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

I have no irrational views on equal rights.

What exactly are you trying to get me to say?

Something that will start an argument. All your opinions are straight out of the DM comments.

Now all we need is a push for equal marriage in NI....

Absolutely and also abortion access in NI. As welcome as today's announcement is, its still ridiculous that NI women have to travel to the mainland.

You are trying to get me to say 'something that will start an argument'? Some weird troll thing you are trying?!

Your opinions are non existent.

Gonna have to agree with the comments.

On another note, when exactly are we going to do proper background checks on people who come here to work like they do in America? Just seen this:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...-mowed-two-girls-new-year-hit-and-run-jailed/

All four men came to the UK from Hungary to work and all four had previous convictions, including Kalanyos for rape and murder, the court heard.

And people here complain that the DUP aren't very nice.

Indeed, she's not outraged enough to do anything about it but it shows the that they have at least some members with some semblance of conscience

Like all those proper checks on the millions of people south of the US border?

Stella Creasy has refused to remove her amendment vote despite Justine Greenings letter to MP's. This one will be interesting.

Well done to Ms. Creasy. Government can weasel out of it too easily otherwise.

 

[LOAM]

I just hope it doesn't jeopardise the earlier proposals. It would be an insane situation to have Tory MP's, including Justine Greening voting against it having already agreed to it.

 

[LOAM]

Stella Creasy has in fact withdrawn the amendment just now. I'm quite pleased if I'm honest.

Brexit amendment defeated - anything else?

There will be plenty once parliament starts proper. Today has shown how fragile it all is and I would fully expect some very uncomfortable votes coming.

Yes very uncomfortable lol

"A cross-party amendment led by the Labour former business secretary Chuka Umunna calling for the Government to set out proposals for the UK to remain within the customs union and single market was defeated by 322 votes to 101, a majority of 221."

To be fair, the opposition amendment to the Queen' speech was only voted down by 323 votes to 297 - a majority of 26.

 

[wordy]

Sheathed because for now none of them want to upset the cart before the Queens speech vote and sheathed for amendments only because they know the perceived impact of losing a vote. Just look at today's announcement from Justine Greening regarding NHS access to abortion services for NI women in the UK. It was known that 40+ Tory MP's would vote against their own party, they knew they would lose that so backed down.

Also they know there's a very good chance that whoever take leadership of the tory party will lose the next election & they'd rather not have that on their C.V.

 

[StriderX]

It would appear some Tories abstained or voted the other way, if we remove the speaker/Sinn Fein and we assume all of DUP voted with Government, they are down 4.

That's dangerous for the Tories.

Wish i knew the record of voting, as i don't know the make up of the Nay vote...

 

[n111ck]

Some labour sackings to end the day lol

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

Just a few Tories need to be ill and some others to abstain which I think will happen on some of the issues over the next few months.

Minority Governments don't ever last. Look at John Major for inspiration (who by the way condemned the DUP deal).

I'd still like somebody to explain why May couldn't have just not talked to the DUP as they would have voted with her anyway.
