Alliance Launches Assembly Election Manifesto

Alliance has launched its Assembly election manifesto which outlines the vision for all of the people of Northern Ireland.

The event took place at the Park Avenue Hotel in east Belfast on Tuesday, 21 February.

Party leader Naomi Long said the manifesto showcased the need to change things to make politics in NI work better.

She said: "This manifesto highlights Alliance's desire for good Government, good relations, good prospects, good services and good leadership, steps which we believe need to happen to help move Northern Ireland forward.

"There is evidence of a change in mood for many people. The public are sick and tired of corruption, cronyism and incompetence, and want the reforms necessary to create a health service that delivers, an education service that works and an economy that benefits everyone.

"But a vote for Alliance is not simply a protest vote. As this manifesto shows, instead it is a vote for a party offering something positive, with a proven track record of leadership. For a party who has shown competence for Government, diligence in opposition and with a vision for all in Northern Ireland, not just some. "
