Raeg posted:20 point gap to a 2 point gap. Hell of a thing. Yeah and that's relying on tories with tiny majorities following an unpopular leader who just led them into a totally unnecessary defeat.

The DUP know their role in this, they'll keep to the sidelines. Of course a couple of their MPs have absolutely awful attendance records so they would need to improve on that lol

I am very pleased with the outcome. I think Northern Ireland will have a real voice in this parliament. I think the large parties - the mainland parties - will have to stop ignoring us.

Reminder that Kensington is too close to call after several recounts, and that if it goes Lab the Tory+DUP working majority will be 1. Theresa May can potentially be held hostage by any single MP on her backbenches.

Kurtofan posted:loving scots No, gently caress you, there's still by far a majority of anti-Tory MPs in Scotland. yes, there's more Tories than I'd like, or expected, but the Tories have an absolute majority in England, it's the other regions which pull them back from a majority overall.

Vitamin P posted:Well gently caress that elation didn't last long. Obviously it's not as good as it could have been (a Labour majority), but it's so much better now than it was a month ago. Supporting Labour and Corbyn isn't a joke any more just for cranks and students - it's almost as popular as the Conservatives and if you go by vote share rather than seats then progressive(ish) parties are a bigger proportion than the rest. Maybe the country isn't as poo poo as the last few years made it feel, which has cheered me up tremendously.

ukle posted:DUP supposedly not agreed to any deal yet. All their MP's are meeting soon, its a given they will not agree any supply motion that doesn't guarantee an open border as it would be electoral suicide for them. They will 100% support the Tories and take their chance to be kingmakers. The Tories have been courting them for just this occasion since brexit, inviting them to their conference and plying them with champagne. They where their emergency brake in case of pro-remain rebels. This is not being pulled out of thin air

jBrereton posted:Yeah and Theresa May being so much more inept than anyone at Labour HQ could possibly have hoped for. Biggest takeaway for me is that the power of the Sun and Daily Mail is slipping. Corbyn was their perfect target, they hit him with everything for 2 years, even had the help of his own party, and they couldn't take him down. They have to be worrying right about now. That and the youf vote. I've no idea where this 72% figure has come from but even if it wasn't that high, it was high. That's a cultural shift, that's peer influence bringing people out to vote and it's incredibly loving encouraging.

SteelMentor posted:People were mentioning another election around October, what would be the inciting incident of such a deathblow to the Tories? Leadership change I guess. May has possibly had to promise she'll gently caress off after a respectable interval (so that she can insist that it's not because she's been owned in the election) and another leadership election this soon will probably prompt another election.

jBrereton posted:What do you reckon Stormont needs to function? For Stormont to come back there needs to be an Irish Language Act - this has become an obvious red line issue for SF and in principle the government has agreed to some protections for the Irish language. Some agreement needs to be reached on language provision but the DUP will block the gently caress out of it. If they push ahead with the select defence committees recommendation for a statue of limitations for security service personnel to protect ARE BOYS and push for unilateral legacy framework were even more hosed
