 | | The Ulster Unionist Party has Catholic members; one of its most respected MLAs (Member of the power-sharing Legislative Assembly) is Catholic. | | | Unionists were in the majority in four counties (Antrim, Derry, Down and Armagh) but insisted on control over the counties of Fermanagh and Tyrone as well. | | | In the context of Irish politics, Unionists are people in Northern Ireland, who wish to see the continuation of the 1801 Act of Union, as amended by the Government of Ireland Act 1920, under which Northern Ireland, created in that latter Act, remains part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. |

| | Many southern unionists became reconciled with the Irish Free State, sitting in its senate or joining its political parties. | | | The Ulster Unionists were now led by Harry West from 1974 until 1979. | | | Until almost the very end of its period of power in Northern Ireland the UUP was led by a combination of landed gentry (Sir Basil Brooke [later Lord Brookeborough], Terence O'Neill and James Chichester-Clark) and gentrified industrial magnates (Sir James Craig later Lord Craigavon, and John Miller Andrews). |

| | Ulster Unionist Party - Introduction |
| | From 1886 Saunderson was leader of the Ulster and Irish Unionist MPs at Westminster, and in his capacity as leader of the Ulster Unionists, he nominated the first members of the Standing Committee of the Ulster Unionist Council in 1905. | | | At the Annual General Meeting of the Ulster Unionist Council in the Assembly Hall, Belfast on 24th February 1921, Sir James Craig was unanimously elected leader of the Unionist Party in Ulster, having been proposed by Carson and seconded by Sir James H Stronge. | | | As it prepares to enter the 21 st century, the Ulster Unionist Council continues to represent the political interests of the Ulster British people, and continues to work vigorously to preserve the unity of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in a period of flux in national and international politics. |

| | He also argued that by making their move first, the Ulster Unionists, weary of being blamed for intransigence, were transferring responsibility for the continuation of the new government to the republican movement. | | | The stalemate put a complete brake on progress in July, when the Ulster Unionists boycotted the session of the assembly at which the nominations to the executive cabinet were to be made. | | | For the Ulster Unionists, the most powerful voice of Protestant politics in Northern Ireland, Saturday's vote was a significant step away from a history of stubborn refusal to participate in arrangements devised to share power with Catholics. |
