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.

    I feel like brexit should have required a 60% majority. It’s changed things so drastically for people living there, a simple majority seems like there were a bunch if rich people just hoping enough propaganda tipped the scales in their favor.
