Is this so? I know that a majority of the Northern Irish have voted against Brexit, like the Scots. Thats what I read to be reported at least, I do not know any Irish myself. And while the Protestants are the majority still, birth rates show that Catholics grow against them and the balance is shifitng in favour of the Catholic side. And the Catholics prefer union with the Republic of Ireland.


So the deciding question is what the Northern Irish rate as more important: remaining to be part of the UK or remaining in the EU.



And I think this is what should decide it. Not some written rule on an ancient paper. I stick to my line in these issues, like I argued the same way about the issue of Catalunya.



Are there any polls done answering this question with representative statistics?
