I am looking forward to the French coming in to explain their position. Will those who propose a reserved constituency explain to me what would happen in a general election? The Commission is talking very specifically about our national elections, not the presidential or Seanad elections. Who wishes to explain to me how one would operate the single transferable vote in a general election, as opposed to the French who might have the list system? How would one distribute votes from all over the world that are cast by the diaspora in a reserved constituency? Who would be the candidates in this reserved constituency?
