Not "reality" Stonker, an error encouraged by Republican propaganda of the mid 1960's.
All businesses whether Jew, Catholic,, Hindu, Protestant, or Agnostic, had a local government vote for each LG district in which they paid rates for premises - to a maximum of two votes I believe. This was a system just recently (early 1960's?) discontinued in the rest of the UK and due to be ended in NI as well. It seemed fair when introduced a century before - if you pay taxes you have a vote.
Every adult had one vote in local, NI Government, and Westminster elections regardless of religion and whether employed or not (what a silly notion by the way- or perhaps not - should we adopt such a system today?)
