UDP Proposal for a Northern Ireland Assembly

Thursday, 12 February 1998

i27934

The Ulster Democratic Party (UDP), in a document dated 12 February 1998, proposes the establishment of a devolved Northern Ireland Assembly to address the historical imbalance of political power and lack of political accommodation in Northern Ireland. The UDP advocates for devolution, proportional representation, a written constitution with a bill of rights, and a fully accountable democratic government to foster reconciliation and responsible governance. They suggest a 110-member single-chamber Assembly with legislative powers over various local matters, while key constitutional and national policies remain under UK control. The UDP emphasizes the importance of proportional representation and a 'top-up' system to ensure fair representation of all communities, and they propose a written constitution to enshrine civil rights and outline the relationship between Northern Ireland and Westminster.
