Sinn Fein may be convinced to supply confidence.

why on earth would sinn fein break their 100 year old tradition of refusing to enter parliament (the swearing an oath to the queen thing) in order to vote in favour of a Conservative government?

I think what he means to say is since the Sinn Fein MP's would not take their seats, 324 would be enough for the government to survive in the event of a confidence vote.

Indeed. Effectively, they would just need to be convinced to not enter Parliament.

but they don't anyway?
