The DUP haven't entered a coalition government, they're supporting a
minority Conservative government

It amounts to the same thing.

Not that it'll last long, anyway, once they come up with their list of
demands for supporting the Tories.

I don't believe that they will come up with an unacceptable list.

They know that trying to impose their nutty vies on abortion etc will
never wash so the only thing that they will want is more money for NI.
There are few general policies where they disagree with the Tories, though
they wont agree with most of the welfare reductions.

And the Torys don't need them to. That can be deferred and its
a lot better to be in govt and to have to defer some stuff like
that than to not be in govt. Even May can work that one out.

In the great scheme of things an extra billion or two a year for NI is
affordable,

Yep, particularly given the saving on what the EU gets.

it just has to be requested/given in a non-partisan way or there will be
trouble.

Not necessarily if the Torys can find
someone else to support them on that.

If it weren't for the fact that it doesn't solve the problems with Brexit
negotiation,

There are no problems that matter.

I could see a Tory/DUP agreement running (almost) to term.

Bet it does, just like the last one did.
