Nothing tricky at all about it for Sinn Fein. The people they represent, along with a fair number of their unionist neighbors, voted to remain. So there is no inconsistency whatsoever in respecting the wishes of a referendum on abortion. What happens on that other island east of the Irish Sea is no concern of theirs.
Recent polls have shown that were the vote taken today, the remain vote would be even higher, among both communities.
