John Jinks (1872 – 11 September 1934) (often known simply as Alderman Jinks from his position as an Alderman on Sligo Corporation) was an Irish politician who served briefly in Dáil Éireann.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mr. John Jinks )〕 An auctioneer and licensed grocer, he was elected to Dáil Éireann as Teachta Dála (TD) for the 7-seat Leitrim–Sligo constituency at the June 1927 general election as a representative of the National League Party.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Jinks )〕 He is most famous for having been absent, on 16 August 1927, from a crucial vote of motion of no confidence in the Executive Council.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dáil Éireann - Volume 20 - Public Business. - No Confidence Motion )〕 This resulted in a tied vote (71–71) and the government survived only because of the casting vote of the Ceann Comhairle (chairman). Many colourful stories have grown up over the years as to the means by which his absence from the voting lobbies was secured, although it seems most likely that it was, in fact, a deliberate expression of his political views. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.irishidentity.com/extras/dail/stories/walkout.htm )〕 The proposed alternative government was a Labour Party/National League coalition, depending on the external support of Fianna Fáil. The September 1927 general election rapidly followed, at which he stood as an independent candidate and was not re-elected. In 1928 and 1934, he was elected to Sligo County Council as a Cumann na nGaedheal and Fine Gael candidate respectively. ==References== 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「John Jinks (politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
