[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 8044739, member: 8735"] About time too, never doubted the people of the ROI as anything other than decent, but was rather disappointed when the likes of Germany and Switzerland did the right thing and your government didn't seize the opportunity. I have heard some TDs speak in a way that supports what you write. But your current and past / future PMs both say nothing in support of it, their parties as a whole don't seem keen, nor does the Dail as a whole. Is that a definite principle which they'll stick to or will they, being politicians, '[I]see it in a different light[/I]' if public opinion becomes overwhelming? I don't know your full legal process for holding referenda; I guess it needs the approval of a majority in both Houses and the President's approval too. But I guess that if there is a groundswell it could become an electoral issue, which would see an inevitable vote so that one party couldn't capitalise on it. If they do 'stick to principle', is there any constitutional way for the people to get a referendum without reference to the Dail, via a large petition or some such? [/QUOTE]
