Party positions were determined by expert judgement. For more information: https://www.chesdata.eu/ Three additional party positions, related to DI-specific questions, are included in the dataset. These positions were determined by experts involved in the 2019 edition of euandi after the elections took place. The inclusion of party positions in the “InDivEU – party preferences” is limited to the following issues: - General questions about the EU - Questions about EU policy - Questions about differentiated integration - Questions about party ideology 1 This includes all 27 member states of the European Union in 2020, plus the United Kingdom.

System Partyjny Malty
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Jagiellonian Univeristy Repository Aleksander Dańda SYSTEM PARTYJNY MALTY I. Uwarunkowania systemu partyjnego 1. Uwarunkowania historyczne W 1814 r. na mocy traktatu paryskiego Malta z rąk Zakonu Kawalerów Maltańskich przeszła w skład Imperium Brytyjskiego. Pierwszym organem na wyspie, który w swej funkcji przypominał ciało ustawodawcze, była Rada Rządowa, sformowana w 1835 r.1 Ośmiu spośród 18 członków tejże Rady było wybieranych w wyborach powszechnych (10 pozostałych było nominowanych na swe stanowiska). Większe znaczenie i większą niezależność niż Rada Rządowa uzyskał dwuizbowy parlament, utworzony na mocy konstytucji Malty, zaakceptowanej przez Londyn w 1921 r. Par- lament składał się ze Zgromadzenia Ustawodawczego (32 członków – wszyscy wy- bierani w wyborach powszechnych) i Senatu (17 członków – 7 wybieranych w wy- borach powszechnych, 10 nominowanych spośród przedstawicieli wiodących klas społecznych i grup zawodowych2). Kolejna konstytucja Malty z 1947 r. wprowadziła jednoizbowy parlament, w ca- łości pochodzący z wyborów powszechnych. Widać zatem, że system partyjny na Malcie miał dość dogodne warunki polityczne do tego, aby się rozwinąć, zanim jeszcze Malta uzyskała niepodległość w 1964 r. To właśnie dzięki działalności mal- tańskich partii politycznych (zwłaszcza Partii Nacjonalistycznej), ukształtowanych w okresie podległości politycznej wyspy rządowi brytyjskiemu, udało się przeforso- wać ideę przyznania Malcie niepodległości. Po wygranych przez Partię Nacjonali- styczną wyborach (1962 r.) w maju 1964 r. przeprowadzono na wyspie referendum, w którym większość Maltańczyków poparła projekt nacjonalistów uczynienia z Mal- ty dominium brytyjskiego. 21 września 1964 r. proklamowano niepodległość kraju. W tym samym dniu przyjęto również nową konstytucję. Malta, jako państwo domi- 1 Więcej na ten temat zob. -

The Independence Struggle and the CPM
COMMUNIST PARTY OF MALTA 28/8 Vincenti Bldgs Strait Street Valletta The Independence Struggle and the CPM Malta was a British Crown Colony since the beginning of the 19th Century after Malta’s then backward Peasants kicked out the French invader with the aid of Britain. Mistaking enlightenment that had brought about the French Revolution as something very anti Catholic. The British rulers made pacts with Vatican, thus the Church under these pacts became the de- facto ruler of the Maltese, second only to the colonial administration of the islands. Attempts to form a Communist Party during the 1920’s by a group of intellectuals and progressive workers failed after falling victims of the Church Hierarchy and the British colonial administrations. Homes were raided and classical Marxist literature were found, charged with the possession of seditious literature and sent on trial. Most of those on trial were given prison sentences, making the workers involved lose their jobs. Two large political parties survived the Second World War: :The Labour Party which made large gains during the war years and emerged as big Party after the War. :The Nationalist Party, the bourgeois party, although weakened by its affiliation with Italy’s Fascist Party prior to the war managed to survive. The 1947 elections gave a large electoral victory to the Labour Party. However in 1950 it became embroiled in a leadership struggle between its actual Leader Dr Paul Boffa and the then still young Dom Mintoff. Mintoff brought down this government in a vote of No Confidence. It was a turbulent time during the period between 1950 and 1955 as three minority Nationalist Party governments, in co-elation with Boffa’s Labour Party were brought down during Budget vote, by the Mintoff faction. -
