WHAT'S YOUR OPINION on ....... Voting Rights for Emigrants?
I am interested to know your views on voting rights for Irish emigrants. This is an issue which I have spoken on before and I really want to push again for change in this area. I am aware that there are views both strongly for and strongly against allowing Irish emigrants to vote from abroad, in our national elections but I’d like to know what the majority opinion is. I would also be interested to know if the “anti” people are open to restricted eligibility for emigrant voting. Have a look at my online survey and put your views across.
In my last poll I asked whether or not you believed there should be an enquiry into the current Irish banking crisis. The results of this poll showed a clear consensus – 100% of respondents believed there should be an enquiry.
