SDLP proposes Stormont reforms to end political paralysis

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 4 Nov, 17:00 · Archive

The SDLP has unveiled proposals to reform Stormont and address political paralysis in Northern Ireland.

The SDLP has unveiled a blueprint for radical Stormont reforms designed to address what the party describes as political paralysis in Northern Ireland. The proposals form part of the party's vision for a 'New Ireland'. Among the reforms is a call to move the centre of government away from the Stormont building itself.

Executive parties have reacted negatively to the relocation proposal. One response characterised the situation as a need for reform rather than what one quoted source called 'a removals van', suggesting scepticism about relocating the assembly and government functions.
