Cecil Harvey (died 1985[1]) was a Northern Irish unionist politician and Church elder.
[4] He became disillusioned with the UUP as it came to support the idea of power-sharing, and joined the rival Vanguard Unionist Progressive Party.
[6] In 1974, Harvey argued for the Orange Order to pay compensation to loyalists interned around the Ulster Workers' Council strike.
[3] By 1975, Harvey was calling for the Order to found an entirely new united unionist party; this was moved by Robert Overend but was defeated.
He then joined the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP),[4] for which he stood unsuccessfully in South Down at the 1983 general election.
