dbo:abstract
  • "A Protestant parliament for a Protestant people" is a term that has been applied to the political institutions in Northern Ireland between 1921 and 1972. The term has been documented as early as February 1939, when Bishop Daniel Mageean, in his Lenten pastoral, stated that prime minister, James Craig had adopted the words as his slogan. The implication was that Irish Catholics had no political status in the country. Many of them supported the Nationalist Party that chose a policy of abstentionism between 1921 and 1965, resulting in a large majority of Protestant members. They also alleged that local gerrymandering had increased since 1921. (en)
