The idea of a Sinn Fein/Labour coalition just isn't likely at any point but if the damn near impossible were to happen then, yes, I'd oppose them just like I would the Tory/DUP deal because I'm not a hypocrite.

I appreciate an honest answer.

I think many feel that from a tory, politician and voter, point of view this country would be better off with a Tory/DUP alliance than a Labour government under Corbyn - that is not about being a terrorist sympathiser but about thinking about the lesser of two 'evils'.

The DUP support the tories they don't make all the decisions. I for one feel safer with them than I do with Corbyn in charge. It is not beyond the bounds of possibility that I could have been a Labour voter this time around with a different leader and depending on their manifesto promises on several issues - but definitely not under Corbyn. I simply don't trust him on several issues - but mainly on security and immigration, which in my view are related.
