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".

“It is a well-settled principle of the international code that where one nation owes another a liquidated debt which it refuses or neglects to pay the aggrieved party may seize on the property belonging to the other, its citizens or subjects, sufficient to pay the debt without giving just cause of war.”
