Thompson Donald (1876-1957) was a Northern Irish Unionist politician. Donald was elected to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom in the 1918 general election for the Belfast Victoria constituency and served as MP until the constituency's abolition in 1922.〔(Mr Thompson Donald )〕 Donald was elected as one of the so-called 'Labour Unionists' of the Ulster Unionist Labour Association.〔(The Irish Election of 1918 )〕 He was secretary of this group although as an MP for both Belfast Victoria and Belfast East in the Parliament of Northern Ireland (1921-1925) he was effectively an Ulster Unionist Party representative.〔(Biographies of Members of the Northern Ireland House of Commons )〕 == Anti-Home Rule campaign == Donald was born in Islandmagee, County Antrim.〔Ordnance Survey "Memoirs of Ireland: Parishes of County Antrim III 1833, 1835, 1839-40" Larne and Islandmagee, pages 14 - 105. The Institute of Irish Studies QUB 1991. ISBN 0 85389 389 6.〕 He left Islandmagee and became a shipwright in Belfast, employed by ship builders Messrs Workman & Clark. Donald became involved in trade unionism and was district secretary of the shipwrights union for several years until he was promoted to chief assistant foreman in 1912, at which point he retired from trade union activities. Politically he was a Unionist and was opposed to Home Rule. As part of the Ulster Covenant campaign against Home Rule the ''Northern Whig'' for Saturday, 25 April 1914 carried an "Appeal to British Trade Unionists to help resist Home Rule" signed by, amongst others, "Thompson Donald, Trade Union Congress delegate 1909 and 1911 – Shipwrights and Ship Constructors Society".〔''Northern Whig'', Belfast: 25 April 1914〕 Further appeals to trade unionists were issued in subsequent editions of the paper.〔''Northern Whig'', Belfast: 28 April 1914〕〔''Northern Whig'', Belfast: 30 April 1914〕 He played a leading role in the formation of the Trades Union Watch Committee, which became the Unionist Watch Committee and then finally in July 1918 was renamed as the Ulster Unionist Labour Association (UULA).〔Austen Morgan, ''Labour and Partition: The Belfast Working Class 1905-1923'', Pluto Press 1991. ISBN 0 7453 0326 9.〕 Donald was appointed an Honorary Secretary of this new group, which was organised by Edward Carson.〔''Belfast Newsletter'': 15 July 1918〕
