Wikipedia surfing, in relation to something I heard about the voting franchise in Northern Ireland being behind the rest of the UK in giving one man(/person), one vote.
I was surprised as we covered a lot of the Northern Ireland stuff in school but mainly starting in 1972, and the parliament and its dissolution wasn't mentioned at all. It seems a fairly substantial thing to just ignore and not teach in the slightest, and definitely important in understanding where problems started from.
And I have never heard it brought up during any of the coverage of northern Ireland at all. Seems a very odd thing to ignore.

I daresay that there would be an English parliament if England was 50% of the population rather than 85%
