Delivering CONSTRUCTIVE OPPOSITION to the sectarian consensus!
A growing Alliance team ambitious for Northern Ireland
Read Alliance's response to the 2008 Budget and Programme for Government.
-
Our team of 7 MLAs, 32 Councillors and hundreds of volunteer activists are working across Northern Ireland to build a better society:
-
we're working to build a society free of segregation, sectarianism and prejudice where everyone - Catholic or Protestant, black or white, local or immigrant, rich or poor, young or old - can live their live the way they want, free from fear
-
we're working to build a society where we don't need to run cap in hand to Westminster to keep our public services working; one where we empower business to generate enough wealth to fund the services we all benefit from
we're working to create a sustainable society - where our beautiful environment is cherished, where we don't spend money we don't have and where the rights of individual are not smothered by the demands of the state and big institutions
Alliance believes that Northern Ireland should be the best place to live and work in Europe - we don't accept the second rate!
