Text
I thank the Member for giving way. Can the Member list one condition that his party extracted for the SDLP's participation in any Executive in the past 20 years? Does he recall the statements that he published when the Programme for Government was under consideration, which said, in effect, that the Alliance Party should just hurry up and agree whatever the DUP and Sinn Féin put in front of them?

- None of the five culture-war criteria was met (each was below 0.60).
- No identity-based framing was identified (0.98).
- The overall probability was low and the text did not adopt any identity-based framing.
