Constitutional Party (Malta)
The Constitutional Party was a pro-British political party in Malta which had representatives in the Maltese Legislative Assembly and Council of Government between 1921 and 1945 and 1950 and 1953, forming a government between 1927 and 1930 with the support of the Labour Party. A splinter group, the Progressive Constitutional Party was represented in Parliament between 1962 and 1966. The party was very much centred around the figure (and wealth) of its long-time leader Lord Strickland and, in fact, party supporters were colloquially known in Maltese as "Stricklandjani".

Famous quotes containing the word party:
“Growing older, I have lost the need to be political, which means, in this country, the need to be left. I am driven into grudging toleration of the Conservative Party because it is the party of non-politics, of resistance to politics.”
—Kingsley Amis (1922–1995)
