The North Antrim MP has denied his proposed legislation would be 'changing the goalposts' for any border poll on a united Ireland
DUP MP Ian Paisley's Westminster bill which seeks to require a "super-majority" in future UK referendums is set to be debated on St Patrick's Day.It will be the first opportunity for MPs to debate the main principles of the bill, which aims to require a "super-majority" to permit UK constitutional change in future referendums.A super-majority vote stipulates that a higher percentage is required than a simple majority of 51% for a proposal to be passed.
He argued the bill echoes the sentiments of nationalist leaders who have said a majority significantly above "50% plus one" would be preferable in an Irish unity vote to ensure "stability". At the end of the debate, MPs decide whether the bill should be given its second reading, meaning it can proceed to the next stage.Last year Mr Paisley said his bill was aimed at ensuring "stability".
The bill was dismissed as a "stunt" last year by the Alliance Party and the SDLP, while Sinn Féin accused the DUP of "having trouble respecting democracy".
