Poll: Exit Poll: UK General Election 2017 - Results discussion and OcUK Exit Poll - Closing 8th July

It's going to be ******* hilarious if the Tories have to preside over Northern Ireland, having to decide whether gay marriage is a sin in one place but entirely fine everywhere else.

What a farce.

Yes, we do live a in backwards country.

 

[LOAM]

Looks like the Court of Appeal as decided its up to Stormont to sort it out. So will the Common's vote have any baring on the matter?

Looking a little further into it, abortion availability in NI is indeed devolved but this amendment allows NI women to come to the UK and have abortions free of charge on the NHS which is something they currently can not do. So even if the NI agreement is sorted (which to be honest looks unlikely at the moment) it has relevance. Stella Creasy claims to have 40 conservative MP's on board for this.

If we go back to direct rule of NI it is going to end up being a pro unionist party having control of the entire country. Violating the power sharing principals of GF and potentially some very bad ramifications.

The Tories have got real problems on their hands. I can no longer support them.

LOL have you only just worked that out.............

This was always going to be a problem from the minute May started trying to buy the DUP MP's off. She's in bed with them now and she is going to get fleas.

What is being realised now is that the DUP have no reason to concede anything in this discussion at all. It doesn't matter to them if it reverts or not now because they have complete influence of the current government. In many respects power returning to Westminster probably suits them better.

That's my reading of the situation, that there is no Nationalist representation on matters pertaining to NI if power sharing is not restored there is disproportionate DUP influence. This situation is an absolute shambles and unfortunately the doing of Teresa May.

So when does the IRA start their bombing campaign on mainland UK again?

Just when you think humanity has finally plateaued to a sensible level after centuries of war, turmoil, inequality and poor judgement you actually realise we are just another piece of the timeline and one step away from the next history lesson.

2016 already established that with the Trump and Brexit votes. The impending Northern Ireland fiasco is just one of the early ripples from the Tories throwing that Brexit stone.

Will Theresa May go down as the worst PM in recent British history?

I can't think of a single good thing she has done. The other PMs of late have done at least some good things.

Id imagine 'white' people doing some bombing would be quite popular on here.

As for your question check with corbyn?

If the status of gaelic is really 'justification' for a bombing campaign...

She has kept corbyn out of number 10 - history will thank her for that at least lol

What are you talking about?

I can't think of Corbyn handling this situation any worse than May has. In fact, we probably would have had a more representative Government.

 

[n111ck]

Which bit?

The tedious terrorist threads on here?

Corbyns links to the IRA?

Or the main sticking point in the stormont talks?

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

Ah, I see we've found our Conservative party manifesto bot.

Yes because a pro IRA prime minister would be very stabilising...

It's better to post nothing if you have nothing to add.

You must be describing your own posts, then.

so why do you still post ? as you add nothing but daily mail bile

 

[n111ck]

If I was I think I would have worded it differently - do you have anything to add?
