Anti-Partition of Ireland League

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The Anti-Partition of Ireland League was a political organisation based in Northern Ireland. Founded in 1945, it campaigned for a united Ireland and gained the support of the Government of the Republic of Ireland.

The group stood candidates in the 1950 and 1951 UK general elections without success, although they did gain two Northern Ireland MPs in the 1953 Stormont election. They declined with the passing of the Ireland Act in 1949, in which the British government recognised the Republic of Ireland but required that Ireland could only be united if Stormont MPs voted in favour.

The act also created some stir in the Republic of Ireland, as its Northern Ireland provisions gave that region a status which it previously did not have. The Irish parliament, Dáil Éireann, called for a Protest Against Partition as a result. This was the last public protest against partition by Dáil Éireann. See also the Nationalist Party.
