Politics in Northern Ireland
Ian Paisley has introduced a Bill to require supermajorities in any future referendum in the UK.
Thoughts:
This is one way of telling people that you can't win under the current law. Maybe the DUP could change its strategy and persuade people to vote for the union? Nope, why do that when you can change the rules. A story as old as time. A recipe for disaster.

@saraita101 as the kids might say: “tell me there is clear support for a border poll without saying telling me there is clear support for a border poll” (where me = NI Secretary of State)

@saraita101 not sure there is either, but gotta wonder if Ian feels like there might be soon!

@mo certainly makes the unionist side look pretty weak!

@mo see, i don't think there is. which makes this move really stupid.
