 | | The party fared disastrously in the 2005 general election, losing five of the six Westminster seats it had previously won in the 2001 general election (the MP for one had defected to the DUP). | | | In October 1995, Patricia Campbell, a Catholic member of the UUP and personal secretary to Molyneaux, filed an employment discrimination case against the UUP with the Fair Employment Commission which was settled out of court. | | | The UUP had a Roman Catholic MLA (member of the Northern Ireland Legislative Assembly) (Sir John Gorman) until the 2003 election. |

| | 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. | | | He immediately tendered his resignation as Party Leader and on 2nd July 1979 - within four weeks of the election - he confirmed this and was succeeded by James Molyneaux MP, who defeated Rev Robert Bradford MP at a meeting of the Ulster Unionist Council held in the Ulster Hall on the 7th September 1979. |

| | Following the suspension of Home Rule 1972, the party split, and by 1973 there were three main Unionist groups: a pro-British White Paper Unionist group led by the former prime minister Brian Faulkner, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) of Ian Paisley, and a hard-line Vanguard Party led by William Craig (1931– ). | | | Anti-executive Unionists led by Harry West (1917– ), Vanguard, and the DUP joined to form the United Ulster Unionist Coalition (UUUC), but in 1977 the UUUC was dissolved, and Harry West's Official Ulster Unionist Party and Paisley's DUP were the only major Unionist contenders. | | | It secured 28 of the 108 seats in the new Northern Ireland Assembly, elected in June 1998, and Trimble was elected Northern Ireland's first minister at the Assembly's first meeting on 1 July (he resigned in June 2001, but agreed to stand for re-election in October 2001). |

| | Ian Paisley, the leader of the rival Democratic Unionist Party, accused the UUP of “surrender Unionism” and said his party would soon represent the majority of Loyalist voters. | | | Believing that the decision to retake seats in the Assembly prior to decommissioning would lead to splits in the UUP, he offered his party as the natural home for hard-line unionism—just as he has for the past three decades. | | | The tenor of debate was indicated by Trimble's declaration that Sinn Fein would require “house training in democracy”, with Martin McGuinness, Sinn Fein's chief negotiator and Education Minister, describing his remarks as “racist and highly sectarian”. |
