	Official Sinn Féin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Official Sinn Féin (later renamed "Sinn Féin the Workers Party") was a Marxist Irish republican political party which evolved from the split in Sinn Féin and the IRA that took place in 1970.
		The leadership of both Sinn Féin and the IRA had developed a Marxist outlook that became unpopular with many more traditionalist republicans, and the party/army leadership was criticized for failing to defend northern Catholic enclaves from loyalist attacks.
		Similarly, the associated paramilitary group was referred to as the Official IRA and the movement as a whole as the official republican movement, or informally the Officials or Stickies.

	Sinn Féin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sinn Féin, and many people sharing their views towards a United Ireland, typically refer to Northern Ireland as the Six Counties, as the region is made up of the six counties which did not join the Irish Free State when it formed in 1922, choosing instead to remain part of the United Kingdom.
		Sinn Féin was boosted by the anger over the execution of Rising leaders, even though before the executions, the Roman Catholic hierarchy, the Irish Independent newspaper (the biggest selling daily newspaper in Ireland then and now) and many local authorities actually called for the mass execution of Rising leaders.
		Sinn Féin won 73 of Ireland's 106 seats in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland parliament at the general election in December 1918 and many of the seats it won were uncontested.

		Sinn Féin currently has five TDss in Dáil Éireann in the Republic, as well as four MPs in the British House of Commons, though the latter refuse to take their seats because to do so would mean swearing an oath of allegiance to the British monarch.
		Sinn Féin was 'wrongly' blamed by the British for the Easter Rising, with which it had 'no association', other than that some of its ideas, though not its championing of an Anglo-Irish dual monarchy, influenced some of its leaders.
		Sinn Féin won 70% of Ireland's seats in the British parliament at general election in December 1918 and 497,107 votes but it is difficult to assess how much support it genuinely had most of the seats it won (indeed most of the seats won by everyone) were uncontested.
