Democracy for Scotland but not Northern Ireland? The reconciliation fantasy exposed.
Episode 453
Published 5 days, 10 hours ago
Description
Why does Andy Burnham talk differently about a border poll in Northern Ireland than when he talks about Scotland?
Is he adopting a different tone and if so, why?
On Free State Joe and Dion wonder what reconciliation means and if it should stand in the way of a border poll? If we were to avoid division would we have any election at all? Is there a difference between a routine democratic election and a referendum on subjects that might be divisive? Is the opportunity of bringing real democracy to the north of Ireland the most important consideration in bringing a border poll?
