The real question is who does this incompetent arrogant woman ever really consider anyway.

Although it irks me massively the DUP have any main influence at all, it's a mystery to me why these political dinosaurs get the support they do in Northern Ireland.

Is it really a mystery to you? What choice to many have? It's either the staunch religious DUP or Sinn Fein, the political party of the IRA.
The likes of the moderate SDLP, OU's or Alliance don't even get a look in any more. A vote for any of them is a lost vote now. It's a fight between 2 obnoxious parties, and it's all we have at present.
If Sinn Fein got a larger majority than the DUP, then a United Ireland beckons ever closer in the minds of those who oppose it, and Sinn Fein, the party who supported those who killed thousands of innocents would have a majority and their leader would become First Minister. So to stop that happening, the only option for the Loyalists is to vote DUP, like them or not.
To many it is preferable to vote for a dinosuar party to one that is the official party of those who tried to bomb, kill and maim their way to a United Ireland that the majority didn't want - and the South themselves didn't want.
The mess continues....
