That's because NI is totally irrelevant to the British parliament. Only in very rare cases can the DUP prop up a Tory government. Sinn Fein/IRA don't take up their seats.

PaulC Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Who is bothered about 16 seats to reform. Labour will have such a massive majority they can do what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's a bit concerning - I'd hoped the Greens would outpoint them, but it seems there are more racist arseholes than well meaning softies in the UK.

Mark Albrighton Posted July 4 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4 Oh Hannah Fry is on the channel four coverage. That goes some way of undoing the damage of Widdy and Dorries being there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 9 minutes ago, The Fun Factory said: It will be all about the economy. If Labour can achieve real 'growth' in the next five years (though seemingly w/o entering the single market) and keep this seemingly informal alliance with the libdems whilst the tories eat themselves in opposition, they should be re-elected. Should. They can play the blame game for the first term on the economy , the only thing stopping them getting a second term will be if Starmer is found snorting cocaine of a hookers arse .. and even then I think he’d still get reelected , there isn’t any current Tory in the ranks that is going to galvanise them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I still don't quite understand how the Lib Dems are looking to get 60 odd seats on a vote which is probably about half of their glory years under Kennedy and 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
