	Ulster Unionist Party - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP, sometimes referred to as the Official Unionist Party or OUP or, in a historic sense, simply the Unionist Party) is a moderate unionist political party in Northern Ireland, which formed its government between 1921 and 1972 and was supported by most unionists throughout the Troubles.
		Throughout this period the party was affiliated to the National Union of the Conservative Party and Ulster Unionist MPs at the Westminster Parliament were a part of the conservative block.
		While the party was considering structural reforms, including the connection with the Order, it was the Order itself that severed the connection after most of its membership transferred their allegiance to the Democratic Unionist Party.
