Ulster's unionists to hold sway?
On current projections, the Democratic Unionists' 10 seats would take the Conservatives over the winning line, writes Matt Singh, the FT's election analyst.

This would not be the first time that a unionist party from Northern Ireland has provided a Westminster government with its majority — James Callaghan's Labour minority administrator in the late 1970s relied on the support of the Ulster Unionist Party, as John Major after his Tory government lost its majority in 1996.

However it would be the first such situation of its type for the DUP since the party founded by the late Ian Paisley became the main unionist party in Northern Ireland. There will be a lot of focus on Nigel Dodds (below), the DUP's leader in Westminster and the party's deputy leader, in the next few days.
