In British politics, the Conservative Party and the Democratic Unionist Party have a working arrangement. The two parties entered informal arrangements in 2016, in order to increase the majority for the Conservative government.[1]

After the 2017 snap election, the Conservative Party fell short of a majority. The DUP has suggested it would be able to provide a coalition or confidence and supply arrangement depending on negotiations.[2] The party had offered an offer of support to both the Labour and Conservative parties prior to the 2015 General Election.[3]
