Progressive Youth recognise the importance of unity within their own party and calls on other political youth associations to have more courage and imagination to create a more pluralist and equitable society.
After an intensive weekend, debating the Agreement, which came as a result of the historical multi-party negotiations, the Progressive Youth fully supports the position taken by the leadership of the Progressive Unionist Party.
The Progressive Youth acknowledge the time, energy and committment given by our Stormont Talks Delegates and their support staff. We feel this is a fair and just agreement which provides everyone in Northern Ireland with an opportunity of a new start which will bring accountable democracy to the people.
By supporting the Agreement, the bigotry and the sectarian politics which have blighted our society for too many years, will be confined to the history books.
This offers young people an excellent chance to move forward and show yesterday`s men that new and more progressive politics can fulfil our communities needs and desires.
Progressive Youth - young people working today for a better tomorrow.
