	Neville Chamberlain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Embittered by his failure, Chamberlain decided to stand in the next general election, when he was successfully elected for the first time at the age of 49–by far the oldest age for any future Prime Minister entering Parliament to date.
		In the 1929 general election, Chamberlain changed his constituency from Ladywood to Edgbaston and held it easily, but the Conservative Party lost the election and entered a period of internal conflict.
		Had peace continued and a general election been fought in 1939 or 1940, it seems likely that the government would have sought to radically extend the provision of pensions and health insurance while introducing family allowances.

		Sinn Féin currently has five TDss in Dáil Éireann in the Republic, as well as four MPs in the British House of Commons, though the latter refuse to take their seats because to do so would mean swearing an oath of allegiance to the British monarch, and recognising British jurisdiction over Northern Ireland.
		In European Parliament elections held on June 10-11, 2004, Sinn Féin candidates Mary Lou McDonald and Bairbre de Brún were elected as MEP's for Dublin and Northern Ireland, respectively; they are in the grouping European United Left - Nordic Green Left in the European Parliament.
		Some critics of Sinn Féin allege that the DUP's electoral success, and its resulting threat to the Agreement, was contributed to by the failure of the IRA to decommission its weapons, a decision that seriously undermined the ability of the pro-Agreement David Trimble to win majority unionist community support.
