I don’t know enough about Irish politics but given the fact that Northern Island voted by a large margin to remain in Europe I would presume they’d face being wiped out in future elections.

They took a £1 billion bribe for “confidence and supply” so going on past form it’ll be a bung on this occasion that will get them to sign up and then skulk off sulking.
The business community and farming community are very loud in their support for a deal......and that is a big area of support for DUP.....but the voting dynamics in the general election could be very different, depending on how they react to this proposed new deal....They are at their peak of power...but it may not last.
Politics on the ground is changing rapidly and many on both sides of the communities are not at all impressed that the Stormont Assembly has not been sitting for over two years now....
