 | | In the 2004 European elections Hume stood down and the SDLP failed to retain the seat he had held since 1979, losing to Sinn Féin. | | | In 1998, it became the biggest party overall in terms of votes received, the first (as so far, only) time this had been achieved by a nationalist party. | | | Whilst anxious to achieve devolved government in Northern Ireland (which the British Government had prorogued in 1972), the SDLP were also insistent on what was then known as the Irish dimension - in other words a defined constitutional role for the Republic in northern affairs. |

| | The party's drift to the right lost it nearly all its working-class voters, and its ageing membership (average age 65) and vote (third party among the under 45s) mean that avoiding extinction became a higher priority than winning an election. | | | As mentioned earlier, the UK is a unitary state and a democratic constitutional monarchy. | | | The party that wins the majority of seats in Parliament following a general election forms a government vigorously but loyally opposed "on the issues" by the minority party. |
