Commonwealth Labour Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Commonwealth Labour Party was a minor political party in Northern Ireland. The party was founded in 1942 by Harry Midgley, former leader of the Northern Ireland Labour Party (NILP), in order to pursue his brand of labour unionism. No longer in opposition to the Ulster Unionist Party which dominated the legislature, Midgley was able to take ministerial posts. The party stood six candidates in the 1945 Northern Ireland general election, but only Midgely was successful. He also stood in Belfast South in the 1945 UK general election, but was defeated by the Ulster Unionist. In 1947, Midgley disbanded the party and joined the Ulster Unionists.

The party should not be confused with the Common Wealth Party.
