  • Non-Nationalist Politics in a Bi-National Consociation: the Case of the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland

    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.

Although this landmark legislation granted reproductive rights to women in Great Britain, it also marks 50 years of differential treatment for women in Northern Ireland. As you will know, on 14th June 2017, the Supreme Court narrowly decided to dismiss an appeal that challenged your Department’s policy not to fund abortion services in England for women who are normally resident in Northern Ireland. The court was divided 3-2 against the appeal; while expressing their sympathy for women in Northern Ireland, they stated that they are restrained by your argument that the decision is out of “respect”’ for the democratic decisions of the Northern Ireland Assembly. As MPs, peers and MLAs, we are dedicated to campaigning for a change to this unfair and discriminatory law. However, while our advocacy in this area continues, we would like to highlight the Court’s ruling which states that, as Secretary of State, you hold the legal authority to change your policy on funding abortion services in England for women normally resident in Northern Ireland. We urge you to use this authority and reduce the significant financial burden women travelling from Northern Ireland face. The situation for women normally resident in Northern Ireland The Supreme Court case was brought by a young woman, A, who in 2012 as a pregnant 15-year-old girl travelled with her mother, B, from their home in Northern Ireland to Manchester for an abortion at a cost of £900.

The Politics of Poverty Julia Buchanan (Barnardo’s) raised the issue of child poverty and said that children were often overlooked in the debate. She pointed to the importance of childcare and education as a means to end educational underachievement and close the attainment gap. Seamus Lynch (Age Sector Platform) agreed that child poverty was a problem that could lead to a very real stigma and lack of confidence but also called for a renewed focus on older people, 20 percent of whom live in poverty. He suggested that relatively easy solutions like automatic pension credit payments and discounts on energy bills would make a considerable difference. Kate McCauley (Housing Rights) talked about the correlation of housing and poverty. She said that affordability issues are increasing across all tenures but particularly so in the private rented sector which has seen a demographic change in those who live there. She referenced reports that identified that “by 2020 the expected gap between housing benefit and private sector rents will grow by 300 percent” which is clearly unsustainable. Kate said work to address financial exclusion and to ensure the voices of those impacted by poverty are heard in policy decisions was important in ensuring people could access and sustain housing. Andrew McCracken (Community Foundation NI) queried the current approach to poverty.
