Motion TitleStrategic Framework for a Shared Future - Amendment 1

Motion Amendment TextLeave out all after first ‘shared future;’, and insert: ‘further recognises that people here have more in common than divides them whether they come from a unionist or nationalist community background, or whether they are a migrant, refugee, or someone who does not fall into any of these categories; expresses concern that division is often used in political discourse and decisions to further boost electoral prospects; notes that the austerity agenda and the tightening of public services has led to an increase in sectarian and racist rhetoric and language, with people blaming other communities for negative economic decisions made by the UK government and the Executive; calls on the First and deputy First Minister to commit to an economic programme that tackles wealth inequality to both improve people’s living standards whilst also undercutting the basis for sectarian arguments and ideologies.’
