Tell me please, what proportion of this lovely liberal population go out and vote for DUP/SF/UUP at whatever chance they get. NI's problem is its people, stop absolving them of any responsibility for the democracy they deliver.
kl-
It's the same as saying the Iraq war was done because the UK's problem is its people. The general population didn't agree either.
Democracy is not perfect and Stormont is higly disfunctional, several court cases have been brought against lack of current guidelines for abortion, since 2010 no new ones have been brought and the previous AT rewrote very them very strict. With no mandate. Just cos the DUP assigned the health minister.
I wish people would stop voting for those groups yes, but here it's more complex. Despite court cases, media attention and protests the issue just gets ignored. (Bar by david ford)

If I may...
Most polls in NI have indicated support for this since, oh, forever. Please don't confuse the fuckers in Stormont with the general population.
Religion is firmly to blame though.
And Westminster did a deal with the DUP to get detention with no trial they agreed to drop a debate on the fucked up NI abortion laws. Yep, Tories.
