LETTER : Definitions of democracy in Northern Ireland
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr Michael Gordon
Sir: There is a great deal of talk about talks in the peace process, but no suggested agenda. The republicans want a united Ireland, but they know that this is not at present negotiable (since it would require a plebiscite) or achievable.
This set of "troubles", however, did not start over republicanism, but over the treatment of Catholics by the Protestant majority in Northern Ireland. This subject is negotiable. With this as an agenda, both sides should sit down without loss of face.
Yours truly,
Michael Gordon
