Politics of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Richard Taylor MP was elected for the Wyre Forest constituency in the 2001 and 2005 elections, on a platform opposing the closure of Kidderminster hospital. Until the 1960s the three main parties in Great Britain were mirrored in Northern Ireland, with the Ulster Unionist Party serving as the regional wing of the Conservative Party whilst the small Ulster Liberal Party served a similar role for the Liberal Party. The Labour Party elected staunch left-winger Michael Foot as their leader after their 1979 election defeat, and he responded to Margaret Thatcher's government by moving the party further to the left, a move which split the party and is widely believed to have made Labour unelectable for a decade. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Politics_of_the_United_Kingdom   (4696 words)

BBC News Northern Ireland Assembly appoints Ulster Scots translator Ulster Unionist deputy leader John Taylor is not so keen on the allocation of what he sees as scarce resources to Ulster Scots or the Irish language. The appointment of an Ulster Scots translator has been welcomed by language activists but has prompted a cool reaction from at least one leading Unionist politician. A language expert has been appointed by the Northern Ireland Assembly to interpret the words of politicians speaking in the province's newest official language. news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/northern_ireland/450725.stm   (459 words)

Dispatch 289 - March 17, 2002 Lord Kilclooney, who as John Taylor was for many years deputy to the party leader David Trimble, was a junior security minister in the Unionist administration at the time of the deaths. The Unionist politician said his belief was based on detailed information received from the army, and that it was his belief at the time that all of the victims were shot because they were endangering the lives of security force members. John Kelly, whose 17-year-old brother Michael was among those killed on Bloody Sunday, said: "It's incredible that he actually made that atrocious remark. dispatches.phoblacht.net /archive/dispatch289.htm   (2564 words)

Millward Brown Ulster - Reports - The Good Friday Agreement - Latest Public Opinion This arrangement was accepted at a special meeting of David Trimble's Ulster Unionist Party, but by October 2000, the continuing lack of IRA de-commissioning led to growing speculation as to the level of internal UUP support for the Agreement. As a core principle of the Agreement is inclusivity (i.e., that all the signatory parties must both participate and honour their stated commitments), a UUP ejection of David Trimble as leader could well terminate the Executive, Assembly and Agreement. The overall distribution of party support (on a first preference basis), indicates that both the SDLP and Ulster Unionist Party have improved their positions when compared to the 1998 Assembly Elections. www.ums-research.com /reports/2000/good_friday_agreement   (869 words)

AN PHOBLACHT/REPUBLICAN NEWS With nationalist politicians united in the call for the RUC to be disbanded and the conclusion of the Patten Commission on Policing imminent, the RUC must have hoped to have kept the collusion controversy under wraps. John Weir was a Sergeant in the RUC of eight years standing when he was convicted for his part in the murder of Catholic pharmacist William Strathearn. The unionist politician described the sectarian murder campaign by loyalist paramilitaries as a ``significant contribution''. republican-news.org /archive/1999/March18/18feat.html   (1933 words)

Taylor's lengthy paper trail: ThePost.ie Taylor is proud of the fact that Alpha remains in family hands - the Alpha operation also involves a son and a daughter, Taylor's brother-in-law and a son-in-law. Taylor has made conscious efforts to ensure that his newspapers in the North are as wide in their appeal as possible. After 40 years of politics, Taylor is more likely to while away his retirement years nurturing his burgeoning media empire. archives.tcm.ie /businesspost/2005/05/22/story4972.asp   (1824 words)

AN PHOBLACHT/REPUBLICAN NEWS John Taylor, deputy leader of the Ulster Unionist Party, warned: ``The plans are dynamite and could be the final blow for the Belfast Agreement.'' He was making the political point that the RUC is a unionist police force for a unionist people in a unionist state. One could be forgiven for thinking that the above quote was made in the past week by any unionist politician reacting to reports in the Belfast Telegraph on Wednesday 25 August outlining the possible changes to the RUC that the Patten Commission on RUC reform might propose. These are cosmetic changes, but what they amount to in the unionist psyche is the threat of change and the unionist reacrtion exposes their inability to deal with nationalists or move towards any understanding. republican-news.org /archive/1999/September02/02poli.html   (452 words)

Irish Abroad - Irish American News Former MP John Taylor, now Lord Kilclooney, confirmed Tuesday that he was “still interested in being an interim leader” until the party’s annual meeting in March next year. A Unionist politician strongly identified with the Orange Order’s prolonged protest at Drumcree is the latest contender for the leadership of the Ulster Unionist Party. However, the party’s sole MP is a woman, Lady Sylvia Herman, and it is extremely doubtful if the ultra-conservative Ulster Unionist Council could bring themselves to elect a female. www.irishabroad.com /news/irishinamerica/news/unionistsjostlejune0805.asp   (388 words)

CAIN: Events; Peace Process - Cash, John. D. 'The Framework Document and its Discontents' from Identity, Ideology and Conflict However, in the case of John Taylor, to take him merely as an example, we may be seeing the emergence within the UUP, the principal Unionist party, of an inclusivist Unionism which has the capacity to carry pragmatism beyond itself and into the unknown of a future beyond the politics of exclusivist identity. Politicians have a duty to talk, but it would be an irresponsible politician who would sit down at a negotiating table if the agenda excluded any outcome that would be satisfactory to those he represents. Taylor is one figure, and no doubt there are several others, who is prepared to draw cautiously upon inclusivist forms of Unionist ideology to reimagine intergroup relations within Northern Ireland and relations with the Republic. cain.ulst.ac.uk /events/peace/cash.htm   (6592 words)

Irish Examiner - News From Ireland - 16, September, 2000 Mr Taylor was responding in the wake of this week’s mortar bomb attack on an RUC base in Armagh and a bomb attack on the Army’s main training depot at Magilligan, County Derry. MP, John Taylor, deputy leader of the party, said increasing attacks by the Real IRA could damage the stability of the political process in Northern Ireland. Mr Taylor claimed that unless the Real IRA and Continuity IRA were brought to heel they will create a situation where unionist confidence in the Belfast Agreement will deteriorate. ted.examiner.ie /archives/2000/september/16/current/ipage_1.htm   (258 words)

BBC News NORTHERN IRELAND Loyalist paramilitary flags explosion John White says the flags are "an attempt by each organisation to show that they have influence in those areas". John White says that although some of the paramilitary flags are put up locally, most flag hanging has been organised directly by the paramilitaries. This led unionists to quip that the republican was "on the run again" when he announced he was also setting up an office at Stormont to save him "travelling time". newsvote.bbc.co.uk /hi/english/uk/northern_ireland/newsid_799000/799804.stm   (1724 words)

BBC - BBC Northern Ireland - News & Current Affairs - Hearts and Minds - If You Ask Me admirable unionist politician, there’s the bookish chap in severe black-framed glasses – sitting on the edge of the platform at one of those rallies where Mr Craig took the salute from men in arm-bands and leather jackets. The Trimble images that linger are of a politician as conflicted and awkward as the squad he headed. A year later, in 1997, Mr Trimble was televised walking into negotiations with Ulster Unionist colleagues, and former loyalist paramilitaries – including several convicted of murder and other serious crimes. www.bbc.co.uk /northernireland/heartsandminds/ifyouaskme/2005_IYAM/20050512.shtml   (525 words)

ireland.com - The Irish Times - FRONT PAGE As to whether Mr John Taylor's opposition would make the difference between victory and defeat, Mr Trimble says in an interview with The Irish Times today that it would make "a huge personal difference" to him. While usually reliable sources were adamant that an experienced politician such as Mr David Trimble would not have gone ahead with the meeting unless he was confident of victory, there were signs that canvassing by the "No" lobby was narrowing the gap. The battle over the future of Ulster Unionism enters its final phase today with intense lobbying by both sides ahead of tomorrow's Ulster Unionist Council debate on the devolution and decommissioning deal worked out in the Stormont talks. www.ireland.com /newspaper/front/1999/1126/fro2.htm   (511 words)

Guardian Unlimited The Guardian Blowing with the political wind, marching to an unheard drum Mr Taylor, leader manqué of the Ulster Unionists, was yesterday resisting all appeals to appear shoulder to shoulder with his nominal boss, David Trimble, to sell the Hillsborough proposals. Mr Taylor says his doubts come from the government's failure to spell out what the IRA offer means, plus a lack of clarity on the issues of the RUC and the union flag over Stormont. Mr Taylor, known as the weathervane because he moves whichever way the wind is blowing, has speedily shifted in the past fortnight towards the no camp. www.guardian.co.uk /uk_news/story/0,3604,222449,00.html   (775 words)

Newshound: Links to daily newspaper articles about Northern Ireland Not bad for a man who was slammed by Ulster Unionist Deputy Leader John Taylor when he first arrived at the peace talks as the equivalent of having " an American Serb preside over talks on the future of Croatia." No one is using those descriptions now. Gone too, forever would be the American dimension to these talks, the easy access to the White House for every two a penny politician in Northern Ireland, the extraordinary commitment of a president unlike any in history to solving Northern Ireland’s problems.

Irish Examiner - 2001/05/29: Four ladies-in-waiting set to defy odds in NI poll In the nearby Strangford constituency, DUP candidate Iris Robinson, the wife of party deputy leader Peter Robinson, is a firm favourite to see off Ulster Unionist David McNarry in John Taylor's old seat.
