The Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) submission on constitutional issues affecting Strand One and Strand Two, dated 20 October 1997, emphasizes the objective of the multi-party talks to achieve a settlement that garners the consent of all people in Ireland, addressing the historical and ongoing issues of instability and conflict. The document outlines the nationalist perspective, highlighting the historical exclusion and disenfranchisement of nationalists since the partition of Ireland, and the need for political structures that reflect both nationalist and unionist identities. The SDLP argues that the Government of Ireland Act and subsequent partition were unjust and imposed without the consent of the Irish people, leading to long-term political and social disadvantages for nationalists. The submission underscores the necessity of creating political arrangements that accommodate both traditions, ensuring parity of esteem and meaningful interaction with the rest of the Irish nation, while recognizing the principle of consent for any constitutional changes.
