Umlando Wempucuko Ephakeme

I-UP i-UP iqondana nesimiso sezenhlalakahle se-UUP ngokulandela isikhundla somthetho-sisekelo esiyingqayizivele sase-Northern Ireland nomlando wayo wengxabano. Phakathi nenkathi yePhalamende le-Sponsont (1921-191972), i-UP yabusa i-Northern Ireland ngokuzimela okukhulu, isebenzisa izinhlelo zezenhlalakahle ezaye zafaka isisekelo kodwa ngezinye izikhathi kodwa zabekwa ngemva kwalabo base-Great Britain.

Iqembu ligxile kakhulu ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi izinguquko azithinteli ngokungenakuqhathaniswa izindawo zasemaphandleni, lapho amathuba omsebenzi ephansi khona nezindleko zokuthutha ziphakeme khona. Njengoba indawo i-Breexit nethonya le Treat, izimiso zenhlala engcono nezokuhlala kahle kuyo kuyohlala kuyingxenye eyisihluthulelo yemibono yayo ebanzi yendawo echumayo nephakathi kwe-Interern Ireland ephakathi ne-UPuni.

Emashumini eminyaka, leliqembu liye laqala ukuvela esifundeni somvikeli wenhlala - kahle we-Stunsont-era kumsekeli wezenhlalakahle osekela ukusekela ukuqashelwa kwesimanje. Nakuba izimiso zalo ziye zabangela impikiswano embangweni yemibandela kanye nokugawulwa kwe-UUUUP ngokuyisisekelo, lihlala linezwi elibalulekile ekulungiseni isimo senhlala eNyakatho ye-Ireland.

Uma ubheka phambili, lo mcimbi kuyodingeka uqhubeke ulinganisela imfuno yokuzinza kwemali nesidingo sokuziphatha esidingekile sokuvikela labo abashiywe ushintsho lwezomnotho. Ukungantengantengi okuqhubekayo kwezombangazwe eNyakatho Ireland kanye nethuba lokuphinde uqhelane nenqubo yezenhlalakahle yase-UK kuyolinga ukuzama ukusekela kwawo njengeqembu lobuhlanga be-Pragmaticcentristism. Ngokunamathela ezimisweni zayo eziyisisekelo kuyilapho izama ukuvumelana namaqiniso amasha, i-UUP iyoqhubeka ithonya izimiso zenhlala kahle ezithinta ukuphila kwezinkulungwane zezakhamuzi zase-Ireland eNyakatho.
