Sec of State has to remain neutral as they will converse with unionists and republicans in the assembly. could throw that into jeopardy.There was talk it might contravene the Good Friday agreement - is there any truth in it?
There should also be concern that even if it doesn't technically it may well cause issues to rear up in Ireland. Look at the history of Ireland and you'll see what's happened when the serving government has sided with the loyalists. Its not good.There was talk it might contravene the Good Friday agreement - is there any truth in it?
Theresa May is with corrupt or inept
As well as these things they are anti austerity! I really think the only stable thing to do is another election
probably repeating old news but in case people don't know yet;
Two points;
-The DUP can't vote on English laws (due to the EVEL law passed in 2015) this meant the tories only have a majority when it comes to Brexit and the DUP promised a soft Brexit in their manifesto (due to the border with Ireland). This means the tories can't vote through their manifesto without the consent of other parties MPs (and it looks like a lot of their own MPs will vote against anyway).
-if it becomes evident they can't pass bills then there will be a vote of no confidence and there will be another election (hence Boris getting ready to oppose her)
-technically there can't be a coalition with the DUP due to the peace agreement and our promise of neutrality, so there is a "supply of consent"- so the tories are a minority government.
I share this because I want people to carry on their fight for a labour government.
Copied and Pasted!! Original post by Miyamoto Musashi so credit to them.
coalition of chaos with some terrorist sympathisers.
sure dup will demand lots of investment into northern ireland so TM will plant a magic money tree over there.
Yeah, but then what about all their bad policies?I don't think you can form an opinion on the DUP based on past terrorist connections. Although it is right to point out the huge hypocrisy given the way the Tories campaigned against Corbyn. I'm more concerned about what they stand for currently.
Anti abortion, such restricted conditions that a women is allowed an abortion the UN has attempted to intervene
Anti LGBT, they've repeatedly used petitions of concern to block any progress on LGBT rights
Climate change denial
Creationist, they believe creationism should be taught in schools instead of evolution
Want to bring back the death penalty.
Because. ..?EVEL won't stop any laws as described above being passed.
Because. ..?
It's British Law rather than English?
Otherwise, are you doing that thing where you state opinion/speculation as fact?

You know who seems to think so.There was talk it might contravene the Good Friday agreement - is there any truth in it?
This is going to end really well isn't it.You know who seems to think so.
I await the Tory bus saying how much they are giving them emblazoned down the side.coalition of chaos with some terrorist sympathisers.

Come on guys Nelson Mandela was a freedom fighter - what's wrong with allying with freedom fighters.
thing is they didnt go into coalition with them though. It never happened
The spinning is unbelievable. The Conservatives are justifying getting into bed with the DUP on the basis that Labour once considered it but didn't do it.
Which is not what any of the posts are referring to. They are referring to Brown's time as leader.They did do it in the minority 70's government.

And of course if Labour had of approached the DUP or Sinn Fein to persuade them to take their seats and join a coalition you'd have had no issue with it.I know but the fact is they have done, they've tried to again and given Corbyn said after the election this time they'd form a minority government they'd have also approached them this time as well.

It's really a fuss about nothing.
They had 330 seats before and May felt the need to hold an election to get a better majority in order to get everything through.Do you see how this can still work?
