Given how bad things are with May, and the possible worse alternatives such as Boris as PM, I decided to look back at some videos from what I personally consider the last known stable Ieadership of the conservative party, that I have seen in the years of my life time. And for me, this is none other than John Major during the 1990s. I was old enough during the 90s to remember some stability during those years. Granted, there weren't some of the situations we are faced with now, so it is hard to measure how well John Major would have dealt with the problems we face today, but I don't think he would have gave into the pressures of holding an eu referendum necessarily - people older than me may recall things I don't about his leadership and may disagree though. That said, looking back at that period, and looking back at some old videos on youtube as a reminder of his leadership, I actually think he was quite underrated, and yes I think he was actually better than Cameron in some ways.

Btw SF for example are anti abortion as well so it's not just the DUP.
In regards to the creationism ***** I can't find much about it online bar a story about a DUP MLA going to a "Talk" about it. It hasn't and never will be getting taught in schools.

I'm sure he'll be pleased with that.
But it's based on 2 days of being told that Corbyn is a legend for losing the election despite promising the Earth and Theresa May being ridiculed for losing a few seats despite getting more votes than they did in 2015. It's not a reflection on their actual ability to lead.

No, her ability to lead was shown in the election when she u-turned and ran away from debates. Her ability to lead was shown after the election when she carried on as if nothing had changed. Her ability to lead was shown when she immediately cozied up with the DUP and put the peace process in at least some jeopardy.
It is a problem with Ireland in general - too many religious idiots having way too much influence over people's lives, the Republic has similar backwards views on abortion.

I am just going to put this out there, but I think Philip Hammond has been awfully quiet during the whole election campaign and with recent events...Potential leadership bid in the making?
If people wanted a soft Brexit then why didn't Labour get a majority what with all of the free stuff he was offering? you can't even reach 326 seats with all of the remainer parties put together. If the DUP respect the 2016 independence referendum then May has only really lost 2 seats.
How can the Tories not getting a majority mean a rejection of hard Brexit and yet Labour doing appallingly by comparison isn't a rejection of soft Brexit?

Not very charismatic though is he. They need somebody not poisoned by this Government.

Why has religion remained so prevalent in Northern Ireland/the ROI?

Despite what people say about Corbyn failing to win a majority, I thought he did pretty well considering nearly the whole mainstream media was against him.
