No doubt people will say, “Well, we are where we are. The European Union have their position, this Parliament has decided and that’s it”. Quite frankly, I do not subscribe to that theory of politics or that counsel of despair. Those who argue that seem to think that nothing changes. If somebody had said in 2010 that within five or six years we would have left the European Union, you would have been laughed out of court. If somebody had said after Donald Trump’s defeat a few short years ago and all that happened after it that he would be back in power, you would been laughed out of court. I believe that the terms under which Northern Ireland is now governed are so iniquitous, so unsound, so undemocratic, so contrary to the constitutional rights of the people of Northern Ireland that they cannot and will not endure, and that maybe not this Government but a future Government will look afresh at what has happened.
