Legislate a Democratic Exit Clause for All Nations of the United Kingdom
Legislate to create a democratic, peaceful withdrawal process for any UK nation from the Union. We believe that without a more clearly codified exit route, the Union could risk becoming involuntary. We think this could undermine democracy and breach the UK’s international obligations.
The UK is often described as a voluntary union of 4 nations. Of these, we think Northern Ireland has the most clearly codified route to leave. We see this as a democratic imbalance, and a political inequality. Without legal clarity we believe the Union risks becoming permanent by law not by consent, and that the outcome would contradict the Good Friday Agreement. Even the EU has Article 50 to uphold consent.
