SUMMARY Ex-PM Theresa May did sign a partnership with DUP. May thought she could bring them over to her policies but after a while the partnership got strained. Mrs Foster, DUP, stood up for her voters and their beliefs. After all Northern Ireland is a political situation completely of its own.
May resigned and Boris Johnson was voted PM by his Tories. Since July he made a complete mess of everything and DUP seemed to alienated themselves completely from the Tories.
Update 16 June, 2017 --
Gerry Adams, president of Sinn Fein, came to London to tell PM May that signing a coalition with DUP will be illegal because the British Government was involved in the Good Friday Peace agreement on both sides. The main point in the agreement is that the British Government stays out of it. It had now been violated by May's action to safeguard her job.
PM May must have been aware of the law so why is she determined to defy it? She will be in even greater trouble if she did!

DUP is very
much governed by the Orange Order which is the opposite to the IRA and its Sinn
Fein
The Orange
Order marches down the street with bowler hats and orange sashes. They used to
go into Catholic areas to strike fears and crime into people living there. The
last time a fire bomb was thrown into a house and three little boys died. After
that they were forbidden to go through Catholic areas.
Now, with
Theresa May trying to build a coalition with DUP, the Orange Order already
demanding for the ban to be lifted and by the looks of it, it will be.
Since
Theresa May is so determined to get the Tories back in the House of Commons as
Government the DUP is in full command of getting concessions out of it.
In other
words, Theresa May and Tories could be governed by DUP because if they one
granted they demand another.
Let’s not
underestimate DUP and the Orange Order. They were, under Ref. Ian Paisley, a
very determined lot and surely have not soften much. At this moment, with the
current hung Parliament and Theresa May determination to be Prime Minister again,
they see their full power of bargaining for several demands in their favour.
It is also
assumed that they are asking for £350million, which they will lose when UK quits the EU, to back up the Conservatives.
Another disturbing
fact came from Liverpool on Saturday. Liverpool has a big Irish community and
therefore the Orange Order held a march there. It was weeks before the time
when they hold it usually.
As they
marched down the street they spotted an Irish pub (Republic of Ireland) and it
was attacked. The march before their normal time and the attack does not seem an
accident.
As the
government of the Irish Republic already warned Theresa May that her action
could unhinge the Good Friday Agreement and feuding and killing between the
Protestant and Catholic could start again.
Does May
and her advisers ever think of the consequences or are they only concerned
about their power?
Another rumour started that they want the UK to stop Brexit especially DUP was not for Brexit.
