Episode 22: The North Poll

Year ‘21

Available for over a year

The first election in Northern Ireland is an early try-out for proportional representation. Unionists take advantage of the system of transferrable votes, and most of the seats in the new Parliament. Ireland is split. Not just politically and geographically – but culturally too. Declan and Tara learn how the two states evolve post-partition.
