 What is Social Democratic and Labour Party   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
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.

Founder and first leader Gerry Fitt - ironically a former leader of the explicitly republican Republican Labour Party - would later claim that it was the party's decision to demand a Council of Ireland as part of the Sunningdale Agreement that signified the point at which the party adopted a clear nationalist agenda.

The Government of Ireland Act 1949 had placed the future of Northern Ireland in the hands of a majority in the Stormont Parliament, which suited the Unionist Party.
