The DUP are running out of time to collapse power sharing. If they leave it too late, nobody will take notice.

It will be tokenism at this stage. Salvation for them now is their friends in the UDA/UVF helping them. Although by all accounts most of their factions  are working for a well known Dublin multinational.

Buying drugs imported by that well known multinational and working for are two entirely different things.

Worth reading. A Sunday Times account of Bloody Sunday. A lot of information gathered by residents of Bogside and those involved in the march. It was never published by the Sunday Times and was thought to be lost until it was found in a library in Hull University.

Yawn - another Catholic sob story from the North - not interested - was the response from MSM press offices in Southern Ireland according to some journalists.

When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

This will not end well. DUP tearing itself apart whilst once again doing dirty deals with the Tories. They will end up under the bus as per usual.

If we are working on the assumption that the DUP don't fair well in the upcoming assembly elections, where do we see the Unionist vote going: Will the DUP, UPP and TUV end up splitting the vote?

Most opinion polls suggest so but who knows. DUP probably still the largest unionist party but all present indications are that Sinn Fein will top the poll, thus making Michelle O'Neill the First Minister. Might be too much for Sir Jeffrey to stomach.

The DUP just won't do compromise never mind any drastic changes. They have had their foot on the throat of nationalists/catholics for years and they don't like being in any other position. 
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Their hope of stealing the headlines for a few days was short lived after boris' closest aides resigned this evening.

Imagine being a unionist.  They have zero politicians who are any way progressive or offer good leadership that doesn't resort to the Ian Paisleyesque 1980s charicature.  They have zero interest in making the north a better place to live for everyone and their sole purpose is desperately trying to retain the PUV dominance and keeping them'uns suppressed.  They have the paranoia ''give an inch and them nationalists will take a mile''.

What a basket case of a place.

if the dup refuse to engage in the assembly assuming sf have most seats, do the uup (if 2nd highest unionist designated party) automatically get next shot at filling 2nd minister position and filling the executive?

The assembly has a single transferable system which makes the caculus very interesting.
