Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Hiberno-English Шаблон:Infobox political party Independents 4 Change[1] is an Irish political party.

History

The political grouping registered as a political party since 2014.[2] It was previously known as Independents for Equality Movement.

The party adopted its current name in September 2015, after the establishment of the Right2Change electoral alliance, which its candidates in the 2016 general election subscribed.

Within the 32nd Dáil, I4C took advantage of revised Dáil standing orders to form their own technical group, which also included three Independent TDs who were not members of the party itself: Catherine Connolly, Thomas Pringle, and Maureen O'Sullivan.[3][4][5]

Tommy Broughan left the party on 26 July 2016.[6]Шаблон:Failed verification

In 2016 Ruth Nolan, a member of South Dublin County Council for Lucan who had been elected for People Before Profit, joined Independents 4 Change.Шаблон:Citation needed

In May 2020, Joan Collins left I4C to found a new party called Right to Change, leaving the party with no TDs.[7]

Electoral history

Four candidates contested the 2014 local elections for the group in each of the local electoral areas in Wexford County Council.[8] None of them were elected.

Mick Wallace,[9] Clare Daly,[9] Joan Collins,[10] and Tommy Broughan,[11] and councillor Barry Martin[9] contested the 2016 general election for Independents 4 Change, with Broughan, Collins, Daly and Wallace being elected.

At the 2019 European Parliament election, Clare Daly and Mick Wallace were elected as MEPs; they became part of The Left group in the European Parliament as did the Sinn Féin MEP Matt Carthy. Three councilors were elected for Independents 4 Change in the local elections held on the same day, including former Labour TD from Sligo, and longtime Independent Socialist councillor Declan Bree.

In the 2020 general election, Independents 4 Change returned one TD, Joan Collins in Dublin South-Central. However, Collins would leave the party a few months into the new Dáil, forming a new political party, Right to Change.
