摘要1998年耶稣受难日协议（GFA）加剧了工会主义内部长期存在的分歧，加剧了工会主义集团内部的政党竞争，使UUP面临新的政治和制度分配，并增加了社区内的选举竞争。以前经常通过身份讨论来看待的统一主义断层线现在已经转移到强调尖锐的政治分歧上。使用的数据，有史以来第一次会员调查的有效的统治机构的UUP，阿尔斯特工会理事会，本文探讨了这些部门的社会和态度的基础，体现了2000年5月特林布尔与史密斯的领导竞争。它的结论是，虽然具体的身份问题，特别是橙子秩序成员，仍然分裂工会主义者，更根本的社会和意识形态分歧的基础上的GFA的态度，威胁党的凝聚力和提高竞争的吸引力的DUP反GFA工会主义者。
Abstract The 1998 Good Friday Agreement (GFA) has exacerbated long‐standing divisions within unionism and heightened party competition within the Unionist bloc, confronting the UUP with a new political and institutional dispensation and increased intra‐communal electoral rivalry. Previous Unionist faultlines that were often viewed through discussions of identity have now shifted post‐GFA to an emphasis on acute political differences. Using data from the first ever membership survey of the effective ruling body of the UUP, the Ulster Unionist Council, this article examines social and attitudinal bases of these divisions, as embodied by the May 2000 Trimble versus Smyth leadership contest. It concludes that whilst specific identity issues, in particular Orange Order membership, still divide unionists, more fundamental social and ideological divisions underlie attitudes to the GFA, threatening party cohesion and heightening the competitive appeal of the DUP for anti‐GFA Unionists.
