evidence: Northern Ireland’s electorate voted to remain in the EU with a considerable margin in the recent referendum: 55.8% versus 44.2%. But while the headline result was remain, there was considerable variation across the region: seven out of Northern Ireland’s 18 constituencies voted to leave. The polity was also the region with the lowest turnout: 62.7% – the next lowest being the UK’s other remainer, Scotland, with a 67.2% turnout.
