      That depends on how deep their principles run. They're fairly closely aligned with the Tories anyway which made the previous deal easier. One with Corbyn would require a lot more cash (at least), but having them supporting a PM whom supports a united Ireland would be pretty unlikely.

        I noticed that too. Plus he's finally fessed up that he's responsible for the mess that is Brexit. He also said he doesn't want a hard no deal Brexit .... so he won't be supported by the scum ERG

          Labour will fund it via 10% DUP tax on “high earners”

            There will be a vote to block moving the vote
            SNP says it will work with ERG and labour in a vote of no confidence
            Corbyn gets ready to be PM (Will need a coalition with everybody including his old IRA buddies from Sinn Fein to pick up their seats to get anywhere near a majority)
            ehh, they don't turn up, never have, never will.

              The reason why Sinn Fein won't take there seats is because MPs have to swear elegance to the Queen. The workaround would be for them to cross there fingers like Catholics do.

                That is only part of it. They stood on an abstentionist platform, and they intend to honour that commitment. They are playing a 100+ years strategic game, and they're not going to participate in Westminster for something as small as this.
