Unionist

A Unionist is someone who supports maintaining political, economic, or cultural unity within a specific country or region. For example, in Northern Ireland, Unionists favor remaining part of the United Kingdom, emphasizing strong ties with Britain. They often advocate for policies that preserve this connection and may oppose movements seeking independence or separation. The term can vary depending on the context, but generally, it signifies a commitment to unity within a political entity rather than independence or political change.
