Mid Ulster, 1983-1992 This constituency was a little changed from the old Mid-Ulster; it included all of Cookstown and Omagh districts, and parts of Strabane and Magherafelt. The old Mid Ulster constituency was essentially split in two in 1995, with the larger part becoming the core of the new West Tyrone constituency and the eastern section becoming the core of a very different Mid Ulster. www.ark.ac.uk /elections/bmu.htm   (259 words)

The boycotting of Ulster Protestants It may be said that in Ulster British people lose both lives and livelihoods as a consequence of the government's policies of duplicity and appeasement, whereas in England British fishermen and the owners of small businesses merely lose their livelihoods. A further reason for asserting that the abuse, boycotting and murder of Ulster's Protestants is in reality religious persecution, turns on the political and constitutional gains which self-proclaimed moderate and constitutional Irish nationalists have made at the expense of the Protestant victims of Provisional IRA terror. The boycotting of Ulster's Protestant businessmen reveals the Roman Catholic Church's persecuting spirit and confirms the analysis of the Rev John McDonald, of Mr A. Ferris, of F Turgenot and others. members.tripod.com /~Ulster_01/boycott.htm   (10939 words)

West Tyrone (UK Parliament constituency) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia West Tyrone is a British Parliamentary Constituency in the House of Commons and also an Assembly constituency in the Northern Ireland Assembly. In the 2001 general election the SDLP and Sinn Féin both targeted the constituency heavily, in the hope that a shift in the vote from one nationalist party to the other would enable them to outpoll the Ulster Unionists. Between 1997 and 2001 the MP was William Thompson of the Ulster Unionist Party. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/West_Tyrone_(UK_Parliament_constituency)   (619 words)

Mid Ulster (UK Parliament constituency) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mid Ulster is a Parliamentary Constituency in the House of Commons and also an Assembly constituency in the Northern Ireland Assembly. In both its incarnations, Mid Ulster has seen a precarious balance between unionist and nationalist voters, though in recent years the nationalists have advanced significantly to be in a clear majority. This may have contributed to the Social Democratic and Labour Party standing a candidate against her in the February 1974 general election and the nationalist vote was strongly divided, allowing John Dunlop of the Vanguard Progressive Unionist Party to win with the support of the Ulster Unionist Party and the Democratic Unionist Party. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mid_Ulster_(UK_Parliament_constituency)   (1033 words)

For the Ulster Unionists, the outgoing Assembly member Mr Billy Armstrong is joined by Mr Trevor Wilson. www.ireland.com /focus/nielection/constituencies/midulster.htm   (356 words)

<irelandwhitepaper>   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) The Tudors moved vigorously to confiscate the land of the native Roman Catholics in Ulster — it being the last province to be colonized on the island — and grant control to the English Protestants (Anglicans) and Scots (Presbyterians). This became known as the Ulster plantation, infamous for the efficiency and cruelty of its population ‘clearances'. David Trimble was elected leader of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), the moderate wing of the Unionists, with a reputation as a hardliner, having recently clasped hands with Ian Paisley in a triumphal swagger down the Garvaghy Road, a nationalist community. interactioninstitute.org /ireland/Irelandwhitepaper.php   (9349 words)

FT.com - Special Reports / UK Election 2001 Here the fight is between David McNarry of the UUP, a leading Orange man who during the Drumcree parade dispute in 1998 famously threatened to bring the province to a standstill and on the DUP side, Iris Robinson, wife of the deputy DUP leader and East Belfast MP, Peter Robinson. The constituency has a majority nationalist electorate but if the nationalist vote is evenly split, it is possible the UUP could retain the seat. In neighbouring Fermanagah and South Tyrone - another mixed community constituency - James Cooper is trying to hang on to the seat held for the last 18 years by Ken Maginnis, the veteran UUP MP, against Sinn Fein's Michelle Gildernew. specials.ft.com /ukelection2001/FT3XI1IVPNC.html   (665 words)

INA/Irish Peace Process Election Results In the local elections, the party ended with a total of 108 seats, (an increase of 34), and is set to take the mayoralty of Belfast city council following the victory of Joe O'Donnell as the first SF councillor in east Belfast. The result marked a significant increase in Sinn Fein's vote in the constituency with Mr Doherty increasing his share from 14,230 in 1997 to 19,814. Winning back the border constituency of Fermanagh/South Tyrone originally won by hunger striker Bobby Sands was a stunning climax to the day and brought delirious scenes at a count centre domainated by Sinn Fein supporters, scenes which nationalists believed may be repeated in five years time. www.inac.org /peaceprocess/elections.php   (1342 words)

Slugger O'Toole: And so, the end is near... PA reported that the UUP is now expected to arrange a meeting of the party executive to organise a special meeting of the Ulster Unionist Council which will elect a new leader and at which point Mr Trimble said he would resign. Posted by: fair_deal at May 7, 2005 06:38 PM many years ago I remember a newly elected Unionist leader of my acquaintance telling me smugly, that, unlike any of his predecessors in post, HE would of course be able to restore Unionism to greatness, because he would be the first Unionist leader to outlast Paisley........ Posted by: Former Ulster Unionist at May 8, 2005 04:21 PM FUU, you can't really accuse Trimble of taking the party down with him given that the party supported him through something like ten separate leadership contests throughout the years since the agreement was signed. www.sluggerotoole.com /archives/2005/05/and_so_the_end.php   (6462 words)
