So, the EU should reply to the UK that they would propose that the backstop can be terminated by a majority of the people of NI in a public vote. Arlenes meaning of democratic consent is that a party of ~30% support could veto the will of the other parties. It will be impossible for her and all the 17.4 million voters crowd to deny that a straight up majority vote is even better democratic consent
