9: Politics Made Simple (Northern Ireland’s Assembly Election Part 4): What is The UUP?


Listen Later

The Ulster Unionist Party (better known to the common folk as the UUP) are the second biggest Northern Irish Unionist Party, though they were the biggest dating from the formation of Northern Ireland in 1921 until the '70s when direct rule was ordered, but they still stayed influential until 2005 when they lost the title of 'Biggest Unionist Party' to the DUP.


As of April 2022, the UUP is currently led by Doug Beattie, who has changed their entire manifesto to being a lot more moderate, and away from their backwards-thinking traditional views, which meant they were seen as the 'Little DUP'.


But what are their beliefs, and what would you be voting for if you vote UUP on the 5th of May? In today's video, I will make this as easy to understand as possible.
