07/11/2013 Party Political Broadcasts - Social Democratic and Labour Party

The SDLP have hope and ambition for Ireland,

hope and ambition for your family, hope and ambition for you.

That's why we're fighting for you in the Northern Ireland Assembly

and at local government right across Northern Ireland,

and hopefully, with your support, we will fight for you in Europe as well.

Let's rebuild our strength in Europe.

Let's get back into the heart of Europe.

With the SDLP, that is what will happen,

and the immense opportunities of European funding

will benefit the north of Ireland.

I am ambitious that our farmers and our rural community

have a strong pro-European SDLP voice in Europe.

We're also very determined within the SDLP councillor group

and the parliamentary group that we can provide a much better future

for our young people.

I'm ambitious for all our students,

but to put our pupils first, we must put our teachers first.

The SDLP had the ambition to make sure that Derry became

the City Of Culture for 2013.

We have the ambition to make sure that that promise is lived up to,

that we create the jobs and investment that our people

so badly need.

I'm ambitious for a health service that puts efficiency

and effectiveness, health and the patient at its core,

and that's why I'm in the SDLP.

The SDLP hope for a planning system that is fast,

fair and fit for purpose.

That is why I put a stop to the toxic Planning Bill.

The SDLP took the risks

and made the right decisions to deliver a human-rights-based

policing service, and it is our ambition that that policing service

remains open and accountable and transparent to all.

The SDLP wants to see young people filled with hope and ambition,

and we're going to play our part in delivering that better future.

I'm ambitious for the future.

That's why I'm an SDLP councillor and that's why I'm running again.

I'm excited for the future, I'm ambitious for my children

and that's why I'm SDLP.

The SDLP has never given up hope that Ireland can be a more peaceful,

better and prosperous place,

and neither have I.

It's time to further transform our politics

and the lives of our people.

The SDLP have the necessary hope

and ambition for Ireland to make it all happen.

SDLP. Hope and Ambition for Ireland.
