Northern Ireland voters back Windsor framework – poll

The Guardian says People in Northern Ireland who support Rishi Sunak’s post-Brexit deal vastly outnumber those who oppose it, according to a survey.

Asked if they opposed the Windsor framework, just 16.9% of voters agreed, suggesting there is a desire to move on from political battles over trading arrangements. Overall 45% of voters did not oppose the revised deal, with around a third neither agreeing or disagreeing.

Nationalists were slightly more opposed to the deal than unionists – 19.1% versus 15.7% – underlining a widespread belief it was a victory for unionism.

The Irish News and the University of Liverpool’s Institute of Irish Studies published the findings on Wednesday as the House of Commons prepared for the first parliamentary vote on the deal agreed last month by Downing Street and the European Union.
