Traditional Unionist Voice is a Northern Irish political movement founded on 2007-12-07 as an anti-St Andrews Agreement splinter from the Democratic Unionist Party. Its first chairman is MEP Jim Allister who sits as an independent, having been elected for the Democratic Unionist Party in 2004.^[1]^[2]

The four founding principles of the new movement are

retention of the Union between Northern Ireland and Great Britain
committment to democratic devolution which rejects the mandatory coalition model
that the rule of law must prevail in every part of Northern Ireland and be administered without fear or favour;
supportive of traditional family values.
