Clann na Poblachta ((:kˠɫan̪ˠ n̪ˠə pʷɔbʷɫəxt̪ˠə) – (英語:Family (or Children) of the Republic)) was an Irish republican political party founded by former Irish Republican Army Chief of Staff Seán MacBride in 1946. ==Foundation== The party was launched officially on 6 July 1946 in Barry's Hotel in Dublin.〔''Sean MacBride - a Life'' by Elizabeth Keane p. 73〕 It held its first Ard Fheis in November 1947 in the Balalaika Ballroom. The party appealed to disillusioned young urban voters and republicans. Many had become alienated from Éamon de Valera's Fianna Fáil, the main republican party in Ireland, which in the view of more militant republicans had betrayed their principles during World War II by executing Irish Republican Army (IRA) prisoners. Clann na Poblachta also drew support from people who were tired of the old civil war politics and wanted more concern for social issues. In post-war Europe many people blamed the social evils of unemployment, poor housing, poverty and disease for the rise of fascism and communism. This new mood influenced people in Ireland also. Some people saw Clann na Poblachta as a replacement for Fianna Fáil. Others saw in it a replacement for the marginalised Sinn Féin, others still a break from the traditional pro- and anti-treaty Irish Civil War division. The new party grew rapidly during 1947. The party was influenced by social democratic policies such as United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, British prime minister Clement Attlee's welfare state, and elements of European Christian Democracy as well as Irish republicanism. It attracted a diverse range of people, from traditional republicans such as Noel Hartnett to social democrats such as Dr. Noel Browne, who had been attracted to the party due to its commitment to fight tuberculosis, and Peadar Cowan, a former Labour Party executive member who had resigned in disgust due to the infighting within that party at the time.〔''Sean MacBride - a Life'' by Elizabeth Keane pp. 74–75〕 Clann was formed at a time during a period of turmoil in Irish politics - Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael - the two major parties of the state - were weak. Fine Gael were in disarray because of their rival's seemingly hegemonic dominance and because of a perceived failure to be able to offer anything to disillusioned FF supporters. FF were visibly losing support because of the failure of the party's programme to end mass unemployment, poverty and emigration. The Labour Party had bitterly split in 1944 over personal differences between William X. O'Brien and James Larkin while Clann na Talmhan was regarded as being too specialist and too greatly concerned with the needs of farmers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clann na Poblachta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
