Professor Jennifer Todd:

I think that the DUP and Sinn Féin have an interest in maintaining agreement and co-operation, because if they do not they will be outflanked, on the one hand by the Traditional Unionist Voice and on the other by the dissidents. They have to maintain co-operation. On the other hand, they are in a situation of having to also please their constituents. Most constituents are not yet thinking in terms of the EU and so neither are the DUP and Sinn Féin. In regard to whether the DUP will enter into coalition with the Conservatives before they consider the consequences, the answer is "Yes, probably; almost certainly." The consequences will become clear but not immediately.
