	Irish general election, 1922 - Definition, explanation
		The Irish general election of 1922 took place in Southern Ireland on June 16, 1922, under the provisions of the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty to elect a constituent assembly paving the way for the establishment of the Irish Free State.
		For Irish Republicans this chose the membership of the Third Dáil of the Irish Republic; under the provisions of the treaty it was a provisional parliament replacing the parliament of Southern Ireland.
		As in the Irish elections, 1921 in the south, Sinn Féin stood one candidate for every seat, except those for the University of Dublin and one other; the treaty had divided the party between 65 pro-treaty candidates, 57 anti-treaty and 1 nominally on both sides.

	Politics \| Small parties vital to Irish poll

		The almost certain winner is Fianna Fail, the republic's largest party and the one that has provided the Irish state with its rulers for most of the period since the country was formed.
		The Greens - with three seats - have not thrived since the last general election and will be lucky to keep them all, although the presence in parliament is a sign that the electoral system achieves its aim of reflecting all strands of opinion in parliament.

	Irish (UK) general election, 1918 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Irish general election of 1918 was that part of the 1918 United Kingdom general election that took place in Ireland.
		Indeed the 1918 general election has become a potent symbol for militant republicans who have argued that the elections conferred legitimacy both on the anti-Treaty faction in the Irish Civil War of 1922–1923 and on the violent campaigns of later groups such as the Provisional IRA that erupted many decades later.
		Although the 1918 general election was the last held throughout the whole of Ireland on a single day, in every election held since 1921 candidates advocating violent resistance to the partition of Ireland have fallen far short of winning a majority in either part of Ireland.

	Republic of Ireland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Though Irish unionism existed throughout the whole of Ireland, the late nineteenth and early twentieth century unionism was particularly strong in parts of Ulster, where industrialisation was more common in contrast to the more agrarian rest of the island.
		The new Irish Free State was in theory to cover the entire island, subject to the proviso that Northern Ireland (which had been created as a separate entity under the Government of Ireland Act 1920) could opt out and choose to remain part of the United Kingdom, which it duly did, to no-one's surprise.
		Irish governments have sought the peaceful reunification of Ireland and have usually cooperated with the British government in their violent conflict with the Provisional IRA in Northern Ireland known as the "Troubles".

		The real surprise of these elections was the advent of Sinn Fein, Ireland's Catholic Republican party, political wing of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) that succeeded in making a magnificent breakthrough with 7% of the vote.
		Sinn Fein (which means «ourselves» in Gaelic) is the only political movement represented in the General Election of both States of the European Union, ie the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
		By filling the vacuum on the Left in the wake of Labour's repositioning towards the centre, the Northern Irish Catholic Republican movement was the only party to tell a different story during the campaign.

		The folk memories of the Irish are, or ought to be, filled with a thousand and one reasons why America ought to think twice before embracing the notion of empire.
