Free Presbyterians represent about 0.8% of the population in the North, but account for around a third membership of the DUP. Id imagine these antics would seem strange to the average DUP voter alright, but its unlikely to stop them voting for them.

The Free Ps are not the only ones who believe that sort of stuff. Other Presbyterians, Baptists, various smaller denominations and the "non-denominational" churches are like that to some degree.

Yeah that's true. I'm merely alluding to the point that the vast majority of DUP voters will not be crack pot bible thumpers. Though this aspect doesn't seem to do them any harm politically. I would imagine that it would have a serious impact on the nationalist side though.

Most secular protestants are heavily influenced by Born Again Christians, even though they don't believe themselves or are not saved they give a lot of respect and creedance to those that are. This informs how they vote in my opinion, hence the DUP's mandate.

Or like the working class in England who consistently vote for the Conservatives and their public school educated leaders as they are born and reared to lead when they're actually far from it.

The "public school"/Oxbridge thing applies to Labour and conservatives

I would love to see the bill for the 12th. Can't afford policing but spend millions on that.

Jonny throwing the SPAD's under the bus and not Arlene or any of the head honcho's.

Big balls I might add..

The ineptitude and deceit is staggering.

SF pressure DUP into issues they know they're against, so to prove NI doesn't work. Let's move to a UI.

DUP do likewise to prove SF and Nationalists won't accommodate them in a future UI. Let's stay in the UK.

If you do vote, you're helping to keep this circus rolling.

Only if you vote for SF or the DUP. People love to give out but won't change their vote. Only one way to end this gravy train and that is to vote them out.
