Who wants to get the Lib Dems treatment by the Media? The DUP are idiots as they'll get all of the blame for what the Tories are doing.

I don't understand how Corbyn could rule as he would never be able to get a majority, as Conservatives have like 48 percent, and then the DUP the other 4 percent or so, so he'd always end up with less than what the Conservatives have by themselves even conjoined with all other parties

Conservatives polled about 43% whilst Labour got about 38 to 39% of the vote share, just add a few extra seats from other big parties and that percentage goes up.

'Supporters of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) are demanding Theresa May allow a banned loyalist march as part of an agreement by the Northern Irish party to prop up a minority Conservative government.

The Portadown Loyal Orange Lodge (LOL), who are currently prevented from marching in the flashpoint Gavaghy Road following a long history of sectarian violence, put out a statement amid speculation as to what concessions the DUP could demand in return for striking a deal with the Tories.'

How can anyone suggest that aligning with the DUP would not look like condoning terrorism?

Illegal, no. Pointless and inflammatory and therefore of dubious morality? Yes.

It's a flashpoint area,one of several and the pathetic orange order do NOT just want to march down there,they want to deliberately bait and taunt as they do so.

I can see the DUP making some demands on this,tge orange order and lodges are firmly embedded in the DUP.

Major issues are possibly going to be stirred up with any deal with the bigots that are the DUP.
This has to affect not only the other Parties in N Ireland,also though voters in N Ireland, particularly the Catholic residents of whom most must be getting more suspicious by the hour.

This could easily inflame old issues and threaten even for a time, the hard won and longed for peace process.
This stupid PM we have,for her own greed and arrogance who called this unnecessary election,may yet end up creating even greater division across the UK.
Even moreso resurrect the old hate and distrust in N Ireland now too.

I say again however and if I had influence I'd implore them to do so, I wish Sinn Féinn would come to cast their votes at Westminster.
At a stroke that would wipe out most of the advantage gained by the Cons bringing in the DUP,making the votes in Parliament even tighter.

How is that condoning terrorism fgs, that is laughable.

These marches are not for gloryfying terrorism or the troubles..they mark important historical events..they get treated like we would treat our yearly village/town fets/carnival.

You are joking, those ridiculous orange marches are pathetic.
They are used to taunt and bait Catholic resident areas and are very much a put down to the Catholic communities.

It is all well and good celebrating history, however to want to parade pompously down the opposite sides areas is in my view nothing other than provocative.

If they got present no go areas opened up to the orange marches again, it would open up doors that should have been totally sealed ages ago.
