The premise, partially based on DerGreifs TL and ideas of pipisme:
Due better German diplomacy on naval arms race and 1st Moroccan Crisis, Britain remained out from WW1 (since Germany fought it out with Russia and France without violating the neutrality of Belgium by attacking against Russia first), ultimately pressuring exhausted combatants to make peace after the Russian Revolution where Social Revolutionaries and Mensheviks toppled the Czarist regime. The following peace granted Germany more priviledges in Morocco and parts of French colonial empire in Pacific and Africa, while still leaving France standing as a Great Power despite her turbulent postwar domestic politics.
But enough of the rest of the world, let's focus on Ireland.
Here the Irish Home Rule Act 1914 finally went ahead. It had a clause whereby after five or six years the counties of Ulster would have the option to vote to leave the jurisdiction of the Dublin Parliament. Fermanagh and Tyrone had Catholic/Nationalist majorities and voted to stay in 'Home Rule' Ireland, while the Four Counties used the clause to leave.
How are things now in mid-1930s, twenty years later? Aside from the low-scale violence, demonstrations and riots during the turbulent early implementation phase of Home Rule, Dominion of Ireland is relatively peaceful and has benefitted from the deepening economical ties to Britain and Empire.
In domestic politics the recent major change has been the steadily rising support for Irish Labour Party led by James Connolly, mirroring the development in rest of the UK, where Labour has slowly risen to position to alter the the traditional balance of power between the Liberals and Conservatives.
But what about the rest of the Irish domestic politics and parties? I'm not speaking about marginal fringe groups like Sinn Fein, but major ruling parties and key politicians. Who are they?
