Is Cameron endangering the Northern Ireland peace process?

[Sandy-Wroe]

The Conservatives recently hosted a conference with the leading Unionist parties from Northern Ireland. If they were sounding them out as potential allies in the event of a hung parliament, was that a wise thing to do?
Unionists may be happy to see the NI Assembly fall if they think they'll get a better deal from Cameron. Has Cameron condemned the people of NI to a period of political uncertainty in order to advance his larger political aims?

I don't think they need Cameron to upset the apple cart. Those guys can have bun fight over the colour of the bog roll.

Yeah - not like us reasonable folk in AB :c)

[Whickerman]

He's not sounding them out. The Ulster Unionist Party are wholly aligned to the Tory party, and candidates standing for election in Norn Irn will now be standing for both parties.

The Tory Party's official title is

The Conservative and Unionist Party

Bit of a giveaway which way they lean don't you think?

He also had the DUP at that meeting. They are the party that's in an unhappy marriage with Sinn Fein in the 'Power Sharing' local government.
If the DUP thought they could get substantial changes in the way Stormont works, in return for some formal alliance with Cameron, they might walk away from the power sharing agreement.
That was the point of my question.
