A group of young people have voiced frustration and anger at the “democratic deficit” in Northern Ireland. We have a democratic deficit here in NI, but we will continue to engage and take a stand for our future! Aron Hughes, 17, from west Belfast, said young people in Northern Ireland are frustrated at their lack of representation. Young people in Northern Ireland are having to represent themselves in Stormont! The DUP are on the hard side of Brexit whereas Northern Ireland did vote to Remain, while Sinn Fein don’t take their seats, so we are severely underrepresented.
