Murderion posted:More than that, the Scottish cons all got their seats due largely to strong campaigning from Ruth "actually engaged to a catholic woman" Davidson. The Orange Order and looney prods in general are a wing that the Scottish party has been very much downplaying to bring up their moderate (and modern, because lol anti-Irish racism in 2017) image. A strong association with the DUP could see the Scottish Tory vote vanish. Not just the Scottish Tory vote. Remember that this is the same Conservative party who sacked the MP for the Isle of Wight just before the election because of how homophobic he was. ..it's still loving weird to me that I live in a world where I can say that.

Ed milliband doesn't want a cabinet seat apparently: he's been offered shadow environment before and turned it down. Not out of anti-corbyn feeling, but a desire for new blood, is what I heard.

Random Integer posted:The Orange Order and Protestant Identity need to die because they are objectively lovely things built on prejudice, entitlement and a sense of supremacy traditionally enforced with violence. Pretending they are just a bunch of colourful cheeky chappies doesn't change that. Paranoia about the death of Protestant identity is exactly what fuelled the rise of the DUP which remember is a RECENT thing - The DUP exploded in size by preying on sense of discomfort the peace process created in protestants by promising a shining city of NO SURRENDER (only to eventual concede that actually okay maybe things do have to change but if we give an inch they must also give us an inch) to the faithful You've got to convince protestants that an end to conventional Protestant Identity as expressed by Loyalism does not entail a death of Protestants as a distinct community in a pluralist society which can be tricky to do while calling for the Orange Order to be banned cause while a lot of Protestants don't actually like the Order that much it is one of the most obvious visible expressions of the community. At some future date maybe the OO will fade away, as it historically has done in the past, but we're a good bit off that

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Fair point, Rupee could just babyrage and who knows what he'll do then. Has Rubes ever just done anything like that before? A couple of times in Australia, though the big one was like 40 years ago and when he became the spiteful right wing shitheel we all know today. He helped get essentially Australia's Clement Attlee, Gough Whitlam, into power after unbroken decades of Liberal rule. Whitlam didn't give a poo poo about him and wouldn't give him anything in return. So he told his editors to kill him. He helped cause a major constitutional crisis that lost Whitlam his prime ministership and the labour party the government. All because he didn't get his way. He's a loving child.

This is exactly why May is a evil oval office for even thinking about this deal. Pretty much quote #2. Both the UDA and IRA were murderous eye-for-an-eye fuckheads during the Troubles. The UDA probably had a fair about of under-table support from London, but the IRA had some backers in Dublin and ultimately it all kept resulting in people taking potshots at schoolgirls based on what religion they were theoretically born into. Whatever you feel about the Irish Question and whether the island should be unified or if Ulster should remain under the Union Jack forever, the number one priority should be making sure there's no cause to restart the violence. Too many innocent people died during the Troubles and there's no value in restarting it.

I really want to believe that the old guard are in fact behind corbyn now he's got some gains and not just playing nice and tempting him into their chamber so they can try to eat him again I'm uncomfortable with this strange new world when I can no longer necessarily rely on hope being a mistake

Pershing posted:But how widespread is the belief that the IRA is a bad thing/bad actor? Do they have their partisans today and how numerous are they? It depends on the POV. To Irish republicans they were mostly heroes. Unionists and loyalists invariably think of them, and also anyone who doesn't outright condemn them, as sub-human scum of the earth, unlike their own brave heroic terrorists. Middle of the road people tend to see them as despicable actors in a complicated conflict. The IRA of the Troubles is no more, or at least sleeping. There are small, breakaway dissident groups that call themselves things like 'The Real IRA' and 'Continuity IRA' that carry out sporadic bombings and shootings and are universally loathed. Those are condemned by SF, and they're represented by tiny fringe parties like Érigi, but Unionists do not discern any difference between them and the IRA, and even Sinn Fein. Unionists still use the term "Sinn Fein/IRA" when talking about Sinn Fein to make sure that their electorate keeps drawing that connection. (I can't make an i-fada due to the BB code, which is frustrating!)

I mean your dude took Labor from 'We are about to be destroyed' to 'I nearly became prime minister and also our opponents' only hope to cling to that is to make a pact with ethnoregionalist lunatics.' That seems like it'd have a way towards calming skepticism about his political abilities.
