Ready for government
Sinn Féin is ready for government and ready to build a new
Ireland for all our people. The strong Yes vote for the Good
Friday Agreement demonstrated a huge sense of hope throughout
Ireland. The challenge now is to translate that vote into support
for those parties committed to delivering real change.
Republicans are at the forefront of changing the Irish political
landscape. It was Sinn Féin's peace strategy which created the
present opportunity for peace and it will be Sinn Féin's presence
in the Assembly, the Executive and the all-Ireland Ministerial
Council which will be the surest guarantee of real political
change.
Irish unity and independence are the best context within which to
tackle the political, social and other inequalities which face
the the Irish people. Sinn Féin sees the Good Friday Agreement
and the institutions which have emerged from it as part of a
transitional process to a national democracy. Sinn Féin is
looking beyond the present situation and towards a future based
on freedom, justice and peace.
A vote for Sinn Féin is a vote to disband the RUC, for an end to
Orange coat-trailing in nationalist areas, for equality of
opportunity for all sections of our society, for equal rights and
respect for the Irish language and for the release of all
political prisoners.
A vote for Sinn Féin is a vote for the continuance of the peace
process. Sinn Féin has been the dynamic for change over the past
number of years. The best way to ensure that the pace of
political progress continues is to go out and vote Sinn Féin on
25 June.
