evidence: In considering this claim, it is important to take into account the positions of other parties who designate as "Unionist" – as well as the views of those who describe themselves as "Unionist", more generally. When exploring whether the DUP have opposed the NI Protocol, it is important to ask: which one? And what constitutes "day one" with regard to the NI Protocol? [...] An April 2022 a poll conducted by the Institute for Irish Studies at the University of Liverpool found that 21% Unionists indicated that the NI Protocol was the most important issue that concerns them (in contrast to 2% of Nationalists, and 4% of neither Unionist or Nationalist respondents). Similarly, in 2021, Lucid Talk surveyed Unionist voters’ attitudes to the Protocol with 91% supporting its abolition and just 6% supporting keeping it in place. [...] The DUP along with other Unionist parties have all opposed the Protocol as outlined in the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement. Polls also suggested a lack of support for the NI Protocol among the Unionist community, more generally.
