Why would one support a united Ireland if they are not Catholic?

Most Ulster Presbyterians are not descended from the Plantation, anyways.

Frankly I think it should just be that Ulster democratically decide which country they should be a part of, and that be that. Right now they would continue to be a part of the UK, possibly due to demographic changes they'll choose Ireland later.

Actually...

for some reason the electorate decided to jump to the two more extreme parties instead of the UUP and SDLP.

SF's fortunes dipped in the years before Good Friday. The party then did what the voters wanted, and are being rewarded.
As to UUP and DUP, the issues are of course far more complex. For one thing, UUP is far more "British" in outlook.

Someone mentioned your dislike of Ireland in another thread BRTD. Is it just because of their social conservatism or is it something else?

A united Ireland would look nicer on the map, but I have mixed feelings on the issue. I'd like for Ireland to be united but I also don't want the UK to get any smaller.

It wouldn't be the UK anymore. It'd be Great Britain.

(Btw, I'm not at all sure I support a united Ireland. I'm fine with Northern Irish independence with some sort of guarantor function for Ireland and Britain... which is sort of what we already got anyways.)

It's a place unlike anywhere else. Reason enough.
