Answer

The 2005 general election marked the end of David Trimble's leadership of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP). Trimble's defeat in this election symbolized a significant shift in Northern Irish politics, as Sinn Fein emerged as the largest nationalist party and the moderate UUP lost significant ground. This outcome reflected growing divisions within the unionist community and the changing dynamics of the peace process in Northern Ireland.
