In signing the GFA, the UK effectively gave up on it's sovereignty over NI. That was never going to happen through "peaceful and democratic means"

What makes it giving up sovereignty? I understand it creates the potential for separation in future but not yet. The devolution of Scotland and Wales happened peacefully a couple(?) of years later, and Scotland may also separate in future.

It's difficult to make out if this is ignorance, a poor attempt at satire or simply trolling.

The rabbit hole goes much deeper than simply "they gave up on sovereignty"
