Are the DUP those people who were prancing around the last general election offering support for any party that would commit hugely disproportionate investment to their own constituencies? I distinctly remember Andrew Neil cutting them off in an interview because they were basically holding the government to ransom for about 3 seats.
No they don't.
Looser lending arrangements apply across the country, not just in the south, and the lack of housing stock is not a policy, it's a result of the fact we're a small island with a lot of people living here and the south being popular, and strict rules about not building on green sites etc. To claim that disproportionately high rises in property prices in the south are down to government policy is mad.
It's not exactly difficult to tax income, since we do it already. The problem with taxing property is that it doesn't tax the wealthiest, it taxes those in the south.

This parody account of old-skool online trolling is coming along nicely. But then I do like a bit of retro.
Funnily enough, I was just thinking what a proper shìt parody account it is. Neither funny nor believable, sadly.

They could end up with 8 or 9 seats , the price to pay is roughly an extra £1Bn in "investment funding" diverted to Northern Ireland as a thank you from the Tories.

It's just not right. Like a smaller version of the SNP. Why should they get more than they raise in taxes?
Shirley hilarious satire! not trolling. Trolling is making a crass insensitive comment about a disaster, such as Brighton losing.
That sounds like a distinct bargain!
That's because you are a tw.t
Oh my sides.
I expect you are probably taken in at Boris's attempts to be humorous Sheepster.

Its only a prediction of what they think the outcome will be based on all the polls which change on a daily basis. Its all down to who wins the scaremongering campaign , the voters have a choice of Labour and Sturgeon or Conservatives and Farage.
UKIP are only likely to get 1-3 seats - they are an irrelevance, SNP could have 50+ and a really significant say in any coalitions/s&c deals etc...
They will probably find space for this one...
YouGov/Sun poll (27th April):
CON 35% (+2)
LAB 34% (-)
UKIP 12% (-2)
LDEM 9% (+1)
GRN 5% (-)

They will be propping up the Tories , the DUP will take their 30 pieces of silver but UKIP will end up with their holy grail , an earlier than planned referendum on BREXIT

Just like PC asking for the same amount of funding for supporting a Labour Government? Although they are likely to only get as many seats as UKIP .
In relation to your post above - the Tories won't need UKIP support, it wouldn't make sense. UKIP are only got to win max. 5-7 seats, if the Tories were only short of a majority by that much then they would form a minority Governemnt.
Er, no. If they win 1 seat they are going to be as influential on government policy as the Greens are.
