Brexit would threaten UK and North - Britain’s EU membership vote

IT IS difficult to square the pro-Brexit position taken by the Democratic Unionist Party with commonsense, foresight or even sanity.

Northern Ireland’s First Minister Arlene Foster has justified her party’s stance on the grounds that the deal struck by British Prime Minister David Cameron did not go far enough to secure fundamental reform of the EU.

In doing so, she has aligned herself and her party with UKIP leader Nigel Farage who is leading the campaign for Brexit, mostly on the grounds of migration to the UK from other EU states.
