Replying To tireoghainabu:  "it's a pity the Brits weren't as concerned for the minority religion in the six counties, instead they oversea an electoral system which at it's core was a one party majority system for ever more."
Agreed. I don't know enough about that period of history in NI to make much comment other than to say, or ask, did Carson and his ilk not break from whatever "arrangements" were envisaged for the 6 counties and unilaterally made up their own rules - with no sanction from London ?

Replying To supersub15:  "Is it absolutely nessary to use the PR system especially in this instance to elect our new President in particular when their is only a small hand full of candidates, first home is a fairer option in this case.

In my opinion we don't need a President simply because our Tainste is more than capable of filling the roll and carrying out the duties of President."
Who would people rather see win today; Jim Gavin or Billy Kelleher?

The selection of the preferred candidate between Jim Gavin and Billy Kelleher will be done more so on principle than preferred choice.
