Ever so efficiently moving forwards to becoming not just an open and friendly country but ever more progressive and forward thinking. Great result in the defending it seems and by any definition - seemingly overwhelming. |

I don’t think it will too long before the new generation start putting pressure on the old fossils that are running N Ireland and drag it kicking and screaming into the present  |

It's certainly been great to see such overwhelming statements coming from most of the population in recent times - this referendum as well as for equal marriage.
It's largely some odd politicians and people who are restraining the masses and Northern Ireland is looking backwards in many ways, based on those who hold too much power. |

the problem is as always the DUP..... they don't want the rules to change, and they don't want to offer a referendum on the subject either.....
i wonder if TM will finally grow a pair on this issue and stand up to arlene foster, of whether she will leave it up to labour to put thru an amendment and give it tacit support by not offically opposing it and letting their backbenchers have a free vote....

Of course TM won't grow a pair. She's frightened of her own shadow. She's not a PM she's a hostage!! |

It's not for Theresa May or Westminster to decide. This is a devolved issue in Northern Ireland and should be left to the power sharing executive in Stormont to decide upon once it's back up and running. |

thats a kop out of an answer... sorry but it is
see this is the problem... they "believe" it is an issue that is devolved to the administration... but it actually hasn't been tested in court
because the problem is that the law in northern ireland is so strict that it only covers where the womans life is in danger....
it doesn't cover r ape (split because the site wont allow that word to be used, it does't cover in cest (again word split because that word is not allowed), it doesn't cover fatal foetal abnormalities..... so if nothern ireland if any of those awful things were to happen... you'd have to hope that northern ireland health authority paid for a trip to the mainland, or you would have to do it privately
and thats where the government in theory "Could" step in and claim human rights, which because the rest of the uk does have that option the women of northern ireland are being treated differently....
see.. the easy answer is for the DUP to do what they did in the south and agree to a referendum, but they could lose the arguement in stormont, and still play the "community card" and nothing to change....
whilst the DUP are so entrenched it wouldn't matter if they were in the majority or minority... |
