Okay. The bigger question could be is how you learnt this now. Considering it interested you enough to post about it.

You open Wikipedia and repeatedly press the random article button until you get an article you wanna post about.

Wikipedia surfing, in relation to something I heard about the voting franchise in Northern Ireland being behind the rest of the UK in giving one man(/person), one vote.

I was surprised as we covered a lot of the Northern Ireland stuff in school but mainly starting in 1972, and the parliament and its dissolution wasn't mentioned at all. It seems a fairly substantial thing to just ignore and not teach in the slightest, and definitely important in understanding where problems started from.

And I have never heard it brought up during any of the coverage of northern Ireland at all. Seems a very odd thing to ignore.
