That is absolutely the case. If the Alliance Member's contribution has done nothing else, it has shown us that her party has no traction, no influence and no interest in loyalist working-class communities, and perhaps working-class communities as a whole, because, when working-class communities are affected, what does it do? It sends them to the DUP or the UUP. "Send them on up the road. That has nothing to do with us. Those are not our communities, so we will not bother. We do not have traction or influence there. We do not have people we can speak to there. We do not do the work there. We do not build the connections there. We just want to dictate to those communities".
Where?
SDLP.
