Two nationalist voices
McLaughlin can join Hume in Europe
By voting for Sinn Féin on 10 June, Six-County nationalists will be voting
to consolidate and build a strategy to achieve a lasting peace based on
democracy, freedom, justice and equality.
Voters across Ireland are contending in their daily lives with economic
neglect, urban and rural decline, unemployment, homelessness, inadequate
housing, low wages, under-resourced schools, hospital waiting lists,
corruption in government, centralisation of government and a complete lack
of local democracy.
Sinn Féin is alone in running candidates across Ireland that are working to
tackle these issues. In the Six Counties, Mitchel MacLaughlin is the Sinn
Féin EU candidate.
This week, in an exclusive interview with An Phoblacht, McLaughlin outlines
the case for giving Sinn Féin a number one vote in the forthcoming
elections. He says that electing a Sinn Féin MEP would be vital to the
peace strategy and argues that it is possible for Sinn Fein to take one of
the two unionist MEPs' seats.
It is crucially important therefore, that all republicans turn out on 10
June (Six Counties) and 11 June (26 Counties) and vote Sinn Féin.
