Clear agreement made
between parties, stable
peace, social
issues addressed, confusion
between religion and
politics totally
removed.
If the
majority of people in Northern Ireland vote to stay
with Britian, then SF etc should
accept this. When the minority becomes
the majority and people
vote to join Eire, then the unionists should
equally accept the feelings of the majority.
A referendum should be
called so the people of Ireland can
decide what
they want and not let
guns and arms divide. How many

a lasting peace
through which our generation and
generations after us will be
able to live in harmony.

soon.

the UK.

politicians - bleak. If 90%
or more of the electorate
vote on upcoming issues then maybe
not so bad.

and we could live in peace.
Peace no war
Resumption to peace and
reconciliation.
Peace.
Peace.
That we get rid of all the useless
politician and annoying bigots who
piss me off.
The political parties are absolutely
useless in representing the
electorate for socially
oriented problems. They focus/are obsessed with
one issue and are always bogged
down with petty details. They refuse
to give any ground and there
fore will never reach a
compromise.
That we may all be open
to change and the potential
of something 'different' whether that involves
compromise
or not.

together. Respecting each
others cultures and using them to our advantage by
learning from each other.

the United Kingdom where
everyone can respect each
others identity.

members in society, all communities, all able-bodied
and
disabled etc. To accept people as
they are.

together and get things
sorted out.
It can't get any worse can it'?
I feel
sorry for all those who have lost
relatives and friends during the troubes but I
personally don't
feel affected living
in bangor, I feel I am more distant
to these issues.
That the politicians wise
up and catch
themselves on. And pray that Mr Major grows
a backbone.
Peace. British and Irish governments to
stop being such stubborn headstrong
bastards, and think about the people and quit
power
seeking, neither gov wants to back
down so we're stuck in the
middle.
To create a society where people
can trust each other and
have tolerance
for different views. That has
to be worked at by all people. It
needs to be
taught in schools. It's too late
when you get older; all the
prejudices are in
place.
