RISE (Ireland)
RISE is a democratic socialist organisation in Ireland, founded in September 2019 by Paul Murphy TD. The name is a contrived acronym standing for Revolutionary, Internationalist, Socialist and Environmentalist. It is not a registered political party and has instead formed part of the Solidarity–People Before Profit alliance for electoral purposes since its foundation. It supports the nationalisation of the banking system and the abolition of the “rights” of capitalist private property. RISE was formed from former members of Solidarity following a split in the party.Elections
RISE contested an election for the first time at the 2020 general election, in which it ran as part of the Solidarity–People Before Profit alliance. Paul Murphy, the party's founder and TD for Dublin South-West, was RISE's only candidate in this election and was reelected.General elections
