Gavin Robinson predicts ‘strong and positive future’ for Northern Ireland within the UK
DUP Leader Gavin Robinson said he 'can guarantee' Northern Ireland will be part of the UK in 50 years' time. Photograph: Niall Carson/PA Wiresaid unionists could not be complacent about the maintenance of the union, as he acknowledged the need to convince the growing number of non-aligned middle-ground voters in Northern Ireland of the case for the constitutional status quo.
In his interview with PA, Mr Robinson offered his view on the relative strength of the union between Britain and Northern Ireland – given the turbulence created by Brexit and intensifying calls from within nationalism for a border poll. “So, I’m very confident about our position, not only as unionists within Northern Ireland, but for the United Kingdom as a whole and the four constituent parts.
His downplaying of any risk to the union stands in contrast to one of the DUP’s unionist rivals, the Traditional Unionist Voice party, which accuses both Donaldson and Mr Robinson of botching negotiations to remove post-Brexit barriers on internal UK trade. At his election manifesto launch on Friday, TUV leader Jim Allister claimed the union had never been in a more perilous state as a consequence.
“And they recognise that we have made progress continually over cycle after cycle, and that that work remains an active part of what we are engaged with, and what we will deliver in the next parliament coming forward.” “So, with the Windsor Framework , we said very clearly whilst there was progress, it wasn’t sufficient to see restoration of devolution.
