At worst the time limit might be reduced, which may not be a bad thing. Six months is very late. A child is viable at that point and I can see few reasons why someone would leave it that late.

Do you like the DUP?

Didn't even know who they were until yesterday - so please don't resort to all that 'hard right' garbage. They are a necessity at this time end of.

On the other hand Corbyn's dodgy links with terrorists span decades.

Your Jeremy Corbyn accusations hold no weight when you are keen to ignore May's selling of weapons to the middle east. Utterly hypocritical.

I think the selling weapons to the Saudis thing gets more attention than it's worth. What would happen if we stopped:
- We'd be down a fair bit of money
- We'd have even more reason to be in the bad books of people who fund terror
- They would just buy weapons from someone else anyway
I don't think the above is worth it just to moralise.

Aligning yourself with the DUP to save your own hide is not a necessity

FWIW, "people opposed to the DUP" is just people with morals and common sense

And Corbyn wouldn't. If not them Sinn Fein. He would have alligned with anyone if it had made him PM. Let's not try to suggest he is any more moral than you would have us believe May is. When it comes to winning they are all the same.

Any party aligning with the extreme and uncompromising DUP are wrong in my view.

This Party helps keep ashes of the troubles in Northern Ireland recalled.
They moan the orange marchers cannot get to March down some Catholic areas, which denies them their near 'baiting' activities.

I detest the DUP, they are a rigid dinosaur parry stuck in some belief of religious hardline attitudes and intolerance.

Let them vote in the UK parliament by all means when democratically elected.
However make any even thin-film deal with them to guarantee support for a govts policies.
It's pathetic the oldest party of govt in the UK has to be in any way whatsoever going cap in hand to the DUP is a disgrace.

Losing her majority,Mrs May should have engaged in consensus politics with all other Parties in parliament.
Her request for to be made stronger by voters has been rejected by voters.
That's what she should take from this election,not bring in one of the more extreme parties to aid her.

I wish they would take their seats too but I do also admire Sinn Féin for their stance as to the UK parliament.
How great it would be if they were to take their 7 seats at Westminster too and in one swoop remove any great influence the DUP may have at all.

The fact they call themselves "Democratic" is by far the most ludicrous thing amount them. They actively ignore and work against the majority of their constituents and even the other parties in NI by blocking things like gay marriage. The views of the country matter only if they agree with their fundamentalist Christian views, it's sickening and laughable, and people only vote for them as they fear losing NI's place in the UK.

I was just asking! They are necessary, its the only way to get a majority in government. But I'd imagine torys and labour supporters alike hate this.

Yes, it only seems to be a popular idea with a select few Tory voters, and only people on forums too...unless of course, more do actually support this coalition but don't dare say because...well...its not a good thing to out yourself as anti-gay and anti-women among other things is it . So many people I know who voted Tory are horrified. First they had the shock of not getting a majority when it was predicted May would walk it easily, and then they find out about the DUP. Even the most hardcore of Tory voters that I know think its a terrible idea.

I was arguing with a gay friend of mine yesterday about this, he always blindly supports everything May does..he wouldn't believe me about the DUP stance on gay rights. Then sky news mentioned it and all of a sudden he decided to check for himself, and now he is also against it. Its rather amusing watching him try to declare his love for May whilst denouncing the DUP and pretty much tying himself in knots
