Here's a summary + supporting evidence in the form of a **Mighty Thread** using @ARK_info data 📊 & work with @BenRosher [🙌].
Right so.
Do public opinion, #GE19 & #Brexit make a United Ireland inevitable? 🧐
TL;DR: No.

@IrishTimesOpEd @ARK_info @BenRosher Reason why DUP is under pressure isn't due to a general ‘greening’ of NI electorate nor down to any fabled ‘pan-nationalist front’.
They lost because of a pro-#Remain vote coming from unionist voters as well as nationalist ones
+ those who don't identity with either. #Neither

@IrishTimesOpEd @ARK_info @BenRosher @CathalPMc & I argued: "to be Neither Unionist nor Nationalist does not automatically mean you vote for an ‘alternative’ or middle ground party such as Alliance."

Neithers vote across the spectrum & –more notably– many don’t vote at all
...Until #GE19?

Interesting things afoot in political attitudes in N.Ireland.
The majority of people say they are #Neither Unionist nor Nationalist.
This has risen from 1/3 to ½ since 1998.
Here's a thread summarising my paper at the ‘constitutional futures’ conference @ucddublin today.

'Neithers' are likely to have a mix of both British & Irish identities.
This compares to ½ Unionists having exclusively British identities & 72% of Nationalists exclusively Irish identities.
So some 'Neithers' are only British, some only Irish & some ‘other’, i.e. mixed!
