In the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) has agreed to support Prime Minister Theresa May's minority government on an informal basis in Parliament. The DUP has agreed to support the government on a confidence and supply basis, but will not be a formal coalition partner.<br/> May failed to win a majority in the British Parliament in an election on Thursday. A deal with the DUP and their 10 lawmakers would give Theresa May a workable majority.<br/>It may be recalled that after her two closest advisers, Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill resigned, May said that she intends to stay as Prime Minister despite failing to win a Conservative majority in the election. The Tories needed 326 seats for a win but fell short of eight seats.
