Parliament of Northern Ireland: Information from Answers.com (1685 words)
The Parliament of Northern Ireland was bicameral, consisting of a House of Commons with 52 seats, and an indirectly-elected Senate with 26 seats.
The 1921 general election was explicitly fought on the issue of partition, being in effect a referendum on approval of the concept of a Northern Ireland administration.
The 1938 general election was called when the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Neville Chamberlain was negotiating a settlement of outstanding disputes with Éamon de Valera, whose new constitution laid claim to Northern Ireland, and the 1949 election was called when the Irish government declared itself a republic.
CAIN: Issues: Politics: UUP (1968) 'Northern Ireland Fact and Falsehood: A frank look at the present and the past' (6304 words)
Elections to the Northern Ireland Parliament will in future be on the same basis as those for the United Kingdom Parliament, and they have indeed always been on a basis that was practically the same as in Britain.
Thus, at the 1966 United Kingdom general election, when Unionist candidates won eleven out of the twelve seats, they had in eight cases majorities of over 10,000, and in four of these cases their majorities were over 20,000 These represent unusually wide margins of "wasted" votes.
It is clear from the foregoing that the Northern Ireland Government has exerted itself to deal justly and impartially with a wide range of issues and, in particular, to be strictly fair with regard to those issues which might seem to touch its own interests in a party-political sense.
