| | Basu repents labour blunder - Militant unionism was a 'mistake' |
 | | In what must rank alongside his confession that passing up prime ministership in 1996 was a "historic blunder", Basu said the mistake was committed when the CPM was under Promode Dasgupta and continued during his tenure in office as chief minister. | | | Labour minister Mohammad Amin and a dozen Citu leaders were present when Basu spoke at the 59th state convention of the Bengal Chatkal Majdoor Union at Baranagar Circus Maidan. | | | Jyoti Basu today admitted having made a mistake by encouraging militant trade unionism for over 20 years from the tumultuous sixties. |

| | CAIN: 'Interpreting Unionism' by Norman Porter |
| | This sense is intimated in a recommendation of the Qpsahl Commission's report which conceived of parity of esteem 'between the two communities' entailing 'legal recognition of Irish nationalism' without denying the 'Britishness' of unionists. | | | These have the virtue of shifting the focus away from a politics of constitutional standoff by asking the probing question of why wider issues of democracy and justice in civil society should always play second fiddle to unionism's constitutional preoccupations. | | | What calls for conceptual articulation here are the various senses in which Protestantism and Britishness are regarded as constitutive of unionism proper. |

| | CAIN: Issues: Politics - 'Interpreting Unionism' by Norman Porter |
| | And there is no denying that this glance penetrates to a deeply troubling state of affairs if we assume the.likelihood of a worst-case scenario in which the current, or some future, government of the United Kingdom decides to accede to the wishes of certain nationalists and withdraw from Northern Ireland altogether. | | | With the exception of its last years in office, between 1969 and 1972, when weaknesses began to surface in the unionist leviathan, dissenters of a unionist persuasion proved little more than minor irritants who were confined either to the old Northern Ireland Labour Party or to the relative obscurity of some independent expression. | | | Possible fateful consequences of withdrawal have to be reckoned with seriously, as do constitutional procedures; and, besides, there is bipartisan support within parliament for a British governmental presence to remain in Northern Ireland so long as the majority of citizens there will it. |
