provisional sinn fin

'Provisional' Sinn Fin evolved from the split in Sinn Fin and the IRA that took place in the late 1960s. The leadership of both Sinn Fin and the IRA had developed a Marxist outlook that became unpopular with many more traditionalist nationalists/republicans. Things came to a head when it emerged the IRA had no guns to defend Belfast nationalists from rampaging unionist mobs and the RUC, as the leadership had sold them to Welsh separatists. Belfast republicans formed Provisional Sinn Fin and the Provisional IRA in response. The remainder of Sinn Fin became known as Official Sinn Fin which itself subsequently evolved into the Workers Party, which became the Democratic Left, which merged with the Labour party in the 1990's. The modern political party always terms itself simply Sinn Fin, as Official Sinn Fin has long fallen by the wayside. Provisional Sinn Fin is more usually used by their opponents, to prevent Sinn Fin drawing parallels between themselves and the Sinn Fin party that achieved independence for the south and west of Ireland in 1922. For a fuller history see the article Sinn Fin.
