evidence: Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU by a margin of 56% to 44%. John Garry (Queen’s University Belfast) explains that there is a strong division behind this outcome, different ethno-national groups voted very differently in the referendum. Yet, he observes, that with regard to the Brexit process there is a strong consensus on the need to avoid a hard north/south border. Voting was very strongly linked to the underlying divide in Northern Ireland between Catholic nationalists (who tend to identify as Irish and favour a united Ireland) and Protestant unionists (who tend to identify as British and favour maintaining Northern Ireland as part of the United Kingdom). [...] Leave voters in Northern Ireland tended to be those ‘left behind’ by globalisation (working class, less skilled and educated voters with socially conservative views) while the ‘winners’ of the globalisation process (young, educated, skilled multi-culturalists) tended to be pro- Remain.
