Deadlock in Northern Ireland: LGBT+ and Abortion Rights in Limbo

Stormont has lain empty for over 2 years, with no debates, votes or bills having taken place since the power sharing government collapsed in 2017. Life changing decisions for the people of Northern Ireland have been postponed. The law on two key social issues puts Northern Ireland apart from the rest of the UK, the strict restrictions on abortion and the ban on gay marriage. These two campaigns are voicing their disbelief at the lack of progress and the seeming unwillingness of Westminster to intervene.
