	Home rule (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Home rule refers to a demand in parts of the United Kingdom that the constituent nations (notably Scotland, Wales and Ireland) be given self-government within the United Kingdom.
		Home rule also refers analogously to the process and mechanisms of self-government by municipalities in many countries with respect to their immediately superior level of government (e.g., U.S. states, in which context see special legislation).
		The issue of Irish home rule was the dominant political question of British politics at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.

	Paper 1
		Home rule was a huge part of the political life in Ireland, which meant that the Irish Parliament would be restored for most issues, but the British government would still cover many important areas (Conflict 3).
		Home Rule was known as the "transferring vagueness" which enabled the most extreme nationalists, as well as the most moderate, to invest the term with their own meaning.
		The most significant weakness of the Home Rule schemes was the failure to cater for the specific interests of Protestant north-east Ulster; and it was from that quarter that the most strenuous opposition to Home Rule came in the pre-war period (Ireland 34).

	Continuity and Change: Ulster 1798-1998
		Partially as a demonstration of the fitness of Irish nationalism to play a responsible contributary role in the wider Empire, Redmond's gamble partially depended on building up British goodwill, and cost him the loss of some 10,000-12,000 Volunteers, who disagreed with his stand.
		The Home Rule Party's credibility was further undermined by the fact that movement on Home Rule by the British government came only in response to the Rising - hardly a vote of confidence in constitutional methods.
		Home Rule Party successes were confined largely to Ulster, where an electoral pact had been brokered by the cathoic church to ensure that a split catholic vote in some constituencies would not allow the return of a unionist.

		Home Rule effectively started in Ireland in 1870 but in British politics, Gladstone was converted to it in the 1880's.

		The Home Rule Party were merely the ambassadors at a Foreign Court - ambassadors who remained powerless until the popular armies in Ireland had struck down Landlordism in spite of evictions, battering rams, imprisonment and death.
		Home Rule, pitiful abortion as it is, is hung up, and side by side with the law suspending it is framed the declaration of the English Prime Minister that it would in his opinion be unthinkable to force Home Rule upon Orange Ulster.

		The parties had betrayed the spirit of last year's referendum on Scottish devolution - when they campaigned together for a "yes" vote - by returning to the politics of confrontation.

		Three Home Rule Bills were defeated in the space of ten years; instead the Prevention of Crimes Act (temporarily) abolished trial by jury and increased police powers.
		The transparent honesty of Parnell's denials of complicity in the murders for a while served to boost his career, but public opinion finally swung against him in 1890, when he was cited in the divorce case of his colleague Captain O'Shea.
		The attitude of many Irish Protestants to the agitation for Home Rule was summed up by the equation "Home Rule = Rome Rule"; such a threat was enough to unite the Anglican (broadly speaking, conservative gentry) and Presbyterian (liberal tradesmen) communities.
