	Democratic Left (Ireland) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Democratic Left was a socialist political party active in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland between 1992 and 1999.
		Democratic Left was formed after a split in the Workers Party, which in turn had its origins in the 1970 split between Official Sinn Féin and Provisional Sinn Féin.
		A large proportion of the Workers Party left the party in 1992 after their attempt to amend its constitution (to break all links with the Official IRA and modernise the party's Leninist structures) fell just short of the required two-thirds majority at a special congress.

	ETHNIC CONFLICT AND THE TWO-STATE SOLUTION :: John Coakley
		The political partition of Ireland was one of the more traumatic aspects of the manner in which the island's relationship with Great Britain was restructured at the beginning of the twentieth century, and a defining movement in the relationship between the two islands.
		Instead, it proposed to allocate two predominantly nationalist counties to Northern Ireland, with a view to increasing the territory and population of that state to the maximum level that could comfortably be controlled by the unionist majority (the settlement thus left an overall Catholic minority of 34.4% within Northern Ireland).
		Furthermore, the government of the Republic of Ireland appeared to be moving towards acceptance of partition in the long term; this was implicit in the first-ever visit of the southern prime minister (taoiseach), Sean Lemass, to meet his Northern Ireland counterpart in 1965.

		The British Government insisted that Sinn Fein could not be included in all-party talks on the future of Northern Ireland until the IRA had demonstrated its commitment to the democratic process by beginning to decommission its large cache of arms.
		With the approach of the one-year anniversary of the IRA cease- fire, there was hope that the impasse could be broken by the establishment of an international commission to study the problem, although by mid-November, such a body had yet to be set up.

		Generally welcomed by nationalists, it was rejected by unionists, who disparaged it as a "blueprint for a united Ireland." Despite the negative unionist reaction, the two governments tried to launch the negotiating process by announcing they would hold a series of bilaterals with all the constitutional parties in the north.

	A Unified Left? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		It was hoped by some that the merger last January between the Labour Party and Democratic Left would create the dynamic in which a unified "left", represented by the new Labour Party, would see rapid gains.
		The WP was far stronger in the Republic than in Northern Ireland (where most of its potential supporters favored continuing the fight against British rule) and it made rapid strides starting in 1982, when it won three seats to the Dail (the Irish Parliament).
		There was also the hope that the peace agreement in Northern Ireland would end the Civil War politics of the Republic (see my previous article on politics in the Republic for more on that) and realign politics on a left-right scale, and a "unified left" would be well positioned to take advantage of it.

		One may be inclined to attribute the failure of the left to the stigma associated with years of supposedly leftist rule.

		Those 49 years, however, were an intense political period in which the overwhelming majority of the Irish people continued to express their desire for independence and sought to do so via democratic means; but legislation for Home Rule was defeated in the British parliament in 1886 and again 1893.
		During the next 30 years, the IRA were a small and ill-armed unit of men and women, dedicated to the ideal of a 32-county Ireland and the removal of British presence in the north of Ireland; but since the border campaign of the late 50s and early 60s, the IRA existed in name only.
		Their arms (what little they had to start with) were almost totally depleted (and at one stage it was considered more important to save the weapons rather than the volunteers, if the case arose).
