	Parliament of Northern Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Parliament of Northern Ireland was bicameral, consisting of a House of Commons with 52 seats, and an indirectly-elected Senate with 26 seats.
		The 1921 general election was explicitly fought on the issue of partition, being in effect a referendum on approval of the concept of a Northern Ireland administration.
		The 1938 general election was called when the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Neville Chamberlain was negotiating a settlement of outstanding disputes with Eamon de Valera, whose new constitution laid claim to Northern Ireland, and the 1949 election was called when the Irish government declared itself a republic.

		As at Westminster, the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland was the leader of the largest party in the House of Commons, invariably the Ulster Unionists.
		The 1925 general election was called by the Unionists in order to tie in with the expected report of the Boundary Commission required by the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1922.
		The 1938 election was called when the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Neville Chamberlain was negotiating a settlement of outstanding disputes with Éire (as the Irish Free State had just become), whose new constitution laid claim to the province, and that of 1949 was called when the Free State declared itself a republic.

	United Kingdom general election, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Northern Ireland, the elections was contested by the Democratic Unionist Party, looking to make further gains over the Ulster Unionist Party in unionist politics, and by Sinn Féin and the Social Democratic and Labour Party in nationalist politics.
		In Northern Ireland, the election was dominated in the unionist community by a battle between the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) to be the region's largest unionist party in Parliament.
		Other elections in the province have shown both a shift in votes towards the DUP but also a collapse of support for the cross-community Alliance Party which is likely to be more marked in a first past the post election and thus which may work in the UUP's favour.

	CAIN: Politics: Elections: Introduction to the Electoral System in Northern Ireland
		During this time elections to the Stormont parliament, and to local authorities in Northern Ireland, were conducted under franchises which contained a number of distinctive features that were not then to be found elsewhere in the United Kingdom.
		The form of government and parliament in Northern Ireland was largely modelled on the Westminster model with a 52 seat lower house (House of Commons) and a 26 member upper house (Senate).
		The elections for the Assembly in June 1973, the Convention in May 1975, and the Assembly in October 1982 were conducted by PR-STV and 78 seats were contested based on the (then) 12 Westminster constituencies.

	Northern Ireland House of Commons, 1921-1972
		Elections to the Northern Ireland House of Commons were not on the whole great historical events, apart perhaps from the very first one in 1921 and the very last in 1968.
		Northern Ireland was divided into ten parliamentary constituencies for the elections following the Government of Ireland Act, and these were used for the 1921 and 1925 elections to the Northern Ireland House of Commons until 1929 (and for the Westminster House of Commons until 1950).
		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.
