June 9 (UPI) -- Northern Ireland's Democratic Union Party said it reached a deal with Britain's Conservative Party to keep Prime Minister Theresa May in power.
DUP leaders said talks through the night on Thursday were driven by their desire to keep Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn from becoming prime minister. In Thursday's parliamentary election, the ruling Conservative Party won 318 seats, eight short of a majority; support from the 21 Parliament members of the DUP, regarded as Britain's most socially conservative party, would cement May's status to continue leading Britain's government.
