Description

Presenter Chris Buckler along with former MP’s Ian Paisley and Michelle Gildernew explore issues around the constitutional future and status of Northern Ireland. In this episode, they look at the Middle Ground, an increasingly key group in any discussion about a potential Border Poll. We hear from a ‘Panel of Persuadables’ from the middle ground who have yet to make up their mind about a united Ireland but could be persuaded. We speak to Alliance Party leader Naomi Long and the leader of the Northern Ireland Green Party Mal O’Hara. Latest polling shows an increase in those who see themselves as Northern Irish – how would they vote in any future Border Referendum?
