don't understand how where T Mays party want to stay in government there can use taxpayers money to encourage another party to join them by offering monnies which should have been available anyway . what would have happened to the money if they had had enough seats ? that's the way it works I presume

Gee it takes some interpretation to understand the question.

Most party's want to stay in power, The Tories can do so without any deals, but it is in the interest of the country to be able to govern not risk having legislation slung out every now and again.

The money isn't just being offered, it is to pay for things that are desired in society, the society that pays in to the public purse. The way you state it is seems to imply that the government is just slinging it the DUP way for their own benefit.

If there had been enough seats then the desires of the DUP would have taken more of a back seat, they now have the ability to ask for their priorities to be considered. It's an example of having power.
I honestly have no clue what you are trying to get at, apart from it appears an anti Tory rant.

Why post this in News?
Weecalf, I read somewhere that the DUP party are demanding the Tories spend 2 billion £, on Northern Ireland, as part of the merger deal, and thats just for starters. Taxpayers money.
The DUP have stated that 'there will be a price to be paid' for their support. It looks like that price will be an extra £billion for NI.
That is money that now will not be available for the rest of the UK.
The alternative is that the Tory government falls and Labour win the next election.
The DUP have 'asked' for 2Bn to fund the NHS and infrastructure. As far as I can see the Tories have not agreed. So no tax payer money 'wasted'

Interesting you think money to the NHS is a waste of tax payers money.
Question"Why post this in news" Answer , because it is news!.
It's developed into News, but the OP was rather ambiguous and not linked to any article or News story so its a reasonable thing to ask.
There is no merger. And whatever is agreed it is taxpayers money spend on taxpayers improvements to society. For sure it is likely to benefit NI most but an agreement for a massive amount will not be reached.

And there is no certainty that Labour will win the next election. As long as the Tories don't continue making public gaffs (but accept that many of the public want their hand held and emotion shown even if it isn't governing) then the public is more likely to realise what a mess they made producing a hung parliament last time, and return to vote in larger number for the only party making the right noises over Brexit.
YMB,"it is common practice to offer a link in the news section" but not compulsory!.

Can't do links anyway but my thought was T May is gonna find money for these causes not to keep the totes in power then .
Correct Gulliver but it does help clarify, particularly if the question is a little ambiguous, which is easy to do - I have done it myself.
Wonder where the Cons have got this money tree hidden?.
