The DUP's threats toward the Government over Brexit is just
another chapter in their toxic relationship with the Conservative Party. Ever since the signing of the Ulster Covenant
the Tories have been wedded to unionists to the detriment of the country. Back then the Conservatives supported the
unionists even when they took arms from the Germans to defy Home Rule. The Troubles were sparked by the violent
Unionist reaction to Nationalists wanting basic rights.
The best way
Theresa May can respond to the DUP's threats is to call their bluff and rule by
minority. They need her more than she
needs them. And in any case, they have
always been more trouble than they are worth.
