I would like to thank everyone who kindly took the time to complete my recent survey on Brexit and Northern Ireland, following the announcement by the Prime Minister of the Windsor Framework.
You may have heard that last week the Windsor Framework was adopted by both the United Kingdom and the European Union. I was pleased to vote in support of securing Northern Ireland's place in our Union.
I would like to share with you some of the results from this survey and hope you find the below as informative as I did!
If you voted in the 2016 referendum, under the question "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?" did you vote to leave or remain?
Leave – 208
Remain – 146
Would you change your vote if given the ability to?
Yes – 41
No – 313
Do you think the United Kingdom should re-join the European Union?
No – 235
Yes – 129
364 people voted in this survey, when asked 'Which of these issues are most important to you and your family?' the following five issues were most selected:
NHS – 289
Increasing cost of living – 274
The economy – 256
Immigration – 194
Crime – 185
I am pleased to see these echo the Prime Minister's five priorities: Halve Inflation, Grow the Economy, Reduce Debt, Cut Waiting Lists and Stop the Boats.
Who would you like to be next Prime Minister after the next General Election?
Rishi Sunak – 140
Sir Keir Starmer – 89
Sir Ed Davey – 10
'Other' – 125
