Another election and get it sorted properly

would another election sort it out though. what happens if we end up with a similar vote ? the exact same problems would happen.

Tory Bob Neill on Sky saying Corbyn is prepared to to a deal with a party who want to break up the UK. Labour have said every time from the beginning NO COALITION. Yet here the Tories are looking at their own coalition of chaos.

Compulsive liars.

A lot of Tory MPs unhappy about associating with the DUP a party whose candidates were endorsed by a loyalist umbrella group which represents the UDA.
Chief concern is that the DUP will extract concessions from May regarding local Northern Ireland issues which might just upset Sinn Fein a bit. This could destabilize the Nortern Ireland peace already under strain after Brexit and the collapse of the assembly a few months back.
PS they are also anti same sex marriage,anti abortion, formerly climate change deniers and pro creationists.

A minority government that is outvoted by the Tories on every issue? How is that progressive?

On the basis they'd get the support of other parties and get the majority vote on matters.

Very difficult for the Conservatives if they persevere but have to call a fresh election later this year. Similarly, if they appoint an other leader and then call an election. Not sure how forgiving the electorate would be if asked to go to the polls again.

Perhaps Brenda from Bristol should decide when the country is ready.

That's why surely Sinn Fein should be thinking about taking those seats up. It puts their united Ireland aims back if DUP gain a vice like grip on NI matters imo.

Yep. Quite funny, really. A party that is mostly stuck in the mid 20th century, being propped up by one that is still stuck in the late 17th!

Because 3 years after that the world may be a very different place.

It may very well be but my point is the leader who takes us through Brexit will not have any kind of political career left by then.

So what? This is all noises off.

Politics is being re-set, from now on the opposition will be different from the government, not a mirror image of it. That's a good thing, otherwise it's Tweedledee or Tweedledum forever and people are sick of it.

Something we agree on and probably the first time in this thread.

A different opposition is a must, otherwise there's no actual choice.
