Friday, 10 October 1997

i27901

The Progressive Unionist Party (PUP) outlines a set of common principles aimed at fostering better understanding among participants and forming the foundation for future political institutions in Northern Ireland. These principles emphasize democratic values, broad acceptability, stability, and durability, ensuring that both main parts of the Northern Ireland community can identify with and feel represented by the institutions. The principles also stress the importance of adaptability to changing political realities, straightforwardness to avoid entrenching community divisions, and proportional representation for all constitutional political parties. Additionally, the principles advocate for effective and efficient functioning, innovation, defined relationships with UK and EC institutions, public endorsement, maximum delegation of authority, and robust parliamentary scrutiny and public accountability.
