Rejected petition Set up First Time Buyer Scheme in N.I. that matches the one offered in England
There is a very reasonable help to buy scheme offered by the government for England only...fun that. The fact being that the Government is making it much easier for those in England than the rest of the UK just shows the problems with the current Government
More details
The devolved "government" of NI no doubt has the ability to make these schemes possible in Northern Ireland, but with the constant cutting back on funding for Northern Ireland makes it so Stormont would not be able to provide us with these schemes. It is only right that in a "democracy" that if they can give to one country, they should give to all country or none at all. This only pushes a further divide in NI and we know how that went in years past. The progress is not stagnant, its backwards.
