The Protestant Unionist Party (PUP) was a unionist political party operating in Northern Ireland from 1966 to 1971. It was the forerunner of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and emerged from the Ulster Protestant Action (UPA) movement. It was founded and led by Ian Paisley, who also founded and led the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster. The PUP campaigned for the retention of the Union and for total freedom for Orange parades. The PUP was wound up in 1971 and re-emerged as the DUP in October of that year.

  • Le Parti unioniste protestant (PUP) est un parti politique unioniste actif en Irlande du Nord de 1966 à 1971. Il est le précurseur du Parti unioniste démocrate (DUP) et trouve son origine dans le mouvement Ulster Protestant Action (UPA). L'UPA avait deux conseillers élus dans le district de Belfast, réélus en 1967 en tant que candidats du PUP. Six candidats de ce nouveau parti se présentent contre des candidats du Parti unioniste d'Ulster (UUP) lors des élections du Parlement d'Irlande du Nord en 1969 et obtiennent plus de 20 000 suffrages. Lorsque Terence O'Neill, député et ancien Premier ministre et un autre de ses collègues démissionnent en 1970, le PUP propose deux candidats pour les sièges à pourvoir : Ian Paisley, dirigeant du parti, et son adjoint William Beattie. Ils sont tous les deux élus au parlement de Stormont. Paisley succède ainsi à Terence o'Neill dans la circonscription électorale de Bannside (comté d'Antrim) et est également élu, la même année, député de l'Antrim-nord, au parlement de Westminster. Le PUP mène campagne en faveur du maintien de l'union entre la province nord-irlandaise et le Royaume-Uni, un traitement préférentiel en matière d'emploi pour les protestants, et pour une liberté totale pour les marches orangistes. Le PUP se dissout en 1971 et est recréé sous le nom de Parti unioniste démocrate en octobre de la même année. Lors des élections générales de 1987, George Seawright, un candidat dissident du DUP d'origine écossaise, qui fut plus tard assassiné par le Irish People's Liberation Organisation (IPLO), a revendiqué l'étiquette de « protestant unioniste » pour sa candidature.

  • The Protestant Unionist Party (PUP) was a unionist political party operating in Northern Ireland from 1966 to 1971. It was the forerunner of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and emerged from the Ulster Protestant Action (UPA) movement. It was founded and led by Ian Paisley, who also founded and led the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster. The UPA had two councillors elected to Belfast Corporation. In 1967, both were re-elected as PUP candidates. The PUP stood six candidates against the ruling Ulster Unionist Party of the Northern Ireland parliament in the January 1969 general election. They polled over 20,000 votes, but gained no seats. When Terence O'Neill (the then Northern Irish Prime Minister) stood down from Stormont in 1970 along with one of his colleagues, the PUP nominated candidates for the two vacant seats. Both were successful. Ian Paisley and fellow Free Presbyterian minister, the Rev. William Beattie, PUP leader and deputy respectively, were elected. In that year's Westminster general election, Paisley was elected to represent Antrim North in the British House of Commons. The PUP campaigned for the retention of the Union and for total freedom for Orange parades. The PUP was wound up in 1971 and re-emerged as the DUP in October of that year. (en)
