A History of the Northern Ireland Labour Party

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the unique political landscape of Northern Ireland, this definitive history explores the Northern Ireland Labour Party (NILP), which bridged divides between Protestants and Catholics from its formation in 1924 to disbandment in 1987. The NILP achieved notable electoral success, securing seats in the local parliament and significant votes in British general elections. Despite its achievements, historians have often overlooked its importance, largely due to a lack of empirical evidence and a prevailing narrative of sectarian conflict in the region.
