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:
“At the moment when a man openly makes known his difference of opinion from a well-known party leader, the whole world thinks that he must be angry with the latter. Sometimes, however, he is just on the point of ceasing to be angry with him. He ventures to put himself on the same plane as his opponent, and is free from the tortures of suppressed envy.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
