The United Party (sometimes referred to as the BVI United Party) (or UP) is a now defunct political party of the British Virgin Islands. It was originally formed by Conrad Maduro, H. Lavity Stoutt, Terrance B. Lettsome and Ivan Dawson during the first session of the Legislative Council of the British Virgin Islands under the new constitution in 1967 subsequent to the general election on 14 April 1967. Although Conrad Maduro was the President of the party, he did not win his seat at the 1967 general election, and so it was agreed that Lavity Stoutt would be appointed Chief Minister. Leading up to the 1971 general election Lavity Stoutt and Terrance Lettsome left the party to form the Virgin Islands Party, presumably for the ostensible reason of Stoutt seeking to remain as Chief Minister if

| - Le Parti Uni ((en): United Party) (UP) est un ancien parti des Îles Vierges britanniques fondé en 1967 par Hamilton Lavity Stoutt, premier Ministre en chef des Îles Vierges britanniques. Il est créé par , Hamilton Lavity Stoutt, Terrance B. Lettsome et Ivan Dawson lors de la première session du Conseil législatif des îles Vierges britanniques en vertu de la nouvelle constitution de 1967, à la suite des élections générales du 14 avril 1967. Conrad Maduro était le président du parti, mais comme il ne remporte pas son siège aux élections 1967, il est donc convenu que Lavity Stoutt soit nommé Ministre en Chef. Avant les élections de 1971, Lavity Stoutt et Terrance Lettsome quittent le parti pour former le Parti des îles Vierges, sans doute pour la raison que Stoutt souhaitait rester au poste de ministre en chef même si Maduro remportait son siège aux prochaines élections. Bien que Maduro ait remporté son siège, les élections ont été remportées par le rival, le Parti démocratique des Îles Vierges. En 1975, l'UP revient au pouvoir dans le cadre d'une coalition avec Willard Wheatley jusqu'en 1979. Il le retrouve une dernière fois en novembre 1983 dans le cadre d'une coalition avec Cyril Romney. Cependant, lorsque Cyril Romney quitte son poste de ministre en chef et quitte le parti, celui-ci perd sa majorité absolue et est remplacé par le parti des Îles Vierges. En 1986, il n'a plus que deux députés, dont Ralph T. O'Neal qui en était devenue le leader, mais qui retourne rapidement au parti des Îles Vierges. Son dernier élu au Parlement des Îles Vierges, fut Conrad Maduro de 1995 à 1999. Depuis, l'UP a disparu du champ politique.

- The United Party (sometimes referred to as the BVI United Party) (or UP) is a now defunct political party of the British Virgin Islands. It was originally formed by Conrad Maduro, H. Lavity Stoutt, Terrance B. Lettsome and Ivan Dawson during the first session of the Legislative Council of the British Virgin Islands under the new constitution in 1967 subsequent to the general election on 14 April 1967. Although Conrad Maduro was the President of the party, he did not win his seat at the 1967 general election, and so it was agreed that Lavity Stoutt would be appointed Chief Minister. Leading up to the 1971 general election Lavity Stoutt and Terrance Lettsome left the party to form the Virgin Islands Party, presumably for the ostensible reason of Stoutt seeking to remain as Chief Minister if Maduro should win his seat at the next election. Although Maduro did win his seat, the election was won by the rival VI Democratic Party. The United Party held power three times in the Territory. Firstly, from its formation in 1967 until 1971. In 1975 it regained power as part of a coalition with Willard Wheatley until 1979. It regained power for the final time in November 1983 as part of a coalition with Cyril Romney. However, when Cyril Romney stepped down as Chief Minister and left the party, the party lost its overall majority and was replaced by the Virgin Islands Party, and never again emerged subsequently as a major political force. The last election in which the United Party won a seat was the 1995 general election when Conrad Maduro and Andre Penn were the only candidates to win a seat. Although various candidates ran under the United Party banner in the 1999 general election, none were elected. In the 2003 general election only Conrad Maduro ran for the party (unsuccessfully). Maduro ran again in the 2005 by-election following the death of Paul Wattley (also unsuccessfully), and thereafter the United Party had ceased to function as a political party. (en)
