SDLP Election 2011 Manifesto

The SDLP will unite people and build prosperity.

We will create a North which is attractive to business, takes care of the sick, respects older citizens and is a great place to work and raise a family.

We will do this by:

Creating 16,000 jobs through support for Green New Deal initiatives, our agri-food and ICT industries, tourism and a lower rate of corporation tax.

Investing in our young people, our schools, teachers, apprentices and universities.

Delivering better government by driving radical public sector reform and overcoming Executive stalemates.

Transforming society by ending segregation in housing and education, protecting frontline health services and supporting vulnerable people.

Leading the New Politics through partnership, reducing the number of politicians, cutting government departments and shrinking bureaucracy.

Bringing about a new phase of North-South initiatives, joining up services on the island to improve delivery, save costs and increase cooperation.

Celebrating our shared Northern, Irish and European identity, and through agreement, uniting people in a new Ireland.
