After two years of Stormont collapse caused by tensions over post-Brexit trading arrangements, an opinion poll has found two-thirds of voters in Northern Ireland would choose to rejoin the EU.

Weighted to reflect the population, 62% chose to rejoin, 35% to stay out while 3% were unsure or offering no opinion.

In the original 2016 referendum, the UK-wide result narrowly passed Brexit by 51.89%. At the time in north, 56% of voters had chosen to remain with 44% choosing to leave.

    The UK was hurt a lot, but we should not look down on them. Our Union lost a Member. That made us all weaker.

    And if they ever want to come back, let us all put out our Hands and welcome them back. They don’t need to be ridiculed, they suffered fairly the most from their actions. And it would take a lot of courage to admit they were wrong.

      No, they chose to leave if the EU just welcomes them back what message does that show, that the Union is not just optional but you can hop in and out at will, that would be a terrible political move.
