Its candidate, local MLA Paula Bradshaw, did not budge.

The first two on the DUP and N. Belfast and Sinn Féin and Foyle are available by clicking on the links.
Rather than trying to integrate Catholics, they were seen by many as potential enemies of the state. Emeritus Professor at Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne and founding Member of Progressive Pulse. The SDLP will deliver reform of councils, decentralise government jobs and seek enhanced North-South co-operation in service delivery. She sets out her message to those considering a vote for Bradshaw. The Belfast Telegraph is a member of IPSO and subscribes to its Editors' Code of Practice There’s so much in contention in this region that pacts are a necessary evil.” She hopes, as many in the SDLP do privately, that they do not become the default.

His understanding of economic development and the tools available to government that can transform places and the lives of people is second to none and will be an immense asset as we attract new jobs and new industries to this city. It is the sort of electoral cooperation in the name of a greater good that Remainers in England would kill for. A raft of pro-EU campaigning organisations agree with her analysis, and have endorsed her – as has Keir Starmer. The SDLP has selected Matthew O’Toole as an MLA for South Belfast following Claire Hanna’s election to the House of Commons last month. With a strong background in economic policy, having worked across government and the private sector, Matthew brings an immense amount of experience that will be critical to our efforts to rebalance Northern Ireland’s economy, attract new jobs and defend people here from the impact of Brexit. If you have a question about your planning application or any other questions regarding the Council’s new planning powers. The Constitutional Nationalists largely coalesced to form the SDLP; the PIRA was the main vehicle for those who felt force was justified. “But this is an extraordinary election. So what does Hanna say to those flirting with Alliance? The Progressive Pulse is a centre-left blog seeking a fairer society for all. Gerry Fitt, who captured the W. Belfast seat in 1966 for Republican Labour, sponsored our class for a school trip to Stormont in May ’68. At Westminster, however, it is a rather different story. I believe very firmly that I can win. With a strong background in economic policy, having worked across government and the private sector, Matthew brings an immense amount of experience that will be critical to our efforts to rebalance Northern Ireland’s economy, attract new jobs and defend people here from the impact of Brexit. The current MP is Claire Hanna of the SDLP.

Belfast South contains not only the Queen’s University but many of the more wealthy of the Belfast suburbs. The SDLP and the Alliance Party have selected their candidates to fight the South Belfast constituency, if a snap Westminster election is called. The chronicle of events is documented on the Conflict and Politics in Northern Ireland (CAIN) site, but things rapidly spiralled out of control from 1968 and led to the Troubles. So how will she vote? It is sometimes said that Belfast South is the closest thing in Northern Ireland to a parliamentary seat you could conceivably find in Great Britain: largely affluent, religiously mixed, and home to a large university and student population. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

The SDLP currently hold no Westminster seats but have a good chance of retaking Foyle and are odds-on to take South Belfast.

Mr O’Toole has a background in economic policy and communications having worked in roles in the private sector and in government, including in both the UK Treasury and 10 Downing Street. The NI civil rights movement was very much inspired by the US Black civil rights struggle, Martin Luther King, in particular, and the power of peaceful protest. It is difficult to argue with. They have given Sinn Féin, the UUP, and Alliance the nod elsewhere. They could have delivered the backstop, which was fairly popular – even if those of us who are Remainer purists struggled with it.

I am committed to never using language that inflames, incites or divides but rather I hope to provide constructive and creative input to discussions on commemorations, emblems and other potentially divisive topics. This time she and her peers will vote for Hanna, who she believes has a “unique ability to transcend the constitutional question” and, more bluntly, her increasingly unfashionable party label. South Belfast is expected to be a tight race between the DUP’s Emma Little Pengelly and the SDLP’s Claire Hanna.

She says Green voters, of whom there were 2,241 in 2017, are turned off by the pact.

She is the SDLP … “The media have got so excited about headcount politics, putting the Sinn Fein vote on top of the SDLP vote,” Bradshaw, who came a competitive but not terribly close third in 2017, told me ahead of a Saturday afternoon canvassing session in the Markets, a nationalist estate. I hope you find it a useful source of information on my work on the Council and my political priorities. The PR voting system for the NI Parliament (Stormont), was regressively changed to FPTP in 1929. She is going to lose ground on that. Three prominent organisations involved were: the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA), the Derry Housing Action Committee (DHAC) and the People’s Democracy (PD). I left the party because it didn’t work, and in many ways I don’t agree with their policies.
