James Craig, John Andrews, and Basil Brooke (Lord Brookeborough) were the only three individuals to serve as Prime Minister of Northern Ireland between 1921 and 1963, reflecting the high degree of stability of the Stormont regime. The Ulster Protestant political elite was organically linked with the Order, from which it had built its stock of political capital and learned its communal traditions. Hence Craig remarked in 1934, ’I am an Orangeman first and a politician .afterwards. ‘ After leading Northern Ireland, Andrews captained the Order as Grand Master from 1948 until 1954, and Brookeborough served as Fermanagh County Grand Master.
