Integration with Britain Party
- Integration with Britain Party
The Integration with Britain Party (abbreviated IWBP) was a political party in Gibraltar. It was briefly in power from 1969 to 1972 when Robert Peliza of the IWBP was Chief Minister. The party's aim of closer links with the UK was dealt a severe blow when in 1975, the British Foreign Office Minister, Roy Hattersley, stated that integration was not acceptable to the British Government. The party later broke up and was succeeded by the Democratic Party of British Gibraltar, led first by Maurice Xiberras, formerly of the IWBP, and subsequently by Peter Isola. This party too disintegrated.
Another Chief Minister, Joe Bossano, began his political career in the IWBP, and was elected to the House of Assembly in 1972. However, he left the party in 1975 to form the Gibraltar Democratic Movement, which later became the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party.
The IWBP party has now been succeeded by the Integration With Britain Movement (IWBM) which is a pressure group that does not field candidates in elections. It is currently chaired by Joe Caruana.
