DUBLIN - Voters in Northern Ireland want the softest possible Brexit and would prefer checks on goods traveling between Great Britain and Northern Ireland rather than checks on the Irish border, a poll for the Irish Times showed on Friday.
A significant majority, 67 percent, support a Brexit in which the United Kingdom stays in the EU’s single market and customs union, so avoiding the need for checks anywhere, the Irish Times/Ipsos MRBI poll showed. The poll found that Northern Irish voters are deeply dissatisfied with the management of Brexit by the UK government and, most significantly, with the Democratic Unionist Party, the Northern Irish party which props up Prime Minister Theresa May’s government.
A parallel poll in Ireland found that almost half of all voters south of the border favor a referendum on Irish unity and a clear majority would vote in favor of unification.
