National Independent Party (Ireland)

The National Independent Party was a small Irish political grouping which was launched in 2014.[1] Established by Englishman Martin Critten,[1][2] it grew from the "Slí Níos Fearr" anti-austerity group,[3][4] itself formed in 2012.[5] Its founders also included Peter O'Loughlin.[1][6][7] The National Independent Party was launched in January 2014 when it also announced its intention to register as a political party.[1][8]

The group's policies included a citizen's charter,[8] leaving the eurozone,[1] opposition to economic migration,[1] reducing the number of political representatives, reform of the Dail and Seanad, and general electoral reform.

As of 2016, the last post on its website was dated January 2015.[9] As of 2018, the group appeared defunct.
