Ulster Unionists

Ulster Unionists are individuals and political groups in Northern Ireland who support remaining part of the United Kingdom. They advocate for maintaining strong ties with Britain, emphasizing unionism—opposition to Irish reunification—and often prioritize political, cultural, and economic connections with the UK. Historically, they have played a significant role in Northern Irish politics and have aimed to protect Protestant, unionist, and British identities within the region. Their stance contrasts with Irish nationalists or republicans, who seek a united Ireland independent of Britain.
