About almost a year late to posting this, but with the DUP recently in the news the question comes up; what if the Tories slipped up a little in 2015 and ended up just short of a majority? The obvious option would be to form a confidence and supply agreement with the Democratic Unionists. IOTL, plans were drawn up in case of Cameron losing the majority later in the parliament, but here he's going in without it. The circumstances behind this deal compared to IOTL's are also radically different, as there is no Brexit, no collapse of powersharing, no Corbyn, no Arlene Foster, etc.
So how does politics continue on with a Tory-DUP pact two years earlier?
