Sir, – In the upcoming referendum, which may or may not propose the abolition of the Seanad, would it not be reasonable to offer two or more propositions, to which voters could apply first, second and other preferences?
In the case of the Seanad, this could range from simple abolition to one or more aspirations of reform. In the case, for example, of abortion, this could range from “absolutely not, never” to “on demand”. It is not as if the electorate would not understand the procedure. – Yours, etc,
