  Scottish Prohibition Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scottish Prohibition Party was a minor Scottish political party founded in 1901.
It was represented in the House of Commons by Edwin Scrymgeour from 1922-1931, after he defeated Winston Churchill.
The party consisted of little beyond the one man, and in general supported the Labour Party.

 Edwin Scrymgeour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He is the only person ever elected to the House of Commons on a prohibitionist ticket as the candidate of the Scottish Prohibition Party.
Because of his popularity, general left-wing sympathies and history with the labour movement, from 1922 the Labour Party came to an arrangement whereby they nominated only one candidate for the two-member Dundee constituency and ran what was in effect a joint campaign.
Scrymgeour was a leader of the unsuccessful opponents of disbanding the Scottish Prohibition Party in January 1935.

And this is a party that actually may have had some bearing on national policy during its peak in the early part of the twentieth century, especially in pressuring the major parties to adopt the policy goal of prohibition.
Because parties and party systems are so central to democratic politics, their features and behavior have been the subject of research across many subfields in political science, including the study of voting, elections, legislatures, presidents and executives, bureaucracies, courts, electoral systems, and international relations.
Party systems, we suggest, are shaped by social cleavages, electoral rules, political entrepreneurs, and a fourth element that interacts with all three of these others and creates incentives for candidates and elected officials to link voters in disparate geographic locations under common party labels.

 United Kingdom general election, 1918 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Ireland, the Irish Parliamentary Party lost almost all their seats, most of which were won by Sinn Féin.
This is because it saw the overwhelming defeat of the moderate nationalist Irish Parliamentary Party, which had dominated the Irish political landscape since the 1880s, and a landslide victory for the radical Sinn Féin party, which had never previously enjoyed significant electoral success.
The aftermath of the elections saw the convention of an extra-legal parliament, the First Dáil, by the elected Sinn Féin candidates, and the outbreak of the Irish War of Independence.

In August 1931 MacDonald quit the government to form the multi-party National Government.
The decision of MacDonald to join the National Government with the Conservatives had lead the Labour Party to expell him from the party, which split into two groups (The Labour Party and the National Labour Party).
Due to this, and the previous Labour government's failure to tackle the economic crisis, the Labour vote fell sharply, and the Conservatives, led by Stanley Baldwin won a huge majority, although the prime minister of the resulting National Government was still Ramsay MacDonald.
