The 2014 Life & Times Survey addressed this to an extent by choosing two of the options from the identity question: British and Irish. It found that, while 28% of respondents stated they felt "British not Irish" and 26% felt "Irish not British", 39% of respondents felt some combination of both identities. Six percent chose 'other description'.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Countries_of_the_United_Kingdom?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-ark.ac.uk-55">[50]</a>[<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">failed verification</a>] The identity question is confounded further by identity with politics and religion, and particularly by a stance on the constitutional status of Northern Ireland. Again in 2014, the Life & Times Survey asked what respondents felt should be the "long term future for Northern Ireland". 66% of respondents felt the future should be as a part of the UK, with or without devolved government. 17% felt that Northern Ireland should unify with the Republic of Ireland. 50% of specifically Roman Catholics considered that the long-term future should be as part of the UK, with 32% opting for separation. 87% of respondents identifying as any Protestant denomination opted for remaining part of the UK, with only 4% opting for separation. Of those respondents who declared no religion, 62% opted for remaining part of the UK, with 9% opting for separation.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Countries_of_the_United_Kingdom?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-ark.ac.uk-55">[50]</a> Following <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Devolution?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#United_Kingdom" title="Devolution">devolution</a> and the significant broadening of autonomous governance throughout the UK in the late 1990s, debate has taken place across the United Kingdom on the relative value of full <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Independence?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Independence">independence</a>,<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Countries_of_the_United_Kingdom?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-56">[51]</a> an option that was rejected<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Countries_of_the_United_Kingdom?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-57">[52]</a> by the Scottish people in the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/2014_Scottish_independence_referendum?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="2014 Scottish independence referendum">2014 Scottish independence referendum</a>. <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Cornwall?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Cornwall">Cornwall</a> is administered as a county of England, but the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Cornish_people?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Cornish people">Cornish people</a> are a recognised national minority, included under the terms of the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Framework_Convention_for_the_Protection_of_National_Minorities?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities">Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities</a> in 2014.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Countries_of_the_United_Kingdom?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-ReferenceB-58">[53]</a><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Countries_of_the_United_Kingdom?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-govcornish-59">[54]</a> Within Cornwall, 13.8 per cent of the population associated themselves with a Cornish identity, either on its own or combined with other identities, according to the 2011 census.

This is the question of what name to give to the various geographical entities. These names can be controversial, with the choice often revealing one's political preferences. ... some refer to Northern Ireland as a 'province'. That usage can arouse irritation particularly among nationalists, who claim the title 'province' should be properly reserved to the four historical provinces of Ireland-Ulster, Leinster, Munster, and Connacht.
