So Sinn Fein's purpose is to steal seats and not fill them for vengeance against the hated Sassenachs? That's pretty baller.

Yes but Sassenachs is Scottish, I dunno what the equivalent Irish is but, actually, Tory would be close because it derives from the Irish word for thief which i can't spell.

Man you guys gotta get rid of voter registration, here in Finland everyone just get a paper home saying you can vote and where, just gotta show up. And elections are held on Sundays. Getting higher turnout is key.

So I guess the last 'big' result we're waiting on is if Zac Goldsmith's newfound ability to go through a campaign without committing semi-constant racisms is enough to win Richmond Park back for the Tories?

Aye best case from that perspective for any party is the other guys to have a narrow majority and be left holding the bag.

However, actually doing that is both too hard to engineering reliably and would cost too many careers to be doable deliberately.

That's when we find out that Corbyn was Francis Urquhart and engineered everything from the beginning to purge Blarism, take out the SNP & Lib Dems and set up the Tories for catastrophic ruin.

Sort of, but the DUP are right wing religious radicals. They're also anti-brexit unless they can guarantee no Ireland-Northern Ireland border, which the Tories really can't.

DUP won't agree to anything but the softest of Brexits, on the basis that any sort of hard border between NI and RoI could very well reignite the Troubles.

Ok so why don't they fill those seats and sit and spin? Is just flipping the bird and taking the seats out of play their way of implying that the British government is an illegitimate trash fire?

Looking forward to all the commentators who praised May for outflanking Labour with a snap election and a slam dunk majority now tearing her apart for her incompetence executing a plan they always knew was terrible. Couldn't happen to a nicer alien wearing a human suit.
