What happened
A new poll from Queen’s University Belfast indicates that over half of voters in Northern Ireland support the United Kingdom rejoining the European Union. However, the survey found that rejoining requires the UK to adopt the Euro. Support for rejoining was 52% in the latest poll, compared to 57% in a May survey that did not specify obligations. Additionally, over three-quarters of respondents welcome reduced checks on goods moving from Great Britain into Northern Ireland.

The prospect of rejoining the EU and adopting the Euro would fundamentally alter the UK's trade relationship with the continent and its monetary policy framework.
The article discusses the political and economic union of European states, including the potential for Britain to rejoin the EU.
