Like does the DUP have members who are in the UDA? Aye probably. Probably joined up in the mid-2000s

Are those guys at the party top table? Nah.

What aspects of the Brexit deal have to pass through parliament? Are there going to be votes on individual parts of it (one for trade, one for immigration, one for the leaving bill, for example) or is it that the Tories go and negotiate everything, then take the whole thing back to Parliament and try to pass it?

Those are the 13 Labour MPs who stood down, only one of those seats was lost by their replacement. There were 5 other Labour losses, and 35 gains, which means Corbyn has 47 (possibly 48 if Kensington goes red) new voices to back him

There's no plan yet.

Their original plan with a majority was "whatever the gently caress we want even if it's no deal because you can't stop us", no voting or debating involved.

No. The UDP was the political wing of the UDA and was replaced with the UPRG which has been controversial for receiving government funding for its community activities

The DUP dicked around with the Third Force, which where largely farmers with no guns who wanted to wear fatigues, and the Ulster Resistance which tried to be an umbrella group for Loyalism but the parry broke ties with it after the government busted a scheme they where involved in to sell stolen missle plans to the south African government for arms

The UPRG support the DUP: http://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/dallat-slams-dup-for-its-uprg-stance-1-6998361

I mean I guess one way to make Corbyn's relationship with the IRA relevant again is by reigniting the troubles.

SF are not considered the good guys by anyone but SF supporters. SDLP are dead in the water, due to fundamentalist Catholic social policies and seeming irrelevance.

Alliance are perfectly middle of the road and have the most excellent leader in the formidable Naomi Long. I really wish Naomi was First Minister but that is highly unlikely for the foreseeable.

SDLP/Alliance are meant to be the neutral parties, they should be the top 2 imo.
But they have fallen as the people in NI are gettting dumber and dumber each generation now with the brain drain that is going on.
