Keep up the pressure for change - Vote Sinn Féin
Next week's election to the new Six County assembly is the most
important for nationalists in many years. The hope generated by
the Good Friday Agreement will only be realised if the political
representatives of nationalism ensure that progress is made on
the range of issues which affect people's daily lives and that
the scope for development of the all-Ireland structures is
explored.
Sinn Féin's peace strategy, Gerry Adams's dialogue with John
Hume, the subsequent nationalist consensus and the IRA cessations
were the dynamic which led to the peace process, to all-party
talks and eventually real political negotiations.
For political progress to continue, the momentum generated by
republicans and nationalists must be maintained at this critical
juncture. It is incumbent upon nationalists across the Six
Counties to come out in the greatest numbers ever to return
Assembly representatives who will maintain the momentum for
political change.
The choice before the people is to decide which party in the
forthcoming election is more likely to deliver on the
opportunities and promises contained in the Good Friday agreement
and which are more likely to continue with the failed policies of
the past.
Sinn Féin sees the Good Friday Agreement and the institutions
which arise from it as transitional and wishes to progress
towards national unity and independence, which is the right of
the Irish people.
For the SDLP the Good Friday Agreement is an end in itself. For
Sinn Féin it is only a beginning. Sinn Féin intends to push the
Good Friday Agreement to its limits and beyond. The party intends
to maximise the all-Ireland dimension, to pursue the
establishment of a new policing service, the release of all
political prisoners, equal rights for the Irish language, and
equality in all aspects of life and for all sections of our
people.
The most effective way for people to use their vote in the
election on 25 June is to vote for Sinn Féin. Sinn Féin is
dedicated to pursuing the people's desire for change. Every vote
for Sinn Féin will help deliver that change.
