Description
A new analysis of the difficulties in normalising opposition in the Irish Free State, Democracy and Dissent in the Irish Free State analyses the collision between nineteenth-century monolithic nationalist movements and the norms and expectations of multiparty parliamentary democracy.
The Irish revolutionaries' attempts to create a Gaelic, postcolonial state involved resolving tension between these two ideas. Smaller economically-driven parties, such as the Labour and Farmers' parties, attempted to move on from the revolution's unnatural focus on nationalist political issues. Meanwhile, the larger revolutionary parties descended from Sinn Féin attempted to recreate or restore notions of revolutionary unity.
This conflict made democracy and opposition hard to establish in the Irish Free State.
