  • Non-Nationalist Politics in a Bi-National Consociation: the Case of the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland
    1 Non-nationalist politics in a bi-national consociation: the case of the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland David Mitchell Trinity College Dublin at Belfast Nationalism and Ethnic Politics, 24:3, 1-12. 2018 Through a case study of the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland, this article examines the contention that consociational power-sharing, in its determination to include dominant and conflicting identity groups, exalts these identities and excludes others including gender, class and other ethnicities and nationalities. The article describes and assesses the Alliance Party’s arguments that the power-sharing arrangements in Northern Ireland are philosophically objectionable, practically ineffective, and politically detrimental to parties which, like Alliance, are designated as ‘others’. The article finds that the party’s critique of consociationalism as implemented in Northern Ireland is overstated and that the party has been able to play a number of pivotal roles in the new politics. Northern Ireland’s Belfast/Good Friday Agreement is one of the most studied consociational settlements.1 The 1998 accord (hereafter ‘the Agreement’) appeared to enable the region’s transition out of decades of political violence and exclusion, making Northern Ireland, for many analysts, “the key confirming case for consociational theory”.2 However, the Agreement has also faced an array of academic, political and civil society detractors, many of whom have focussed on the specific criticism of consociational power-sharing which is the subject of this special section: that in its determination to include the dominant and conflicting national identity groups, consociationalism exalts these identities and excludes others, including gender, class and other ethnicities and nationalities.3 This article examines the ‘exclusion amid inclusion dilemma’ through the case study of the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland.

  • Stephen Farry MP Speech to Alliance Party Conference 7Th March, 2020
    Stephen Farry MP Speech to Alliance Party Conference 7th March, 2020 This is our 50th Anniversary Conference. And rightly, we will look back and reflect over the past half century with pride. At the same time, we come together at a time of unprecedented success and influence for Alliance. It is great to see many of the founding generation with us here today such as Briege Napier, Jim Hendron, Dennis Loreto and the Glendinnings. We will be marking the 50th Anniversary more formally at an event in April. Our founders would be delighted at the current success of Alliance, and it is of course built on the foundations they laid. Indeed, for a brief few weeks, at the end of January, we simultaneously had representation in Local Government, in the Assembly, in Parliament, and the European Parliament, plus a major role in government. So we meet on the back of our most successful electoral year...to date. Our success in the Local Government Elections exceeded our wildest expectations, with an incredible 53 councillors returned from an existing base in the low 30s. And still with a few more votes in the right places, we could have won even more seats. We are now players in Councils right across Northern Ireland. But as it turned out, the Council elections were just the warm-up act for the Alliance surge to take Naomi all the way to Brussels and Strasbourg with a Quite stunning result with impact well beyond our shores. And in the General Election, our vote went up right across the board, with some spectacular increases in many constituencies.
