It now looks like the Tories will be in some sort of “kinda-sorta” coalition, and given that they refuse to deal with the Scottish National Party (SNP), and the Liberal Dems (LDP, or slightly silly party in Monty Python speak) is refusing a coalition with them because of what happened the last time, (nearly destroyed the party).
This means that only the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) can give them a put them over the half way mark.
So, what do we know about the DUP?
Here goes:
- Virulently opposed to same sex marriage.
- Virulently opposed to abortion including prosecution of women why buy morning after pills.
- Opposed to birth control.
- Deny anthropogenic climate change.
- Was founded by Ian Paisley.
- Has campaigned against legalizing homosexuality.
So, do you understand why the party’s initials are pronounced, “Derp”?
