Since it's establishment in 1970, the Social Democratic & Labour Party
(SDLP) have fought for peace, an agreed Ireland and equality of
opportunity for all of Northern Ireland's citizens.
The North Down Branch of the party
has existed for many years and have contested elections in the
constituency since 1973, with Patrick McHenry first standing as
the party's candidate on 28 June 1973 for the Falkner / Fitt "Sunningdale"
Assembly.
Following on from many years of
change and the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, the party
stands ready to contest the forthcoming Westminster and Local
Government Elections in 2005.
