East Antrim (UK Parliament constituency)
Encyclopedia
East Antrim is a Parliamentary Constituency in the House of Commons and also an Assembly constituency in the Northern Ireland Assembly
. It has voted for Unionist candidates since its re-creation in 1983.
The original county constituency comprised the eastern part of County Antrim
, being carved out of the former Antrim constituency
. From 1885, East Antrim consisted of the baronies of Belfast
Lower and Glenarm
Upper, and parts of the baronies of Antrim Upper, Antrim Lower and Belfast Upper, and the town of Carrickfergus
.
It returned one Member of Parliament
1885-1922.
The current seat was created in boundary changes in 1983, as part of an expansion of Northern Ireland's constituencies from 12 to 17, and was predominantly made up from parts of North Antrim
and South Antrim
. Since further revisions in 1995 (when it lost part of the district of Newtownabbey
to the North Belfast constituency
) it now covers the entirety of the districts of Larne
and Carrickfergus, as well as part of Newtownabbey
and Moyle
.
to the North Belfast constituency
whilst in the north the seat would have gained the Glens and Ballycastle in Moyle
district from North Antrim
. East Antrim would have been renamed Antrim Coast & Glens. However this latter part of the proposal raised many questions, with some already arguing that the Glens have no natural ties to Jordanstown (and in 1995 the previous Boundary Commission cited this very reason when rejecting such a proposal). Furthermore some commentators felt that such a long coastal seat was too sprawling and lacking in natural ties.
Following consultation and revising the recommondations, the new boundaries for East Antrim were confirmed and passed through Parliament by the Northern Ireland Parliamentary Constituencies Order as follows:
, has proposed abolishing the seat and dividing it between North Antrim, Mid Antrim and South Antrim constituencies.
From 1886 to 1974 the Conservative and Unionist members of the United Kingdom House of Commons formed a single Parliamentary party.
From 1905 there was an Ulster Unionist organisation, but MPs sponsored by it are classified as Irish Unionists until the Northern Ireland general election, 1921 made the partition of Ireland
effective so that Irish Unionism ceased to be a realistic objective.
A victory for the Unionist candidate in 1918 by 15,206 votes to Sinn Féin's 861 votes demonstrated the virtual unanimity of the unionist support.
Consequently Sinn Féin did not contest the 1919 by-election
in the constituency.
In 1922, the constituency was incorporated into the Antrim constituency
, which from 1950 until 1983 was divided into the North Antrim
and South Antrim constituencies
.
contested the general election of 1918
on the platform that instead of taking up any seats they won in the United Kingdom Parliament, they would establish a revolutionary assembly in Dublin. In republican theory every MP elected in Ireland was a potential Deputy to this assembly. In practice only the Sinn Féin members accepted the offer.
The revolutionary First Dáil
assembled on 21 January 1919 and last met on 10 May 1921. The First Dáil, according to a resolution passed on 10 May 1921, was formally dissolved on the assembling of the Second Dáil
. This took place on 16 August 1921.
In 1921 Sinn Féin decided to use the UK authorised elections for the Northern Ireland House of Commons and the House of Commons of Southern Ireland as a poll for the Irish Republic
's Second Dáil
. This area, in republican theory, was incorporated in a seven-member Dáil constituency of Antrim

parties rarely exceeding 10%. However there have been above average votes for parties outside the traditional unionist block, such as the Alliance
and the Conservatives
. In the local government elections for the equivalent area many votes often go to independent candidates or groups such as the Newtownabbey Ratepayers Association
. While the SDLP sprung a surprise in 1998 by overtaking a DUP candidate to win the final seat due to Ulster Unionist transfers - the first time that any nationalist candidate has benefited in this way.
The main interest in Westminster Elections has been the contest between the Ulster Unionist Party
and the Democratic Unionist Party
. In 1983
the UUP were only 367 votes ahead of the DUP. As part of a pact to oppose the Anglo-Irish Agreement
the DUP did not contest the seat until 1992
but they still failed to come close, though in the 1996 elections to the Northern Ireland Forum they were only slightly behind the UUP. But in the 2001 general election
they achieved an astonishing result when they came with 128 votes of winning the Westminster seat, despite not having targeted it. In the 2003 Assembly election
they followed this up by gaining two additional MLAs and outpolling the UUP for the first time.
The DUP remained eager to take the Westminster seat and in the 2005 general election
they did so.
since the 2005 general election
is Sammy Wilson
of the Democratic Unionist Party
. In that election he defeated Roy Beggs
of the Ulster Unionist Party
