Jacqui ☘️PS Northern Ireland folk...the fact that <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/voterid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#voterid</a> has been normal for us since 2002, should be a nice reminder that we are a place apart and never really been part of this 'precious union'So remember that when we go vote today in <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/ge2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ge2024</a> for a parliament that we only have 18 seats in and our MP'S are regularly ignored and debates about NI take place in an but empty chamber. The <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/ge2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ge2024</a> in <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/NI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NI</a> is about sending a message to our parties but one party in particular.
