The Dup In Trouble

The headline in that article is misleading, as popularity of Sinn Fein hasn’t “soared”. They’ve just remained more or less steady, while there is a scramble for the minor places:
Sinn Fein 25%
TUV 14%
UUP 14%
DUP 13%
SDLP 13%
Alliance 13%
What’s plainly happened is that the party has haemorrhaged support to either more extreme or moderate parties.
Another casualty of Brexit …

Ignoring the whole Brexit thing, as I can't be bothered going down that route, have you noticed a pattern emerging?
2010: The Lib Dems form a coalition government with Cameron's Tory Party.
2021: Lib Dems no longer a force in UK politics.
2017: The DUP agree to help out May's Tory Party gain a majority government.
2021: DUP seemingly in trouble.
If you deal with the devil and you pay the price it seems.

It was probably a mistake trying to do NI politics on here :-)
What has really affected it is the perception that they haven’t been hard enough on the government over Brexit: slightly unfair probably as the days when the Tories needed them are long gone.
And they’ve never recovered from the fiasco of Arlene Foster’s defenestration, which turned off many more liberal supporters
