Bottom line is she isn’t elected and has been put into a nice earner that gets her £139,000 + expenses. The DUP aren’t going to readily walk away from that.
If the one on the left resigns she loses the Dubloons. The government won’t pay them again. Also, she won’t get elected again.
Prepare for an onslaught from the pro-establishment media down south. They’ll all be at it. It’ll happen as early as tomorrow morning.
That’s not what you should be thinking about. The damage to unionisms next electoral chances has been done. You can twist it around any way you like but it was Unionism that reopened this shite after 28 years.
