Overview: New Northern Ireland Assembly and Executive 31/05/16 STATE OF THE PARTIES 1. To a large extent, the 2016 Assembly election was a case of ‘as you were’. The DUP and Sinn Féin were returned as the two largest parties, and further cemented their positions as the dominant players within unionism and nationalism respectively. The UUP and Alliance Party didn’t live up to pre-election expectations – failing to increase the number of seats they won in 2011 – while the SDLP had a disappointing cycle and lost two seats (Deputy Leader Fearghal McKinney and senior party figure Dolores Kelly).

The Private Secretaries and Special Advisers to the Ministers have yet to be confirmed. 4.

The Alliance Party, while not automatically entitled to an Executive portfolio after only returning 8 MLAs in the Assembly election, were originally offered the Justice Department. The party declined the offer when a list of policy demands it attached to its decision weren’t met by the DUP and Sinn Féin. 7 ASSEMBLY COMMITTEES 6.

    o19 25th June 2021 THIS WEEK’S HEADLINES Worldwide cases of COVID-19 are at 179,960,300 with deaths totalling 3,899,016 globally as of 23rd June according to Worldometer. So far, 164,727,197 people have recovered from the virus. Sir Jeffery Donaldson has been confirmed as the new leader of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) after recently elected Edwin Poots resigned last week. Paul Givan’s position, as the newly elected First Minister of Northern Ireland, is seen to be at risk as many party officers call for his resignation. A new tool, designed to help young people remove compromised images of themselves from online platforms, has been launched by the Internet Watch Foundation in partnership with Childline. The ‘Report, Remove’ tool is for any under 18s to use and requests are actioned within two hours for a UK site and within one day for international sites. For further information, advice and guidance please click here. Some UK phones randomly gave off a short loud alarm on Tuesday 22nd June as the UK tested its emergency alert system. Between 1-2pm on Tuesday some Google Android users reported their phones setting off a noise with a brief message flashing up saying: ‘This is a mobile network operator test of the Emergency Alerts Service. You do not need to take any action. To find out more, search for gov.uk/alerts.’ The UK Government advised the emergency alert system will be used for sending alerts relating to life endangerment. A further test will be carried out on 29th June 2021.

  • LGBTQ Election 2015 Update1

    LGBTQ Election 2015 Update1

    LGBTQ EQUALITY & Northern Ireland’s Political Parties An independent survey General Election 2015 UPDATED VERSION (1) In April 2015 I emailed all the political parties in Northern Ireland that have candidates standing the the 2015 General Election. I enclosed a list of questions about their policies and active records on important lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans* and queer issues. The following pages contain the original information and questions sent to the parties, along with their replies and some additonal facts about each party’s record on LGBTQ rights. All replies are printed exactly as received, except where editied (with due respect and care for key facts) to keep them roughly around the requested 150 word limit. Parties are listed in the order their answers were returned. Where parties have not responded, I have researched their available policies, manifestos and records online and compiled some information. While most of us who identfy as LGBT or Q are unlikely to vote based on a party’s LGBTQ policies alone, it does help to know what each party thinks of some of the issues that effect our lives. And, more importantly, what they have already done and what they plan to do to tackle some of the serious problems caused by homophobia and transphobia; invisibility; institutionalised discrimination and exclusion. I hope that it will be updated and added to over time. This is an independent survey. It has no agenda other than to give each party an opportunity put on paper what they intend to do to help us build a more equal Northern Ireland in terms of sexual orientation and gender identity.
