		His access to internal party material such as a private recording of a debate between devolutionist and integrationist speakers at an East Antrim constituency meeting indicates the genuine depth of feeling and division within the party in the immediate years after the 1985 Hillsborough Pact.
		The party had ruled the state since its foundation in 1921 and found it difficulty to adjust to the new role of ‘opposition’ to the whims and follies of successive ‘Secretaries of State for Northern Ireland’.
		Although popular within the UYUC, the ‘equal citizenship’ position was greeted coolly within the senior party, as it would envisage the then ‘mainland’ British parties – the Tories, Labour, the SDP and the Liberals - organising and contesting elections here against UUP candidates.

	CAIN: Abstracts of Organisations - 'U'
		The Ulster Unionist Party was also known as the Official Unionist Party during the 1970s because of the fact that it represented the remnants of the Unionist Party which governed Northern Ireland at Stormont between 1921 and 1972.
		Although the party was a branch of the British Conservative Party ('the Conservative and Unionist Party') the decision of the Conservative government, led by Edward Heath, in March 1972 to prorogued the parliament at Stormont and introduce 'Direct Rule' from Westminster virtually broke the link between the two parties.
		The UUUC supported the Ulster Workers Council (UWC) strike of May 1974 and this political backing, to a stoppage that was mainly being conducted by Loyalist paramilitary groups, helped secure the eventual success of the strike.

		Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble has announced he will resign as party chief after losing a decade-long battle to steer Protestants towards compromise.
		The party that once dominated politics in the predominantly Protestant territory retained just one of Northern Ireland's 18 seats, and the highest-profile loser was Trimble himself.
		The Ulster Unionists declined to explain when Trimble's resignation would take effect or when the battered party's grassroots council would convene to elect a successor.

		Parties play an essential role in the development and propagation of ideologies; they are the essential mediators between the ideological realm and that of politics and government.
		In a party as bereft of intellectual ballast as the Ulster unionists, it was no great compliment to Trimble to point out that he was by far the most cerebral of the candidates for the leadership.
		He was the only mainstream unionist figure who had the intellectual and strategic capacity to enter into a serious contest with the leaders of constitutional nationalism and republicanism, John Hume and Gerry Adams.

	Ulster Unionist leader Trimble narrowly defeats leadership challenge
		Trimble, the first minister of the suspended Northern Ireland Assembly, was challenged for the party leadership by Martin Smyth, UUP chief whip at Westminster and a former grand master of the Orange Order—the hard-line Protestant cultural organisation that plays a major political role within Unionism.
		The leader of the nationalist Social Democratic Labour Party and deputy first minister of the Assembly, Seamus Mallon, spoke of a split in the Unionists which, he believed, could not be healed under Trimble's leadership.
		The Agreement asked the Unionists to sit down in a devolved Assembly with their republican-nationalist enemies in return for a promise to maintain a Unionist veto on any future unification with the South.

		The Unionist Party is not an electoral pact, or a coalition or council - it is a single party, just as Sinn Fein has become the single biggest party for republicans in the North.
		There are suggestions this group of UUP plotters is deliberately ensuring the party selects low-profile candidates for the forthcoming Westminster final showdown with the DUP for the handful of remaining Ulster Unionist seats.
		A merger with the UUP could enable the Paisley party to rid itself of the Free Presbyterian fundamentalist clique, whilst at the same time, it would enable the Ulster Unionists to dump the Orange Order baggage which has bedeviled the Ulster Unionist Council since the Drumcree parades saga grew nasty in the late 1990s.
