BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND - JUNE 09: DUP leader and Northern Ireland former First Minister Arlene Foster (C) holds a brief press conference with the DUP's newly elected Westminster candidates who stood in the general election on June 9, 2017 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. After a snap election was called by Prime Minister Theresa May the United Kingdom went to the polls yesterday. The closely fought election has failed to return a clear overall majority winner and a hung parliament has been declared. Arlene Foster and the Democratic Unionist party with their ten Westminster seats have today stated that they will back Theresa May and the Conservatives in a prop up goverment. The two parties will continue talks about the finer details of the arrangement. (Photo by Charles McQuillan/Getty Images) Will Theresa May’s Coalition Bring New Troubles to Northern Ireland?
