The Constitutional Party (Maltese: Partit Kostituzzjonali) was a pro-British political party in Malta.[1] It had representatives in the Maltese Legislative Assembly and Council of Government between 1921 and 1945, and again between 1950 and 1953,[2] forming a government between 1927 and 1930[3] with the support of the Labour Party. A splinter group, the Progressive Constitutionalist Party was represented in Parliament between 1962 and 1966. The party was very much centred on the figure (and wealth) of its long-time leader Lord Strickland, with party supporters colloquially known in Maltese as "Stricklandjani".[4]
