If representation is a fundamental human right, then the residents of North Belfast should demand it
Recently BBC Radio Ulster Talkback debated this demand.
Senator Niall Ó Donnghaile of Sinn Fein stated that people living in the ‘North of Ireland”’who hate Brexit and see themselves as Irish and EU citizens must have MEP representation in Brussels.
He also said “it is the most fundamental human right of every citizen to have a franchise and elected representation”.

Hide AdNow, this Sinn Fein driven project is interesting because residents of North Belfast are denied the ‘right to elected representation’ by abstentionist John Finucane SF MP.
This policy flies in the face of the SF demand for EU representation post Brexit for NI citizens.
The disenfranchised North Belfast citizens must urgently seek a judicial review into their lack of representation in the House of Commons.
