Sinn Féin's manifesto for the 1918 Irish general election was strongly separatist, continuing the party's policy of abstaining from the British parliament when elected and now pledging to create a new constituent assembly to establish the Irish Republic. After the party's reform in 1917, it campaigned against conscription in Ireland. Following the armistice of 11 November 1918, the British government called a general election for 14 December, in which Sinn Féin won 73 out of 105 seats in Ireland.
