Unless they genuinely did trust the tories to have their backs along the way, which once again seems incredibly naive.
I remember seeing one of them (DUPs) late on general election night when May lost her majority. He was interviewed about forming a coalition (or supply and demand, or whatever it was). He seemed fairly unpleasant, hard headed, and very unwilling to commit if his (DUP) demands weren't to be met by May.
Now, from where I'm sitting at least, they just look as foolish as the Lib Dems before them.

It'll be interesting to monitor that's for sure. I do recall seeing stories around NI companies picking up business from UK mainland companies due to NI having a foot in both sides at the moment. (Think this may have been linked upthread already: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-55942076).
The DUPs thought process is a bit baffling to me. The increased 'risk' of unification can't have been worth their pay-packet from the tories. Unless they genuinely did trust the tories to have their backs along the way, which once again seems incredibly naive.
