For real though a Tory DUP coalition is hilariously weak and I'd be surprised if it lasts six months

Labour & SNP govt would be chaos. Tory & DUP would incidentally be cool and good, funny how that works.

The first thing the queen should do is ask "So did you win the election then?" while she sips a cup of tea with her back turned. Flanked by two royal guard of course.

Best result is Tory+DUp coalition leads to election again this year, Corbyn takes his positive vision and builds on it with a few tweaks while Tory infighting removes any perception of competence and stability from the electorate.

Going in to coalition with the DUP is a loving poisoned chalice for the Tories. I lived in a DUP constituency in my formative years and these people are some of the absolute worst, backwards rear end people on the face of the planet – AND they're facing down the barrel of an inquiry in to a £400 million fraudulent green energy scheme. If the DUP get any PR time whatsoever over the next few months it's going to drive moderates/youth away from the Tories in droves.

Yup, this. CoolCab posted:They would have to be mad to let May run another election. I'm a dumbass, but what's the Tory procedure for stuff like this? If May refuses to go, can they no-confidence her? And is it just their MPs who get a say?

Barry Foster posted:Yup, this. Either she can quit, or if 15% of the MPs write to the 1922 Committee they can trigger a leadership vote. Then anyone can stick their oar in and you get progressive rounds of MPs voting until there's only two candidates left, at which point it goes to the membership. Interestingly if it's the second option, May is barred from standing.

Dunbartonshire West went from a 15,000-strong SNP lead to being an SNP/Lab marginal. So if the Tory/DUP coalition falls apart (spoilers: it will) and we vote again, I am absolutely voting Labour.

Guavanaut posted:"She lost because women are not natural leaders, especially against the testosterone levels of a beardman. It's rational science!" *slinks off to hug body pillow of Boris' Johnson* I'm curious, who's best positioned to replace May right now? Because I'm no expert in British politics but from what I've seen of Boris Johnson an election against him in six months might be the ticket to Full Communism Now.

Well, my constituency of Ealing Southall remains comfortably labour (+31k). It's been really lovely seeing the reaction of the thread to good news. I don't think that the result is necessarily the death of centrism: I was broadly centrist before switching LD->Lab and remain so now. But the country's shifted so far to the right that voting for the leftest serious candidate feels like the best way to get back to a country that's a decent place for people to live in, and that's likely to be the case for a while. We need a decade or so of proper socialist policies and a few renationalisations to rebalance things.

I have a bad gut feeling that the DUP are mad and disciplined enough to prop up a Tory hellfucking for a long while so long as their special requirements in norn iron are looked after. But all it takes is a couple of restive Tory backbenchers to kick up a fuss....

There's a rogue's gallery of misfits and weirdoes (Fox, Gove, Leadsom) who had a go last time and might be tempted again. Maybe Hammond. They're severely lacking in talent though, it's stunning how mediocre the top of the party is.

I like the idea of them falling apart completely but I'm having a hard time convincing myself it's not just wishful thinking. I don't think the issue is with the DUP, it's more MPs within the conservative party. Even with the DUP she only has a wafer thin majority, a few rebels or a by-election will gently caress her up.

Colleague of mine (NHS analyst) has outed themselves as a 'small government flat taxer with opinions which wouldn't really be very popular who was annoyed that people consider her selfish' so I'm guessing she's full libertarian possibly UKIP. Thankfully with these results I didn't get even slightly angry in the following discussion.

Tesseraction posted:Carl of Sad I didn't know much about him before, only ever watched one video, but after reading what was posted about him in another thread "Carl of Sad" is a good description of him. The fact his fans see him as 'the only beacon of logic and truth in this sad menagerie' is also sad.

Both parties are in a precarious position and want diametrically opposed things. It's that simple. They can not work together long term, because eventually both parties will have to serve their central interests or collapse. When that point comes, one side or the other is destroyed. The end.
