In fairness to Fine Gael (never thought I'd hear myself say those words), they have floated the idea of letting Northerners vote in Presidential elections. The objection most raised against this, or any extension to include referenda, is the 'no representation without taxation' argument. Presumably the immigrants will be working or looking for work in the State, paying taxes there etc. whereas Northern people are stuck with the British Exchequer. So goes the argument...<br />Of course, a cynic might say that the real reason Southern parties are in no hurry to extend political representation Northwards is the presence in the North of tens and tens of thousands of rather radically minded Republicans. I couldn't possibly comment.AntainMacLochlainnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965333981619997978.post-29765069129462710092012-06-21T09:17:18.964+01:002012-06-21T09:17:18.964+01:00I doubt if either will be in a hurry to clarify th...I doubt if either will be in a hurry to clarify that. Perhaps we, here in the north, should go to Dublin and register as Irish Citizens and then be able to vote. Hold on I'm confused. Did not the GFA/BA say that those born in Northern Ireland were Irish Citizens if they wanted to be?<br />Can Irish citizens resident outside the state vote in Irish elections? If the newbes come north but still hyave an accommodation address in the 26 can they still vote? Thanks Jude, I'll be a state of confusion all day now. Now where was I?pj dorriaNnoreply@blogger.com
