Over 50% of Protestants in Northern Ireland are in favour of lifting the ban on abortion, with 63% of Protestant voters under 40 in favour of same-sex marriage, according to a study by the University of Liverpool.

A post-election survey carried out by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), found younger pro-union Protestants feel alienated by unionist parties due to their social conservatism.
