Change on these Islands - Amendment 1
Leave out all after ‘recent polling’ and insert:
‘suggesting that, if a referendum were to be held today, a majority of people in Northern Ireland would vote to rejoin the European Union; affirms the process for managing constitutional issues as set out in the Good Friday Agreement, which recognises the legitimacy of whatever choice is freely expressed by a majority of people in Northern Ireland with regard to its status, whether they prefer to continue to support the Union with Great Britain or a sovereign united Ireland; and commits to creating a shared future through a system of good government and democratic renewal in Northern Ireland for the benefit of everyone.’
