Labour Coalition

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Labour Coalition was an electoral coalition in Northern Ireland of socialist and labour groups, formed to stand in the 1996 Northern Ireland Forum elections. The coalition had the support of the Labour Party of Northern Ireland, Irish Militant Labour and the Newtownabbey Labour Party, in addition to several individuals associated with the the British and Irish Communist Organisation among others.

The coalition gained only 6,425 votes (0.85% of the total), and as the tenth most successful grouping in the election, it was entitled to two top-up seats on the Forum, for which it nominated Malachi Curran and Hugh Casey.

Soon after the election, the coalition disintegrated.
