“Alliance is working to build a united community in Northern Ireland.

The Agreement is not the ceiling of our ambition, but the foundation
on which we can build a shared society.
“Alliance is working for an open, free and fair society. Only Alliance
rejects the notion that we must all be boxed into ‘two communities’.
“Alliance is working to give everyone something better than
tribal politics – a genuinely shared future.”

 ALLIANCE WORKS for

East Antrim
Alliance members have established a high reputation for their work both in
the Assembly and in their constituencies. Locally, Stewart Dickson and
seven other Alliance Party Councillors in Newtownabbey, Carrickfergus and
Larne have supported Sean Neeson in delivering constituency services to
the people of East Antrim.
Alliance supports the power-sharing Assembly, but is opposed to the petty
sectarianism of traditional politicians, which has damaged the opportunity to
make real changes in Northern Ireland.
You can no longer depend on the other parties to make the power-sharing
Assembly work for everyone. Alliance has shown that it can make a real
difference. We will continue to work to build a united community.
