Conclusion

The SDLP stands for social democratic values. For the first time in a generation we fight an election knowing that, at its conclusion, we will be part of a partnership administration of Northern Ireland and between North and South. It is essential that the strongest possible number of SDLP candidates is returned on June 25^th to ensure that the Agreement is worked positively and effectively and that the policy ideals and practical objectives outlined in this manifesto begin to work in practice for the benefit of all our people.
