As far as I can make out among those opposed to such a vote in N.Ireland are the DUP.Doesn't the D in DUP stand for democratic?So you have a democratic party opposed to the idea of people having a vote :D :D

The issue in Ireland (Eire) was that it was part of their constitution. The people of Eire get to vote in a referendum whether they want to amend their constitution, and AIUI the result is binding on their politicians.

The issue in NI is that it is a law not part of our Constitution. In the UK laws are passed by politicians elected by the public. The public don't get to have referenda on laws in the UK (or NI). Parliament is Sovereign, not the public. The public get to elect the politicians - that's it.

The Northern Irish assembly took a vote on the subject two years ago and voted against.  ;)
Those who are now pressurising Theresa the appeaser to bring it into law in Norn Irn over the heads of their politicians are clutching at straws and hoping she will do it, lose the DUP support, and stop BREXIT in its tracks.
Some people call it politics, some people might call it a bit sick.

Another irony is that the same people who are putting pressure on the Maybot to impose new abortion laws on Northern Ireland in the absence of a Northern Ireland government, are those who would be totally outraged if Westminster imposed it's will over the Scots or Welsh governments in any other devolved areas.  ::)

Lord Opti's dream girl Shami springs to mind.  :P

Shami argued the point strongly on some programme or other yesterday. She got into a bit of hot water though by stating that it was more important than democracy !  :o

Yes.  It's not as if the Shadow Attorney General has any sort of democratic mandate or constituents to answer to.  ::)  >:(

Socialism only single aim is to rob the haves* of everything they have worked their 'dangle berries' off for in order to support the greater good, ie themselves feed the poor and needy.  >:(

* The haves in the is case being the working and middle classes...
