Boris Johnson is playing with fire in Northern Ireland | Analysis by NicRobertsonCNN
The current general election campaign has led to unprecedented political alliances which could -- by default or design -- reshape the future of the province and its place in the United Kingdom. On Thursday, Northern Ireland, like the rest of the UK, will go to vote in the most important election in modern British history and as many as eight of the province's 18 seats may change hands. In Belfast, London is either loved or loathed, depending which side of the community you sit on.
And two: If Johnson continues to ignore them and gets a majority the party becomes an irrelevance, so they are campaigning on what is essentially a"give us a 'second shot'" ticket.Jim Wells, a veteran DUP politician explains it this way,"Vote us back to Westminster and we will persuade the PM he was wrong." But that only works if Johnson cares -- which is directly tied to whether or not he needs their votes when polls close on December 12.
