SDLP

The Social Democratic and Labour Party was founded in 1970 as an anti-sectarian political movement with the aim of reconciling the people of the island in a united, just and prosperous new Ireland. Today, the SDLP has one of the youngest, most energetic and most effective front bench teams of any party on these islands. Working at Westminster, the Northern Ireland Assembly and in every council across the North, SDLP representatives are dedicated to creating a new, fairer, more equal Ireland. The SDLP’s ambition is a society free from division where people work together to wage war on poverty and want, where they deliver economic justice, tackle the climate crisis and bring the people of the island closer together in a new bond of common endeavour. 

The SDLP's central mission - to build a better future that brings everyone in our society together in a new, fairer and inclusive Ireland.
