[edit] 1951 election

According to the Keele University website (http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/area/uk/ge51/i08.htm), in the 1951 general election, Fermanagah and South Tyrone was won by an Anti-Partition candidate. This seems to contradict the article (which suggests that the League won no Westminster seats) but I'm wary of making changes in an area where others are probably more knowledgeable.

The candidate that was elected was Cahir Healy a member of the Nationalist party, but also a member of the Anti-Partition League, although he stood in the election for the Nationalist party.--Padraig (talk) 09:12, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
