[QUOTE="Ashtree, post: 7438285, member: 3254"] Having fudged themselves up on the Brexit referendum, and put NI’s place in the union in peril, they got one major opportunity to recover the situation. Teresa May, was open to keeping Britain in its entirety in the customs union. Labour were largely on side with the idea. Had the DUP been ruthlessly political in the selfish interests of NI, they could have dropped a text to Teresa. They lost the union not once with Brexit, but secondly with their failure to read the political realities and support TM’s customs union inclinations. It’s utterly pointless blaming Dublin. Leo and Simon were utterly ruthless and clever, in their political approach. They pulled every lever possible to protect the interests of ROI and the issue of the border. That’s what they are elected to do. Likewise, no point blaming Boris. An inveterate liar and political con artist, was equally ruthless in pursuit of his political goal. DUP were stupid and naive, I’m afraid. They utterly failed unionism in NI, and for that matter many others.
