SDLP leader Colum Eastwood announces the party has voted by more than two to one to back a new partnership with Ireland's main opposition party Fianna Fail “I don’t think there’s any kind of new Ireland to be had by not having institutions in the north,” says Eastwood. “We have something to offer from our own party’s experience in government in the Republic, to hopefully be able to positively influence the SDLP and politics in Northern Ireland.” He bemoans how politics north of the border has “ground to a halt” over the past two years at the hands of Sinn Féin and the DUP. We’re working with the SDLP to provide a political outlet and movement which would help address that.” Many will see this new move as a direct response not only to Sinn Féin’s dominance of nationalism in Northern Ireland, but to their rightful claim to be the only all-Ireland political party. Sinn Féin’s initial response to this new partnership was initially one of mockery, with the party tweeting an Inbetweeners meme mocking leaders Colum Eastwood and Micheál Martin as “friends”.
