| ARTICLES RELATED TO Larne Gun Running | | | |  Larne Gun Running: Encyclopedia II - Northern Ireland - Demographics and politicsA majority of the present-day population (59%, according to a 2004 survey) wish to remain part of the United Kingdom, but a significant minority (22%) want to see a united Ireland. It is common to refer to the majority "community" as Unionists and the minority "community" as Nationalists, though there are many who hold a position on the border that is at odds with the label of their "community" or reject these labels completely.

| | | | | Larne Gun Running: Encyclopedia II - Orange Order - The Twelfth The Twelfth however remains a deeply divisive issue, not least because of allegations of triumphalism and anti-Catholicism against the Orange Order in the conduct of its marches and criticism of its behaviour towards Roman Catholics.

However at a few flashpoints, marches have become highly controversial. ...

| | | | | Larne Gun Running: Encyclopedia II - Orange Order - Political links Until March 2005, the Orange Order was entitled to a voting bloc on the Ulster Unionist Council, the decision-making body of the Ulster Unionist Party. This was the position since 1905, and though the UUP had long mulled over breaking the link, in the end it was the Orange Order that broke away.

These degrees can superficially be compared as Masonic-like but in reality are interactive "plays" founded solely on passages of the Bible. Parades form a large part of Orange culture. Most Orange Lod ...
