Talk:Cross-community vote

Also require a full assembly majority?
Does a cross-community vote require only a majority of unionist and a majority of nationalist votes, or does it also require a majority of the assembly taken as a whole? While it seems politically unlikely, there could be a vote in the current assembly that saw bare majorities of unionist and nationalist votes (28 and 23, respectively), plus no yes votes from the "other" group, which would garner only 51 yes votes out of 108 members. Would the bill pass? --Jfruh (talk) 21:53, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Petition of Concern: more background information needed
Information on the PoC is sadly lacking from the article. It is very much in the news this week with the Johnson proposed alternative to the backstop being a "Stormont Lock" but commentators have noted that the PoC gives tbe DUP a de facto veto on any continuance of it. Could someone closer to the subject please write? I have added a couple of external links I found but both suffer from the "as you all know" syndrome. --Red King (talk) 16:26, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Party dates
What exactly is the point of the dates next to each party? It seems particularly odd to have dates before the existence of the current NI institutions, since the idea of a cross-community vote is a product of the Good Friday Agreement. --Jfruh (talk) 18:03, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Footnote 1 might be a clue: one party proposed to redesignate but never got that far. I can't see the point of this table now either, just three simple lists of status declared after the last election is adequate. (Though how would we know? Does the Assembly have to convene for designations to be recorded?) It is all a bit arcane but the Windsor Framework has thrust it into the floodlights, so we need to record it. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:27, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
