A chara, - It was with a wry smile that I read SDLP Councillor Tim Attwood's self-indulgent musings (January 3rd) suggesting that Sinn Féin constantly follows his own party's leads on all matters.
A quick glance at the last Westminster elections in 2005 shows that Sinn Féin gained 24.3 per cent of the vote compared with the SDLP's 17.5 per cent.
I think we can all see who is leading and who is following. - Is mise,
