Belfast South - A Shared Future

We should champion integrated education in Northern Ireland.
We should celebrate mixed communities and invest in expanding inclusive public spaces.
We should have commissions in place to discuss & solve contentious issues in Northern Ireland such as: parading, flags, the past, etc.
There should be no paramilitary flags, symbolism or "territory" marking in Northern Ireland.
The killing of innocent people is always wrong regardless of the background of the perpetrator and we should not seek to hero worship them.
Comments
  • The Socialist Party does not believe that contentious issues such as flags or parades can be resolved through state repression, capitalist state bodies or deals between sectarian parties. Only working-class communities coming together around their common interests and for socialist change can challenge sectarian division and lay the basis for genuinely democratic and lasting solutions.
  • Northern Ireland has a History that is very divisive. we need the commissions or groups to discuss when there is a need so that communities can come together again after and move ahead. Also these commissions should be creating and championing integration and not cultivating more hate and fear.
