While the type of small political party In Ireland has varied,
their fate, it seems, has not. Although some enjoy a brief time in
the sun, termination is the long-term prospects for all minor
parties. The usual pattern is a speedy ascent, an impact on the
political system including a time in government, followed by a
prolonged termination. This book examines this pattern of evolution
for minor, or small, parties in Irish politics. As the Irish state
has changed, so too have the types of parties that have emerged.
With the first-time entry of the Greens into government in 2007,
their wipeout in 2011, the termination of the Progressive Democrats
in 2009, and the failure of a new party to emerge despite the
ongoing financial crisis, the time is ripe for this analysis.
