United Labour Party (Northern Ireland)
- United Labour Party (Northern Ireland)
The United Labour Party was a minor political party in Northern Ireland. It was founded by Paddy Devlin in 1978 with the aim of being a broad based Labour formation, as opposed to the Northern Ireland Labour Party, which primarily drew its support from Protestants, and the Social Democratic and Labour Party, which Devlin saw as an Irish nationalist party.
Devlin stood as a United Labour Party candidate in the 1979 European Parliament election but polled just 6,122 first preferences (1.1% of those cast) and thereby lost his deposit.
In 1987, the group joined the Labour '87 coalition.
