| | Democratic Unionist Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Democratic Unionist Party is a right-wing unionist party in Northern Ireland led by Ian Paisley. | | | The DUP fought the resulting election to the Northern Ireland Assembly and took two seats in the multi-party power-sharing executive but while serving as ministers refused to sit in at meetings of the Executive Committee (cabinet) in protest at Sinn Féin's participation. | | | In the delayed Northern Ireland Assembly election of 2003 the DUP became the largest political party in the region, with 30 seats. |

| | The party led by the right-wing demagogue, Reverend Ian Paisley, increased its share of the 108 seats in the Assembly from 20 to 30, taking seats from the minority unionist parties such as the UK Unionist Party and the Progressive Unionist Party. | | | The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) led by current First Minister of the Assembly David Trimble lost one seat, retaining 27. | | | The absence of any genuine democracy was exemplified by an election held for seats in an Assembly that is not even functioning—purely on the say-so of Blair. |

| | Nick Griffin and his allies in the party know that they will never win more than a handful of seats as long as they are perceived as white supremacists by most voters. | | | Griffin and his allies know that the time is right for a new party of the right to pick up the votes of disgruntled Tories and of former Labour voters abandoned by Blairism. | | | Add to that the legislation against 'hate speech' by successive governments and we are left with an environment where advocates of free speech are threatened by both the law and the mob. |
