 Irish Nationalism
One of the devastating results of the shutting out of the Irish Catholic majority from participation in political and economic life until the 19th century was that "Ireland came to occupy a different period of time to that occupied by England;" what Brian Cleeve refers to as the "time-warp factor" (16).
He believed in the Irish instinct for the center, that in their faith in their own experience and the fact of their survival, their culture had the power to reflect and recreate their continuity.
Such a process is the heart that circulates the life-blood of a culture and the dominant theme of nationalism that Irish literature explores and reflects in all its facets is proof of the culture's continuing vitality.

 The Irish Herald: Top Stories
Blair's decision to cancel elections was also attacked as irresponsible and undemocratic by the British Conservative Party, the US National Committee on American Foreign Policy, the Irish government, the SDLP, Sinn Féin, the Women's Coalition and all other Northern Ireland political parties, with the exception of David Trimble's Ulster Unionist Party.
Consequently, Sinn Féin presented a motion to the Irish Parliament, the Dáil, demanding that elections to the North's Assembly be held before the end of June and that Dáil representation be given to those living in the North.
On the day of protests and would be elections, Blair was visiting British troops in Basra, Southern Iraq-an irony not gone unnoticed by those in the North.

 The Irish Senate elections of 1925
The 1925 election for the Senate of the Irish Free State was possibly the most complex election ever carried out by the Single Transferable Vote (STV).
In 1928 the constitution was changed to cut out the direct election of the Senate by the people; the electorate for all subsequent Senate elections until the body's abolition by de Valera in 1935 was the Dáil and the outgoing Senate, and these proved much more amenable to party management.
The election's potential for consolidating the new State's democratic institutions had been critically undermined by the low turnout, at a time when the Boundary Commission and the absence from the Dáil of the largest opposition party were still unresolved.
