The People Before Profit (PBP, Irish Pobal Roimh Bhrabús , German : "People-before-Profit") is an Irish socialist party , which is politically active in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland .
history
The party was using the Socialist Workers Party (since 2018 Socialist Workers Network ) in 2005 as a People Before Profit Alliance founded (PBPA) and could achieve before the year 2016 only community in Northern Ireland mandates, while in the Republic in the House represented is. However, since the 2016 election to the Northern Ireland Assembly , she has also been represented in the Northern Ireland Assembly . In 2016 Gerry Carroll and Eamonn McCann were elected in the constituencies of West Belfast and Foyle, respectively. In the 2017 elections, McCann lost his seat, while Gerry Carroll remains a member of Parliament. Although the party lost a seat in this election, this is not due to a poorer election result, but rather due to an electoral reform in Northern Ireland that reduced the number of members of parliament.
The party has now merged with Solidarity in the Republic of Ireland into Solidarity – People Before Profit . The previous elected representatives of the PBPA, as well as those of the Socialist Party , presented the four-member parliamentary group in the lower house before the 2016 elections , for which the Solidarity-People Before Profit stood together for the first time.
