Unionists are marching towards a No vote and bitter future battles

Article Abstract:

It appears that a majority, or near-majority, of Unionists will reject the Northern Irish peace agreement in the forthcoming referendum. The agreement has revealed a very serious split within Unionism, and it is possible that new party alignments may emerge. It is clear that opposition to the agreement is very deep-seated, with many Protestants not being willing to support an agreement which would bring Gerry Adams into a new government.
