Yes was a ridiculous attempt at a power grab from May (floundering after not getting the majority she was so certain she would get...awww). Should have just went with minority to start with. Aligning themselves with the DUP did them no favours at all and I am positive a lot of Tory members are unhappy with it

No it wasn't, its standard practice and protocol that she has been following. There is a process that is followed when setting up a government, and one thing she shouldn't be criticised for is following that process. The party with the most seats has 30? days to form a government after an election. If she doesn't achieve that then its back to the people and another round of electioneering

Its grim, and May can be criticised for a lot (and rightly so in my opinion) but following due process shouldn't be one of them.

I think people are just questioning her personal, and the tories as a whole, moral integrity when the DUP were even considered. All other parties wouldnt touch them with a 50 foot barge pole.
Im not sure if the coalition isnt going ahead out of a lack of want or a lack of success from the tories, but it does work better for them in the long run imo.
