Party or factional political interests

Unique IDAY-0078Description*** This activity applies to the City of Sydney only ***

The political combination interests of Aldermen and Councillors: as members of formal party groupings or, less formally, as members of factions, alliances or tactical groupings within the Council.

Hilary Golder (Sydney's Elections: a short electoral history of Sydney City Council 1842-1992) (Sydney, SCC 1995) p28 suggests that overt party-political contests for election to the Council are recognisable only from about 1900 and the emergence of the Labor Party as a force in City politics.CreationSubject to research.
