Talk:Ulster Unionism

Right

This is about as far as I can take this without exploding in a wave of bias and anti-Unionist fervour. I'll let an expert develop it further Denis Cavanagh 04:51, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

Checklist

I've decided to expand this. I have started by describing the period of Unionist control of Northern Ireland (1921-1972), perhaps this should be in a seperate article. please let me know Denis Cavanagh 08:19, 29 August 2007 (CDT)

Nice job, and neutrally written. In fact, if anything, there is a lack of criticism - such as why there was a need for the civil rights marches, for example (discrimination in housing, jobs, etc.). For now, I think, this is better off staying as one article - it can always be split off later if/when its expanded further. Anton Sweeney 11:55, 29 August 2007 (CDT)

Ulster Unionism vs Unionism

I think this article might have to be renamed. The article is about unionism, but this is a different thing than Ulster Unionists - a phrase which is ambiguous because it can refer specifically to the Ulster Unionist Party. Although the UUP had been the mainstream unionist political party since before Home Rule was introduced (when it had been an all-Ireland concern), it is not all there is to unionism - particularly not today, given we have had Loyalism, the DUP, PUP, TUV, UDP etc etc. --Mal McKee 13:25, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Good point - what do you suggest - maybe Unionist Politics in Northern Ireland? with a redirect from Ulster Unionism?Gareth Leng 13:53, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Religion tag

The Religion tag should be removed from this article. This is about a political ideology, not a religious movement or organisation. --Mal McKee 13:32, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

I agree and have just done it, and put Politics first.Gareth Leng 13:51, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
