Professor Todd stated that not only communities in the South but communities in the North will lose out if Britain exits the EU and that this is not a matter on which politicians in the North have engaged to date. The likelihood is that in three weeks' time the main Unionist Party, the DUP, will win a significant number of the seats available for Northern Ireland, and if the Conservative and Unionist parties require the support of another party to form a new Government, with David Cameron retained as Prime Minister, the DUP may be asked to provide that support. If such a scenario emerges, how much thought would be given by the DUP to the effect of the withdrawal on their communities? Does Professor Todd believe that would form part of the DUP's thinking in advance of doing a coalition deal?
