think i'm just confused about the SDLP, did they want a united Ireland or just power sharing?
and i'm confused by the two terms "republicanism" (in the context of Ireland) and "nationalism".......what's the difference, again just in an Irish context?Last edited by KatieMorag; 05-11-2017, 03:06 PM.

Loyalist paramilitaries never had their own broad political movement in the sense that republicans had - we have to assume whatever party political allegiances they had (and have) went to the mainstream Unionist parties like the UUP and DUP.
I suppose we could make the generalisation that loyalism represents the more hardline or militant side of Unionism.

That can only be counted at the polling Stations....Keeping in mind that ''Pressure'' was used by both communities......
far as I remember the SDLP wanted support from all sides......They wanted the people to vote as they would want to vote....Not as they felt ''they had to vote''.....
Depends on who said they were what.....
David Irvine put it in a Nutshell.....''they go around shouting ''Brits out''....That means they want me out''.......Where on earth do I go to, this is my home.....Here Rex!!!...Here Rex!!!.....Wuff!!!....... Wuff!!!
