United Newfoundland Party
- United Newfoundland Party
The United Newfoundland Party was the name of a conservative party in the Dominion of Newfoundland led by Frederick C. Alderdice from 1928 to 1934. It was organized by Alderdice when disaffected Liberals joined his Liberal-Conservative Progressive Party sitting in Opposition and won the 1932 general election. His government was ineffective and was replaced by an appointed Commission of Government in 1934 resulting in the termination of responsible government in the colony. ("see also Conservative parties in Newfoundland (pre-Confederation)")
The United Newfoundland Party was also the name of a party that ran in the 1959 provincial election, made up of people opposed to the more radical wing of the Progressive Conservative Party of Newfoundland and Labrador, some of whom still wished for Newfoundland Independence. The UNP was dissolved into the Newfoundland PC Party after the Tory leadership agreed to take a more moderate stance.
