evidence: - 6 in 10 respondents (60%) agree that the Windsor Framework is the best available compromise for addressing the concerns of people in Northern Ireland with the original Protocol. One third (33%) disagree. [...] More than two thirds of respondents (70%) agree that ‘particular arrangements’ for Northern Ireland are needed to manage the effects of Brexit. This is the same as in October 2022 and February 2023, but slightly lower than in June 2023 (73%). The proportion of all respondents being strongly of this view (48%) is just below the highest figure recorded (50%) in June 2023 and June 2022. [...] The fifth section of the poll focused on specific aspects of the Windsor Framework and its implications and asked respondents whether they agreed or disagreed with certain specific statements (See Figure 7). A first question asked whether the Protocol/Windsor Framework, although it remains contested, is realistically the best available compromise for addressing the concerns of people in Northern Ireland on the implementation of the original Protocol. A majority (60%) agree; a third (33%) disagree. The overwhelming majority (≥85%+) of nationalist and ‘neutral’ voters agree; ‘slightly unionist’ voters are split between agree and disagree; and ‘slightly unionist’ voters overwhelming disagree.
