Variable Democracy Cieran PerryAs the "Free World" never tires of telling us, aren't we lucky to live in a democracy. With the onset of this unjustifiable war against Iraq it appears that we are even luckier than we realised because the democracy we live in is a variable democracy. As the vast amount of citizens of our country are against this war (along with the people of most European countries) and against the use of our supposedly neutral countries' airports to attack Iraq it could be argued that there is a popular mandate against any participation, regardless of how small, in this war.

Peace process negotiations far from overDespite significant progress in the last few weeks of negotiations, Sinn Féin has insisted that there is still no closure on key issues, including demilitarisation, policing and criminal justice reform. The party has also insisted that the existing proposal for sanctions against any party deemed in breach of its commitment to exclusively peaceful means remains a potential deal-breaker.
