George Green was a Northern Irish unionist politician.
Green was the chairman of the Ulster Special Constabulary Association (USCA), a group which focussed on opposition to the Irish Republican Army. [1] He was elected to North Down Borough Council in 1973 as an independent loyalist. [2]
At the 1973 Northern Ireland Assembly election, Green stood in North Down for the Vanguard Unionist Progressive Party, but he was not elected. [3] Through his role in the USCA, he was a prominent leader of the Ulster Workers' Council strike, [1] and was able to gain election to the Northern Ireland Constitutional Convention. [3] Soon after, he left Vanguard to join the United Ulster Unionist Party split, [1] but this was collapsing by 1980, and Green instead joined James Kilfedder's Ulster Popular Unionist Party, for which he very narrowly missed being elected to the Northern Ireland Assembly, 1982. [3]
Green left the Popular Unionists, and was re-elected at the 1985 local elections for the Ulster Unionist Party, then in 1989 [4] and 1993 for the Conservatives in Northern Ireland, standing down in 1997. [5]
