A Decision to Abstain: Labour vs. Hitler, 1936-7, Part 1
Between 1935 and 1937, a major transformation took place within the Labour Party regarding its policies toward rearmament, Appeasement and Hitler. During this time, the Party jettisoned its prior policies of disarmament and collective security through the League of Nations and instead, by 1937, accepted the fact that rearmament was needed if Britain were to stand up to Hitler.

A Unified Left?
Recent events in Dublin have served to graphically illustrate the internal problems that are being suffered within the "left unity" camp in the Republic. In a country dominated by two right-of-center parties, Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, the mainstream left is struggling to become a more powerful player in the politics of the state. It was hoped by some that the merger last January between the Labour Party and Democratic Left would create the dynamic in which a unified "left", represented by the new Labour Party, would see rapid gains. So far, all it seems to have created is problems.

Margaret Thatcher's Revolution of 1979? (book review)
Margaret Thatcher was one of the more important Prime Ministers of the twentieth century, particularly the second half. While it is too early to fully assess or begin to assess (in my opinion) the effect of her premiership, this extended essay of books by Kenneth Harris, Hugo Young, Kenneth Minogue and Michael Biddess, and Peter Jenkins offers a starting point for what is <i>now</i> a very tentative and incomplete historical account, but what will eventually be further completed by historians.

Dublin South-Central By-Election Results
The Labour Party has held onto its seat in the Dublin South-Central by-election, but the result was not exactly a ringing endorsement of its candidate. Activists from all parties had feared that turnout for the by-election, necessitated by the death of TD Pat Upton, might only be around 35%. In the actual event it turned out to be even worse, with only 28.1% of eligible voters casting a ballot, the lowest voter turnout in the history of the state. Various explanations were put forward by analysts: people are disgusted with politics in general because of recent well-publicized probes of high-level political corruption, there is often a lack of interest in by-elections to begin with, and there were two European-level soccer matches being televised on voting night that would have kept people at home.

Electoral Reform In 2000?
The next year could see impassioned debate in the Republic over the merits of changing Ireland's method of electing its politicians. The current Minister for the Environment, Fianna Fail's Noel Dempsey, has been a strong supporter of electoral reform for some time now and has been "floating" the idea in the media for months, perhaps in an effort to give the government some idea of public reaction to the proposal. Recently it was announced that the Fianna Fail/Progressive Democrat coalition would try to win a majority of Dail deputies over to the idea, which will enable the government to enact legislation calling for a national referendum on the new electoral system. If it were to pass, a new system could be in place before the next general election
