The DUP said they would never do a deal with Corbyn,i wonder why

I think its genuinely laughable that other parties moan at the tories using the DUP for support when it was their pig headedness in saying no deal with the tories that pushed the tories down that path.

They each had an opportunity to soften the edges of a tory government and stated they wouldn't under any circumstances prop them up.

It is disingenuous of them now to try and claim some sort of moral superiority

Dead right.
It would be like the Cons doing a deal with the Socialist workers party,impossible.

Not really.
Especially when the Cons have positioned themselves even to being further away from the Lib Dems now too.
On Brexit for instance,miles apart now.

The Greens,Plaid Cymru and the SNP all anti Con policy.

Maybe the Cons need to look at and question why just about all other Parties find them so abhorrent to deal with or support.
Apart from the DUP that is.

The Cons are fortunate in this election only in that the DUP did a little better in N.Ireland and moreso that Sinn Féinn largely replaced the SDLP, who would have taken seats at Westminster had they got MPs elected.

For exactly the same reasons that the SNP, Greens, Plaid etc. would never prop up the Conservatives. Complete political incompatibility.

The Lib Dems foolishly tried to in 2010 and it completely devastated their party.

Is there a reason you're asking this same question in multiple threads? You seem to be trying to make a point that doesn't exist... like "Ooooh the DUP must not trust him!!" or something.

There's no great mystery Kazanne. They wouldn't do a deal with Labour because their policies are incompatible. The same reason that the SNP wouldn't do a deal with the Tories.

I don't understand how Corbyn could rule as he would never be able to get a majority, as Conservatives have like 48 percent, and then the DUP the other 4 percent or so, so he'd always end up with less than what the Conservatives have by themselves even conjoined with all other parties

Who wants to get the Lib Dems treatment by the Media? The DUP are idiots as they'll get all of the blame for what the Tories are doing.

Conservatives polled about 43% whilst Labour got about 38 to 39% of the vote share, just add a few extra seats from other big parties and that percentage goes up.

'Supporters of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) are demanding Theresa May allow a banned loyalist march as part of an agreement by the Northern Irish party to prop up a minority Conservative government.

The Portadown Loyal Orange Lodge (LOL), who are currently prevented from marching in the flashpoint Gavaghy Road following a long history of sectarian violence, put out a statement amid speculation as to what concessions the DUP could demand in return for striking a deal with the Tories.'

How can anyone suggest that aligning with the DUP would not look like condoning terrorism?

It's a flashpoint area,one of several and the pathetic orange order do NOT just want to march down there,they want to deliberately bait and taunt as they do so.

I can see the DUP making some demands on this,tge orange order and lodges are firmly embedded in the DUP.

Major issues are possibly going to be stirred up with any deal with the bigots that are the DUP.
This has to affect not only the other Parties in N Ireland,also though voters in N Ireland, particularly the Catholic residents of whom most must be getting more suspicious by the hour.

This could easily inflame old issues and threaten even for a time, the hard won and longed for peace process.
This stupid PM we have,for her own greed and arrogance who called this unnecessary election,may yet end up creating even greater division across the UK.
Even moreso resurrect the old hate and distrust in N Ireland now too.

I say again however and if I had influence I'd implore them to do so, I wish Sinn Féinn would come to cast their votes at Westminster.
At a stroke that would wipe out most of the advantage gained by the Cons bringing in the DUP,making the votes in Parliament even tighter.
