Following years of wrangling and a very public and damaging public shutdown over funding for one of Trumps controversial election promises - His Border wall - President Trump has threatened a new tactic. He has threatened to try to by almost by pass Congress by using one of his Presidential powers - to use Emergency powers - Whether this is even constitutional or not we will have to wait and see. Certainly the Wall is continuing to divide US politics.
Recent high profile talks to come to some form of North South political alliance with the SDLP and Fianna Fail in the Republic of Ireland, have brought with them considerable difficulty and threatened further cracks in an already fragile edifice of what has appeared to be a party in terminal decline. The links between the once mainstream and dominant voice of nationalism in the north - the SDLP and the Republic of Ireland's most successful political party have been ongoing for years rather than months. It has been given added impetus by the impending threat of Brexit.
However, despite being passed by a comfortable majority by its membership it has led to open and public divisions in the party with Claire Hanna, standing down from her role as Brexit spokesperson in protest at the move. Pay very close attention to this story as it will be a vital component to any essay or question on the SDLP or northern nationalism. Read the excellent CCEA e-Guide on the House of Lords and answer the questions above. This is full of the detail you need for A grade answers.
