An unintended result of Brexit maybe a United Ireland and Scotland going its own way. NI was only a matter of time, but that timing might have been accelerated.

But for opposing reasons.
Quote:
The DUP said it would vote against the deal "as a point of principle and not because we supported a no deal option".
"A free trade deal is better than no deal but for Northern Ireland this deal does not undo the detrimental aspects of the [Northern Ireland] Protocol," added the party.

John O'Dowd, Sinn Féin's chief whip at Stormont, said it was important the assembly was recalled to "reaffirm our opposition to Brexit and reiterate our call for the full implementation" of the withdrawal agreement and Northern Ireland Protocol.
