The DUP thread

[Milltown Row2]

Why would the UUP partner up with the DUP considering they fecking hate each other?

Would it not be a case that the UUP may make a little gain if the DUP and the TUV got at each other again? Add in maybe someone going independent it may change

Nobody has broke cover from within the DUP yet.... Says a lot.

Jeffrey on talkback spoke quote well. Really put his opponents within Unionism in their place without naming names.

That there's more than one spineless cúnt in that party?

Remarkable how the Command Paper is written.  All about doing a deal with the DUP, strengthening NI's place in the Union etc, As one sided as you'll ever see, no surprise I suppose. You'd never guess there's a nationalist First Minister incoming.
SF must be willing to tolerate it all because they want the First Minister prize.  I can understand that.

As I said before, it's all smoke, mirrors and fudge words to get it over the line.

In reality, nothing has changed.

Unionism is in crisis. That is the big picture. One of the reasons the DUP stayed out of Stormont is that the momentum is with the Shinners.

You'd think they'd be delighted their drug shipments will come through without checks.

The reason why the DUP "moved" now , is  to  hang  onto their  seats and big  salaries.  This is all  in their  own interests, nobody else's.

The lack of any criticism from Nationalists would suggest "we" have no particular real issues about the thing.

Does the "Stormont brake" mean Unionists can block any EU Laws being implemented in the 6?

It means they can cry to Westminster about it but they can chose to ignore them

They do hate one another, that hasn't stopped them stepping aside in certain seats in the past. The UUP have a choice if the DUP suggest an election pact - accept it and potentially win a seat, reject it and lose anyway.

Last sting of a dying wasp. Their Union is fucked. And the irony is they are responsible because of their stupidity and outright bigotry in backing Brexit.

Hoping I'm on a road they are trying to block
