my default reaction would be good, but I will hold onto that until her replacement is announced

I wouldn't lose any sleep if the whole DUP were gone.
I've no time for the DUP full stop.

Whoever takes over from her, will be likely as bad as leader.

Unfortunately with a party like that, it's like getting rid of a cold sore. They'll always be another one waiting in the wings.

She's apparently going to quit the whole DUP party once she steps down as First Minister.

Took her long enough to see how bad her Party is.

I cannot bear this undemocratic party.
However I'm pleased Jeffrey Donaldson didn't get it.

Poots is a young earth creationist and rejects the theory of evolution

Poots faced criticism for banning blood donations from gay people

In September 2013, as Health Minister for Northern Ireland, he fought the ruling that
would bring laws around LGBT adoption in Northern Ireland

DUP leader Edwin Poots resigns amid internal party revolt

[Edwin Poots has resigned as leader of DUP
after just 21 days in the job.
It came after he agreed a deal with Sinn Fein
and the Westminster government to ensure Paul Givan
became Northern Ireland's first minister.


A majority of DUP members in the assembly wanted
to delay the process and he faced an
internal revolt at a party meeting.

Mr Poots, who took over from Arlene Foster in May,
narrowly defeated Sir Jeffrey Donaldson in a leadership vote.

Earlier on Thursday, Paul Givan was nominated
as the new first minister at Stormont while
Sinn Féin's Michelle O'Neill returned as deputy first minister.]
