Isnt it weird how it sounds more 'natural' to use the prefix 'an' as in 'an SDLP candidate' ? Yet the prefix 'a' ,as in 'a SDLP manifesto' appears to be the correct one . How very curious.

They should just merge with the shinners now that they have the same policies and partitionist objectives.
Because otherwise catholics/nationalists would be thrown into the the buttoned-up,brook- no -dissent, stay-on-message arms of SF. That's why.Originally Posted by ArtyQueing

They still attracted a decent percentage of those who voted during the EU elections. Thus they do continue to have a role.
And that role, same as the shinners, is to act as land agents for their British paymasters.
They remind me of FG - a totally bland pro estaiblishment party with nothing to offer as an alternative to what were saddled with ATM
Its tribal northern Ireland , , , , Who else would middle class nationalists vote for ?

As they were proved right about every single issue on which they opposed the republican movement maybe they should stick around to do Sinn Fein's thinking for them.
As Mark Durkan put it Sinn Fein became like an SDLP tribute band adopting their policies one after the other. Stormont, violence, policing even the very definition of the problem count as things that the SDLP were right about and Sinn Fein had to move on to their ground.
They are the brain of northern nationalism.
