I'm not sure mate had it on in the background and thought I heard Peston say the DUP wanted a hard Brexit but wanted to retain a soft border with The Republic it's why I asked as some earlier posters were saying the DUP were for staying in the EUWeren't they discussing the suggestion of a special arrangement for NI whereby it remained in the single market after the rest of UK left? Didnt he say that if the rest of the UK opted for a hard brexit that had to cover NI too (albeit with a "soft border").
Exactly. Either May or her advisors decided it was a foregone conclusion that they would win a big majority and decided to stick things in the manifesto that they knew would be unpopular but they wanted to use this opportunity to drive through - fox hunting for example. I mean ffs, all that's going on in the world and they decided that re-introducing fox hunting was worth even mentioning in the campaign. They offered nothing to make people look forward to the future, just more corporate style 'cost cutting' governance where the majority of people would be screwed. I started this election campaign without a question that I would vote tory. They totally drove me away with their miserable campaign and to give Corbyn credit his manifesto may have been overly optimistic but at least it was optimistic and you could accept he genuinely believed in what he was proposing and that it was for people's benefit rather than just reeling off soundbites from strategists.
how ? labour/ tories/ dup all accept the eu result. there could be one on the final deal, but we are leaving.
I'm not ignoring SF at all, hence the need for 6 MP's to disagree or not turn up rather than 3, for her to lose. 2010 was an agreed, formal coalition. This loose arrangement is doomed to end before the end of the year.You're ignoring the fact SF never take their seats in that but I don't understand your point.
It's mad ain't it WTF is going on....After accusing Corbyn of being a terrorists sympathiser May gets into bed with terrorist sympathisers. Oh, they're homophobes and anti women's rights too.
This country is great
You're happy with a party that terrorise school children (Google, Holy Cross)Just googled them - I am.
Shockingly week leader with a dismal campaign performance, she will soon be gone when Graham Brady gets the requisite number of letters from Tory MP's requesting a leadership ballot.Spot on. May took the opportunity to put shit in there, based on a mistaken belief that she was invincible.
It's mad ain't it WTF is going on....
Typical Tory response, may did shite because of her not so good manifesto, no show on face to face debates because she knew she wouldn't beat Mr corbyn on it , she was drinking tea on a sports field while he was out campaigning, she should do the decent thing and fuck offPensioners gave May a kicking over her proposal to scrap the triple-lock pension increase.
Young voters who have never worked and never paid taxes mainly voted Labour.
The reduction in police numbers fell squarely at the ex-Home Secretary's door.
Corbyn gained from all these things, not from his policies.
