Labour wins Enfield Southgate Labour has won back Enfield Southgate, the site of the legendary 1997 Portillo moment. Bambos Charalambous has taken the seat with 24,989 votes to Conservative David Burrowes’ 20,634. That’s a 9.7% swing from Conservative to Labour.

The unfortunate downside to this: Cameron gets to feel like less of an abject failure.

Didn't, like, Gerry Adams or someone like that day that any Brexit would create a border in Ireland and thus be a violation of the Good Friday Agreement? So like...poo poo could pop off? I'm American so I don't know what I'm talking about, but that sounds familiar.

Vox Nihili posted:thats the theory so let's say they stick to that, think the Tories agree or is there gonna be some drama? DUP seem like nuts but a 'hard' brexit would be pretty crushing for NI, it feels like if they're gonna make a stand this is where it'd be.

34 seats to go, Tories need 15 of them to have a chance at forming government, they need 29 of them to get a majority.

Brexit presents a lot of complications for the GFA, but no, poo poo won't pop off. The troubles didn't erupt over a lack of cross-border co-operation, they were fuelled by a disenfranchised minority having a civil rights campaign met by state repression and violence, and it escalated from there. It's a totally different environment today. Gerry will not be digging up his armalite.

So, the fixed term Parliament act is still a thing, right? That should add some extra spice to the next six months...

So Sky is saying the Tories cannot get a coalition with Sinn Fein, Green, LibDem, Labour of course, or PC, leaving only DUP, so conservatives need at least 316 seats to get a one seat majority IF they get a coalition with DUP.

Only issue is that a lot of the tories that got the boot were the soft Brexit lot. All the unhinged bellends in safe seats are still there
