  Social Democratic and Labour Party - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
It was formed by former members of the Republican Labour Party - a fragment of the Irish Labour Party, the National Democrats, a small social democratic nationalist party, individual nationalists and members of the Northern Ireland Labour Party.
The SDLP initially rejected the Nationalist Party's policy of abstensionism and sought to fight for civil rights within the Stormont system.
As such the SDLP was an expression of a grudging acceptance by Catholics in the Northern state, as seen in the demands of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association over the previous decade.

Popular participation in the elections has shown a trend to constant decline, which makes the ANC voted into power by an actual minority of eligible voters.
While various views (Friedman, 2004; Sachs, 2004) refuse to see in this development a sign of explicit disaffection towards the policies of the ANC government, a remarkable coincidence is nonetheless noticeable between areas of electoral abstensionism and apathy on one hand, and low-income, marginalized communities on the other.
A cursory analysis of electoral registration and participation data reveals that a decline in voter turnout from 89 to 77 percent between the1999 and 2004 elections mirrors a decrease in the percentage of eligible voters who registered (75% in 2004).

 Medicina e Morale: 1999, 4 - Conti99-4
The Authors, by reference to a survey of oncologic patients in advanced state as inpatients and deceased in the "Domus Salutis" Hospice in Brescia (Italy) during the three years 1994-96, address the theme of therapeutic obstinacy in the terminally il.
Considering the ethical and deontological aspcts of therapeutic obstinacy, this is distinct from so called "continuous therapeutics" and in opposition to "abstensionism therapeutics".
The aim of this project is to widen the cultural awareness in the face of such problems and the realisation in linical practice, taking into account that the subject survey concerns one of only three existing hospices in Italy.

 Riviste - Guido Legnante, Paolo Segatti, L'astensionista intermittente, ovvero quando decidere di votare o meno è ...
Survey analysis and aggregate data show that the novelty of electoral abstensionism in Italy in the last decade, more than on the increase of the overall abstensionism rates, rests on the clear increase in the amount of of floating voters who swing to and from voting and nonvoting.
The article analyses several factors that might be at the basis of the phenomenon: political-institutional, social, psychological, party mobilisation.
One can argue that “floating abstensionism” is not peculiar to any part of the political spectrum.

 Newshound: Links to daily newspaper articles about Northern Ireland
This approach to politics, when applied back to the Labour and republican movements by party activists who had, in their small ways, won quiet victories while their party stood firm on shrinking ground, would have profound implications on the expectations of those people when power was sighted.
The grand plans were dropped one by one, a Clause Four here, abstensionism from the Dail there.

And in August 1970 Fitt became the first leader of a coalition of civil rights and nationalist leaders who created the Social Democratic and Labour Party.
The party was founded on high hopes - rejecting abstensionism and containing a number of prominent protestants and without the stigma of conservatism and impotency that surrounded the old nationalist party.
But already by then Northern Ireland was charging headlong towards near-civil war and the majority of unionists remained hostile.

And so it is that, as we have seen, the political parties seemed not to foresee the importance of carrying out a good administration as a prerequisite for winning votes in future elections.
If the slogan "we are going to do this" of the campaign propaganda had become "look, we have done it", the shadow of abstensionism, the lack of confidence and an air of lack of credibility would probably not hang over the politicians and all they do as it does today.
During 1998 four dynamics clearly marked economic behavior: the privatizations, the tax proposal presented by the Mayor’s Office of the Municipality of San Salvador, the obligatory increase in legal bank reserve deposits and the disaster provoked by the tropical hurricane "Mitch".
