May Steele
May Steele is a unionist politician in Northern Ireland.
Living in Larne, Steele joined the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) in the 1950s, and became active in County Antrim. She was close to Vanguard Unionist Progressive Party leader William Craig, but remained a member of the UUP.〔Andrew Brown, "(Backing Trimble against the grain )", ''The Guardian'', 27 November 1999〕
At the Northern Ireland local elections, 1993 and 1997, Steele stood unsuccessfully for the UUP on Larne Borough Council.〔"(Larne Borough Council Elections 1993-2011 )", Northern Ireland Elections〕 She also stood in the Northern Ireland Forum election in East Antrim and was elected, although she lost her seat at the Northern Ireland Assembly election, 1998.〔"(East Antrim )", Northern Ireland Elections〕 Despite this loss, and a reputation as a hardliner, she remained a prominent supporter of party leader David Trimble, and called for support of the Good Friday Agreement.〔
Following her defeat, Steele devoted much of her time to the Ulster Women's Unionist Council, becoming Chairman of the organisation.〔Rebecca Black, "(UWUC celebrates a centenary of service )", ''Motherwell Times'', 24 January 2011〕 In the 1998 Birthday Honours, she received the MBE.〔"(Queen's Birthday Honours )", ''Belfast Telegraph'', 13 June 1998〕
