Yet whether one sits firmly in the Yes or the No camp ahead of this referendum, I think we can all agree that the power of the Irish vote is sacred. Eligible Irish voters should, under no circumstances, be denied their democratic right to shape the future of Ireland. The Union agreed with this statement, passing the motion to financially assist Irish students to return home to vote. A small number of Irish students sat in the middle of the room as our motion to fund Irish students to go #HomeToVote was debated & passed. The motion of the Oxford Students Union, alongside the work of the National Union of Students and other universities across the UK, are prime examples of the active support given to the #Hometovote movement.
