Yes to powersharing, equality and human rights!

It may be a measure of the successful modernisation of Unionism that a so-called hardliner like Bob McCartney can argue in today’s Belfast Telegraph:

Everyone accepts the requirement for cross-community power sharing. Equality together with civil and human rights is not an issue. But a party which, after seven years, is still completely immersed in political and social terror and widespread criminality, has no place now or in the future in Archbishop Brady’s “Modern Democracy”.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
