		Falls: Won by Nationalist in 1929, 1933, and 1938; on his death in 1942 the by-election was won by a Republican; Harry Diamond won the seat as a Socialist Republican in 1945 and held it for the rest of this period, changing his designation to Republican Labour in 1953.
		The last election ever held to the Northern Ireland House of Commons took place for the Belfast St Anne's seat in November 1970 after the death of an anti-reform official Unionist, and resulted in the victory of his son, who is now a UUP life peer.

		Very quietly, the CNT leadership tacitly abandoned the position it had held since 1911, that elections were a fraud and that "workers and peasants should seize the factories and the land to produce for all.
