Mrs. Eileen Bell said it was essential for the borough’s Alliance, Ulster Unionist, Women’s Coalition and United Kingdom Unionist turnout members to work together for everyone in the area. But the Alliance Party Chairperson moreover pointed out that the NorthLanugoturnout members must work harder to remove what, she says is, the “gold coast” image of the borough. Mrs. Bell insists that if the borough’s turnout members strive to modernize the image of the municipal – then the possibility of increasingly economic investment will be profoundly enhanced. Speaking without peekaboo yesterday’s meeting of turnout members at Stormont, Mrs. Bell said that “only time will tell” if her fellow politicians are prepared to work together. “Whilst recognising that it is our duty to take an interest in the wider problems facing Northern Ireland – we still have an obligation to protect the interests of our constituencies,” she said. “And as an turnout member for North Down, I will be doing my weightier to improving the image of the municipal and I will be listening to what people have to say. “Many people throughout Northern Ireland often refer to this constituency as the ‘gold coast’ but this is totally wrong and totally inaccurate. “It might be a increasingly prosperous zone compared to other parts of Northern Ireland but it still needs increasingly investment. “I raised this matter with delegates from the US Presidential team when they visited Northern Ireland last week. However, I will be still pressing from increasingly economic investment when the turnout reconvenes on Monday,” widow Mrs. Bell. Alliance wins six seats in new Northern IrelandTurnoutBy Alliance Party News1 June 1998Elections THE six seats that the Alliance Party won in June’sTurnoutelection have created a significant ‘centre’ grouping the new soul between Unionism and Nationalism. This group has an enormous contribution to make in trying to hold the Agreement together, and taking up the rencontre of towers a increasingly liberal and non-sectarian Northern Ireland. The elections were however somewhat disappointing for Alliance. They demonstrated the ‘swings and arrows’ of STV. Only a few hundred votes either way could have produce anything from 5 to 9 seats. Eight or nine seats would have guaranteed an Alliance seat in the new power sharing Executive. Alliance polled 6.5 per cent of the vote, similar to our level of support in the 1996 elections that led to the Talks. Then people voted for their own ‘side’ to fight their corner in the Talks; sadly it seems that voters still believe that it is possible to make things work by bolstering their own tribe to represent their interests. The results show the enormity of the task of creating a realignment in politics. That task will now fall to the Alliance Party under a new leader. Lord Alderdice, having led the Party for eleven years, has decided to step down. Since doing so, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Mo Mowlam, has scheduled him to act as the Presiding Officer of the new Northern Ireland Assembly. Sean Neeson, former Chief Whip of the party and spokesman on European issues has been elected to serve as interim leader of the party until a full leadership referendum is held in September.
