A new analysis of the difficulties in normalising opposition in the
Irish Free State, this book analyses the collision between
nineteenth-century monolithic nationalist movements with 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 while the larger revolutionary parties
descended from Sinn Fein attempt to recreate or restore notions of
revolutionary unity. This conflict made democracy and opposition
hard to establish in the Irish Free State. -- .
