[QUOTE="Coach and Six, post: 6880613, member: 8569"] The UUP approach is riskier to a lot of unionists: give nationalists what they want, make the most of the protocol and embrace access to the EU market etc. That way moderate and middle class nationalists are far less likely to vote for a United Ireland because if you're reasonably well off and happy why would you risk destabilizing the state you live in? A stable, prosperous NI isn't good for DUP or Shinners no matter what they say. There are parallels with other conflicts like Hamas and Nethanyahu's support base. The UUP approach is based on making republicans and nationalists less angry and exercised about identity issues by making concessions. Many unionists feel that nationalists will just keep turning the screw and demanding more and more concessions and they will be waltzed into a United Ireland. The border poll is the big one. That's why there will always be big divisions in unionism. The DUP and hardline Loyalist approach is resist absolutely everything now for as long as possible because if you concede on this issue, nationalists will just replace it with another immediately.
