By 2 to 1 the Northern Irish reject unification and thereby reject rejoining EU
EU’s, Republic’s, and Sinn Fein’s hopes to punish the United Kingdom now lie on the EU carpet
In a major weekend poll for the Irish Times which is sure to cause misery in Brussels and Dublin, Northern Irish voters made it abundantly clear there have no desire for a ‘united Ireland’. They prefer to stay in the non-EU United Kingdom by a majority of almost two to one.
Despite all the EU propaganda and despite its attempts via the N.I. Protocol – with the collusion of the Republic of Ireland’s government – to split up the United Kingdom as punishment for leaving the EU’s empire, the latest poll shows the Northern Irish wish to stay in the UK’s Union.
Summary
EU’s plan to split up the United Kingdom is roundly rejected in Northern Ireland
- Only 27% want Irish unification
- Even one in five Catholics opted to stay in the UK
1. Of those who expressed a preference, the poll found:
- Want N.I. to stay in UK : 64.9%
- Want N.I. to leave UK and unify with South : 35.1%

- N.I. Protestants to leave UK and unify with South : 4.8%
- N.I. Catholics to stay in UK : 27.6%
- N.I. Catholics to leave UK and unify with South” : 72.4%

Not only a rejection of Irish ‘unification’ but also a rejection of the EU
To state the obvious, if Northern Ireland were to unify with the Republic of Ireland it would mean the citizens of Northern Ireland would become citizens of the EU, as the Republic is still an EU member country.
The poll results will therefore come as a blow to the Brussels eurocrats, as well as to the government in Dublin.
About the poll
© The Irish Times 2022
This was an Ipsos opinion poll for a new research project into North-South relations and political views on the future of the island. There were twin polls carried out north and south of the border for The Irish Times and the Arins Project. Arins (‘Analysing and Researching Ireland North and South’) is a joint venture between the Royal Irish Academy and the University of Notre Dame.
The two polls and focus group findings were carried out among more than 1,000 voters in Northern Ireland and the Republic in August and September of this year.
