| 词条 | George Green (politician) |
| 释义 |
George Green was a unionist politician in Northern Ireland. Green was the chairman of the Ulster Special Constabulary Association (USCA), a group which focussed on opposition to the Irish Republican Army.[1] He was elected to North Down Borough Council in 1973 as an independent loyalist.[2] At the 1973 Northern Ireland Assembly election, Green stood in North Down for the Vanguard Unionist Progressive Party, but he was not elected.[3] Through his role in the USCA, he was a prominent leader of the Ulster Workers' Council strike,[1] and was able to gain election to the Northern Ireland Constitutional Convention.[3] Soon after, he left Vanguard to join the United Ulster Unionist Party split,[1] but this was collapsing by 1980, and Green instead joined James Kilfedder's Ulster Popular Unionist Party, for which he very narrowly missed being elected to the Northern Ireland Assembly, 1982.[3] Green left the Popular Unionists, and was re-elected at the 1985 local elections for the Ulster Unionist Party, then in 1989[4] and 1993 for the Conservatives in Northern Ireland, standing down in 1997.[5] References1. ^1 2 Henry Patterson and Eric P.
