National Party (Ireland)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Party was a minor conservative political party in Ireland, founded in December 1995 after the divorce referendum of that year, which passed with only 50.3 percent of voters in favour, showed that a large minority still supported traditional morality in legislation. The party's policies included support for Catholic morality, a smaller state role in the economy and financial support for rural communities. Anti-abortion activist Nora Bennis was the party leader, contesting the 1997 and 2002 elections under the National Party banner.
