Have Unionist leaders historically failed their community by pursuing antagonistic rhetoric? Is a majority of 51% in a border referendum truly democratic? How have the mainstream media and social media shaped (and misled?) political debate? Is the GFA exacerbating notions of opposing communities rather than fostering an inclusive spirit?
