Demographic and political
Most people in Northern Ireland are two different factions: the United faction or ethnic faction. External media often use of these two major religious factions to distinguish them. Most of the United camp was a Protestant (Protestants), the majority of nationalists who are Catholic (Catholics). But not all Catholics support the nationalists, nor support the joint allocation of all Protestants. Similar to other parts of Europe, Catholics in Northern Ireland in recent decades, the number is smaller, but this did not reduce the differences between the two factions. Northern Ireland was established in 1920, its location makes the joint school where the majority of people. If the United camp in Northern Ireland to the Irish fear that their status would be threatened, so they are opposed to the Irish, but since then the proportion of Catholics increased, but decreased the proportion of Protestants. The majority of Catholics support the merger with Ireland, but the opinion polls prove that many people support to stay in the UK, although they continue to support the nationalists parties. In the past 15 years, this minority sent continuously reduced to 20%. Irish Protestants support the merger of about 3 to 5%, but little change in their number. Many people, especially Catholics, the future status of Northern Ireland, the answer is not very clear. Although the news reports of election in Northern Ireland is often seen as opinion polls on the status of Northern Ireland, but this view oversimplifies the situation on the ground. Voters in the election are often also taken into account by the election to improve their own social status or the power to strengthen their communities. Northern Ireland's political parties can be divided into two tiers: national political parties to send the Social Democratic Labor Party (SDLP), Sinn Fein and other small parties, the political parties in Northern Ireland unionist Unionist Party (UUP), Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and some other small parties. Sinn Fein (Sinn Fein) theory is an extreme socialist revolutionary party, and its objective is to establish a full Irish Socialist Republic, which with the Irish Republican Army (IRA) are linked. It's voters traditionally mainly from the Catholic working-class city and some rural areas. Since the IRA cease-fire began in the 1990s, its influence expanded a lot, and SDLP voters from the traditional to get a lot of new supporters. The experience of its participation in the government that it lost some extreme cusp of revolution, it is generally in the European Parliament and the European Left / Nordic Green Left United Front connected, but not a member of the Front. SDLP is a standard name, Social Democratic Party, which is the European Socialist Party and a member of the Socialist International. But Northern Ireland's political parties are generally not based on social class and economic class classification, so it is a multi-voters, it also has a middle-class voters. SDLP merger of Ireland, but against the use of force. SDLP over the past decade lost many supporters. There tend to be more party Sinn Fein, the nationalist factions and ethnic factions to give up the struggle. In the federal camp similar trend, more extreme DUP in the past period of time is more than the more traditional UUP prevail. UUP is a super-class mass party, from its establishment until 1972 it was the ruling party in Northern Ireland. DUP from the 1970s to establish the beginning of its main supporters are middle class. UUP members in the European Parliament is the European People's Party. DUP members of the very complex, it has both supporters of rural piety has no religious city workers supporters. In abortion, the death penalty, the European Union and women's rights issues such as it is right, in its issue of gay rights seems to be more open-minded. DUP politics generally tend to help its workers and rural voters, such as the elderly free travel, the European Union on agricultural subsidies. DUP get a lot of support in recent years, it is the only major opposition party Friday peace agreement. In the European Parliament of its members do not belong to any groups, but closer to democracy and pluralism in Europe. Overall, the Northern Ireland peace process since its inception, more extreme Sinn Fein and the DUP has developed quite rapidly. But there are also more optimistic believe that Northern Ireland in the European Union will become increasingly important the issue of independence.
