouble. Could we not change all that and have a joint Orange/Nationalist march. The lodges do not allow Catholics to join I understand but if we cannot beat them then why not join them? Nationalists ask be allowed to join the parade but under the banner of celebrating all things Irish . This is extending a hand of friendship to the Orange order and Unionist community and is essentially love bombing them . The end result will be that the tenets of the organisation will essentially be undermined so much so that they are killed with love. Im well aware of the animosity between the Orange Order and the Nationalist community so perhaps this unorthodox thinking outside the box method may actually work?
