Scrabble?! REPARTITIONS

Definitions of REPARTITIONS in various dictionaries:

The repartition of Ireland has been suggested as a possible solution to the continuing political disagreement in Northern Ireland. The essential problem was that the partition of Ireland was gerrymandered, and, as a result, Northern Ireland contains a large Irish nationalist minority. Much of the Irish nationalist population lives in the south and west of the region, but a significant percentage lives in Belfast and some smaller communities in the north and east, whilst Irish unionists constitute a majority of the population in the north and east of the region with some smaller communities in the south and west. The geographical area in which unionists are a majority is less than half of Northern Ireland (see graphic below), but eastern areas have a much higher population density. Collectively, Northern Ireland is split, with unionists comprising approximately 48% of the population, and falling quickly. At the last general election in 2017, unionists secured 11/18 of the seats, but for the first in a region wide election, just under 50% of the vote. None of the proposals for repartition are currently supported by any political party in Ireland.
