Leo 3,000 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Disappointing tbh. Did they say why?Religious fundamentalism mostly. The vote was closer than ever though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmm 979 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Would you mind staying on topic? I said it wasn't relevant and it was put in spoilers for a reason, it's added context though given the parallels to Northern Ireland's divide and Israel/Palestine - it's a dimension that is inseparable from almost everything politics here. Disappointing tbh. Did they say why? A highly bigoted political party, all there is to it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmm 979 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Religious fundamentalism mostly. The vote was closer than ever though.Even if the majority was in favour though; wouldn't it then have to pass by a majority of only Unionist MPs though (cus of the petition thingy) which is just as far away ever?

Haroon 49,685 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 So they were 2 votes away from it being accepted? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmm 979 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 So they were 2 votes away from it being accepted? No, they were 2 votes away from it going just to the Unionist parties; where it would have lost 53 - 4 (I'm not sure if that's the exact process but it's a part of the Good Friday Agreement iirc) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycho 3,694 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Don't be discouraged from visiting Ireland everyone, there's a really great gay community over here; it's the people in power that's not with the times. In the Republic of Ireland there's about to be a public vote for gay marriage and everyone's saying that there's a good chance it'll come out positive, if the republic legalises it then that might progress things for Northern Ireland a bit faster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
