The Bad Friday Agreement

Genuine question, shouldn't we, the people of Britain, have a say in who Theresa May and the Tory party, jump into bed with?

Throughout the election campaign, the Tories and MSM banged on about Jeremy Corbyn and his links to Sinn Féin and the IRA.
It now seems it's OK to be a terrorist sympathiser as long as they're the right kind of terrorists.

Jon Snow (the one who does know things) tweeted "One of the most extreme political entities in the British Isles, the 8 MPs of the DUP,  is to wag the tail of Mrs May's minority Government" - @jonsnowc4

We are already looking over one shoulder due to so called "Muslim extremists", now we have to look over our other shoulder cos the Irish Republicans are probably and genuinely going to be angered by this alliance.

The Good Friday agreement of 1998 has probably been replaced with the Bad Friday agreement of 2017.
The British Government are and should remain neutral in Northern Ireland  as stated by Tony Blair's Chief of Staff in this interview...

The DUP's views on things not terror related such as same sex marriage, abortion and even evolution are archaic. I think if they were able to stand for election in the rest of the UK, they would go the same way as UKIP...or the Monster Raving Loony Party.

If we thought the Tories were bad, it seems the DUP are worse and this pact between the two won't end well. Just as long as it ends!

Theresa May should step down

Surely even Tory MP's can see Theresa May isn't strong enough to lead their party, never mind the Country.
She was an unelected Prime Minister calling a general election (even though she said she wouldn't) when the Labour Party were at their weakest in a long time, due to constant in-house fighting.
Despite this they still managed to gain seats and she got more than one egg on her face when the Tories lost seats. "Weak and wobbly" is something I've read lots of times to counter the Tory mantra of "Strong and stable" due to her constant backtracking of their own manifesto.

Not for the first time in recent history has the Tory party had to rely on a smaller party to prop them up.
I just hope the DUP are as passionate about saving our NHS as the Labour Party.

Labour needs to be ready for the next election.
More time needs to be spent on party politics and less time on division within the ranks.

No matter what deals are done now between the Tories and DUP, Theresa May should do the first decent thing and step down.

Good luck everyone with whatever they decide to throw at us now 😔
