Theresa May is now counting on his party and its 10 MPs to help prop up her government.
The cruel irony in the recent general election is that, while over 50% of people who voted did so for the more left-wing parties, what they might actually get is a government even more regressive than the one before, including on climate change and the environment.
The DUP
Over 750,000 people signed a petition opposing a deal with the DUP who have a far from progressive record on a range of social issues, including LGBTI rights and abortion. DUP MP Jeffrey Donaldson used to work for racist politician Enoch Powell after he moved to Northern Ireland.
