04/03/2016 Party Political Broadcast: Alliance

When you see how long it takes for things to get done in Stormont,

does it make you angry?

The ridiculous pantomime of bickering and petty point-scoring

that brings Northern Ireland to a grinding halt.

The never-ending talks that prevent us moving forward.

Do you want to know something?

It makes us angry, too.

We're just as frustrated as you, and we understand your impatience.

You deserve better.

A better alternative to politicians

who have their finger pressed permanently on the pause button,

avoiding tough decisions because it suits their selfish agenda.

Or, worse still, those on permanent rewind,

continually replaying the same old arguments

and backward language of division.

That's why Alliance offers a sharper, smarter direction -

a dynamic approach designed to deliver faster results.

One that ensures important issues get debated and decided quickly.

No pausing, no slow-motion politics,

and definitely no rewinding.

It's a fast-forward plan -

an energetic ambition to refresh and invigorate Northern Ireland.

It will accelerate changes in health and education,

saving money and putting it back into front-line care and teaching.

It will drive the creation of thousands of new jobs

in hi-tech industries.

It will speed up the redistribution

of up to £1 billion of taxpayers' money,

currently squandered on needless bureaucracy,

over-administration and managing sectarian division.

It will transform policing priorities

away from managing street disorder and into more neighbourhood patrols.

And it will build on the achievements

Alliance has already delivered over the last five years.

Public safety has increased, while crime rates have decreased.

Skill levels are up, while unemployment is down.

Through investing in science and apprenticeships,

and reinvesting money seized from criminals into communities,

Alliance has made a real difference to the lives of everyone.

With your help...

With your help...

With your help...

Join Alliance, and let's go fast forward together.
