Muintir Na HÉireann
Muintir na hÉireann (; meaning "People of Ireland") was a minor political party in Ireland, with socially conservative and populist policies. It was founded in 1994 and active in the 1990s. The party had one public representative, former Green Party councillor Richard Greene, who served one term on Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council from 1991 to 1999. Greene left the Green Party in protest at its "left-wing social agenda", particularly its refusal to adopt an anti-abortion policy, and his party reflected his views on issues such as family values and the extradition of Irish republicans convicted of terrorist offenses to the United Kingdom. In 1995, Muintir supported independence of Chechnya from Russia. The party endorsed Mildred Fox in the 1995 Wicklow by-election for her anti-abortion stance. In 1996, Muintir sought a boycott of Virgin Media for selling pornography. In late 1996, Greene's relationship with Muintir na hÉireann broke down. Though its archived webs ...

Political Parties Disestablished In 1996
Politics (from , ) is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status. The branch of social science that studies politics and government is referred to as political science. It may be used positively in the context of a "political solution" which is compromising and nonviolent, or descriptively as "the art or science of government", but also often carries a negative connotation.. The concept has been defined in various ways, and different approaches have fundamentally differing views on whether it should be used extensively or limitedly, empirically or normatively, and on whether conflict or co-operation is more essential to it. A variety of methods are deployed in politics, which include promoting one's own political views among people, negotiation with other political subjects, making laws, and exercising internal and external force, including wa ...

Conservative Parties In Ireland
Conservatism is a cultural, social, and political philosophy that seeks to promote and to preserve traditional institutions, practices, and values. The central tenets of conservatism may vary in relation to the culture and civilization in which it appears. In Western culture, conservatives seek to preserve a range of institutions such as organized religion, parliamentary government, and property rights. Conservatives tend to favor institutions and practices that guarantee stability and evolved gradually. Adherents of conservatism often oppose modernism and seek a return to traditional values, though different groups of conservatives may choose different traditional values to preserve. The first established use of the term in a political context originated in 1818 with François-René de Chateaubriand during the period of Bourbon Restoration that sought to roll back the policies of the French Revolution. Historically associated with right-wing politics, the term has since b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

National Party (Ireland, 1995)
The Catholic Democrats was a minor conservative political party in Ireland that existed between 1995 and 2019. It was initially known as the National Party and later as the Christian Democrats before adopting its final name. History It was founded in December 1995 by Nora Bennis, a Catholic values and anti-abortion activist. Bennis had attained approximately 5% of the vote in the 1994 European election in the Munster constituency, running under the ''Family First'' label. Bennis played a role in the campaign against the divorce referendum of that year, which passed with 50.3% of vote in favour. She had run a conservative pressure group called Family Solidarity. The creation of the party by the Limerick-based Bennis caused tension in conservative Catholic circles, because it followed the establishment of the Christian Solidarity Party by Gerard Casey and other Dublin-based activists, who named their party to show support for Bennis' group. The National Party aimed to attract ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
