Tootler BS: Irish referendum (165* d) RE: BS: Irish referendum 30 May 18


Steve,

While you may be right in theory, practical politics says the the Westminster government has to tread very carefully given the divisive nature of NI politics. While I have no truck with May's Tory government, I suspect they would have been reluctant to act even if they were't in thrall to the DUP.

If there was strong and compelling evidence that the NI people would welcome an intervention to legislate for abortion, then the Westminster government should go ahead, but first they need to have that strong amd compelling evidence which at the moment they do not have. It's possible that NI's people would welcome such an intervention but we don't know if that's the case and it may not be so until they have such evidence, they should tread carefully.
