Ian Butler said: “Alliance is the best vehicle for change because it is the only party that makes ending division and tension in Northern Ireland its top priority. Alliance is a strong voice against tribalism and has played a very constructive role in safeguarding peace here, while other so-called moderate parties have played partisan games regarding the recent Hillsborough deal.
“I have a background in the Labour Party and ever since I got involved in politics I have believed that it is all about delivering real and positive change in people’s everyday lives. That’s what Alliance means in Northern Ireland – Working for everyone.
“If you believe in solutions and hard work instead of tribal dogma, Alliance is the only party for you.”
