Unionists

Unionists are individuals or groups that support the political union of Northern Ireland with the United Kingdom, as opposed to Irish nationalism, which advocates for a united Ireland. Unionists often identify with British culture, heritage, and identity and typically belong to or have ties with the Protestant community in Northern Ireland. Their primary goal is to maintain Northern Ireland's status as part of the UK, emphasizing loyalty to the British crown and seeking to preserve their distinct cultural identity against the backdrop of ongoing political and sectarian tensions.
