Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP). The SDLP has been the most effective institution representing the catholic minority in Northern Ireland since the province's establishment. It was formed in 1971 as a coalition between the old Nationalist Party members, republican socialists, and civil rights campaigners. It was initially led by Gerry Fitt, representative of Belfast's Labour tradition. It joined the power‐sharing executive of 1973–4 and suffered from its rapid collapse. In 1979 John Hume was elected leader and developed effective contact with politicians in Dublin, Brussels, and the USA. Its electoral dominance among the catholic community has been challenged by
Sinn Fein. Hume's international prominence tends to eclipse his party, whose future will depend on the success or failure of the peace initiative.
