from Ulster Unionist Party Rules 2007.
Ulster Unionists believe that standing up for Northern Ireland means securing devolved government for this part of the United Kingdom - and that devolution will secure Northern Ireland's place within a modern United Kingdom.
Ulster Unionists have a vision of a flourishing regional economy in Northern Ireland, built on the strong foundations provided by the UK economy, access to the European single market and political stability in our community. For this vision to become reality, Northern Ireland needs policies capable of facing the challenges of a competitive global marketplace.
The Ulster Unionist Party believes in the need for normal politics in Northern Ireland. It's now time to concentrate on the everyday issues which affect all of us: health, schools, rates and water charges, our environment, jobs and investment, and every other issue that matters to you and your family.
The people of Northern Ireland deserve a clean and healthy environment - an environment in which the quality of our air, land and water are safeguarded, an environment in which we all can take pride. Ulster Unionists want to secure clean air, clean water, clean land and clean energy for Northern Ireland.
The National Health Service and our education system make a real difference to all our lives, contributing in vital ways to the quality of life we experience as individuals, in our families and in our communities. Ulster Unionists are committed to our public services. The investments we as society make in our health service and our schools must secure access to quality healthcare and advice, and quality education - for all of us.
Ulster Unionists are committed to building stronger, safer, fairer communities where all children can flourish, families prosper and the elderly live in dignity and security, free from fear. We believe that by building stronger communities we can make society a better place for all of us.
