BBC News - DUP members in 'quit threat' over policing deal

DUP leader Peter Robinson was faced with threats of resignations when he put a proposed justice deal to his assembly team, the BBC understands.

After Monday's meeting, party sources said Mr Robinson was seeking unanimous support for a deal before moving ahead.

It is believed the meeting was stormy, with a secret ballot ending in a 60/40 split in favour of the proposals.

It is now thought talks between the DUP and Sinn Fein could go on until the end of the week.



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

It seems that the DUP cannot bring themselves to abandon their childishs symbols of supremacy. It's almost at the point where you wonder whether they fear peace would make them irrelevant.
