Referendum On Votes For Nordies (& The Diaspora)
I was far from convinced that this would happen any time soon. It seemed too much like hoping for turkeys to vote for Christmas to expect a FG government would do anything other than boot the ball into the long grass.
But then they signed up Mark Durkan. Even the most ferocious critics of the SDLP would recognise the calibre of the man. If he is elected this summer he will be perfectly positioned to have a crack at the Aras after Miggeldy. It's certainly a much more obvious plan than him becoming an MEP for Dublin!
So on balance I now feel like this is actually going to happen. Which in turn throws up questions about who the vote should be extended to and under what circumstances.
