Gum posted:Bingo. I was actually talking about that earlier in the thread This actually reminds me of a fairly weird conversation I was having with a work associate yesterday (a decent-seeming guy in his early-mid 40s with dubious politics) where he said he didn't understand why people liked to talk about politics because he thought trying to change peoples' opinions was rude as gently caress. Like, he legitimately thinks that trying to convince someone of the correctness of your argument over theirs is somehow morally wrong, which he gave as a main reason for not looking at social media because 'everyone is talking about politics recently'.

I was surprised, I'd have thought they'd have been more suppressed by the Tory mainfesto. my polite bournemouth grandparents-in-law voted tory completely out of a perceived thread of terrorists. When asked about their opinion on May's record as home secretary the conversation turned to bluebells.

IRA bombing to resume within the month if that happens, as that is a significant break of the Good Friday agreement. The Tories really are loving idiots. Also on another note the Independent is reporting May is going to try and get her ban the Internet bill passed as the first point of business. She is doubling down on the dumb.

Of course May wants to censor the internet ASAP. It contains information that makes her, her party and their backers look bad. They can't control it (unlike Murdoch's rags) so they want to block all communications they don't approve of entirely.

spiderbot posted:How many of these decisions in the past few days are actually supported by Tory MPs? Are they really so desperate that they are in favour of May staying and and agreement with the DUP? I wouldn't be surprised if May has gone rogue and is doing all this solo to do anything she can to fend off the vultures. Absolutely, but as important to mention is that even the most crotchety backbench MP who's not in denial must be concerned about the momentum Labour is showing after this election. Their supporters are demoralized and shocked (particularly anyone who voted for the Ruth Davidson party) and Labour's are energized and hopeful that the PLP will either fall in line finally or at least learn to hate quietly. They do not want another election and are hoping for Labour to go back to loving up before they're forced into calling another. CoolCab fucked around with this message at 14:05 on Jun 10, 2017 |

It's important to realise just how miserable being in a hung parliament is going to make most MPs (but especially Tories). Kid's birthday party? Anniversary? Mum's funeral? You can forget about going to them if there's even a semi-important vote on. Plus most of the bastards have terrible attendance records. Those new Scottish Tories had better get used to sitting on trains because they're going to be doing a gently caress of a lot of it.

Pollsters really need to share a significant amount of blame for how poo poo political discourse has been. If they are going to ignore whatever young people say and just assume they won't turn out, what incentive is there for a political party to cater to them? Even if you appeal to the youth it won't be reflected anywhere. Luckily, the escape clause is a leader with the brass balls necessary to ignore the polling data and do what's right. We shouldn't have had to wait for that though.

ukle posted:IRA bombing to resume within the month if that happens, as that is a significant break of the Good Friday agreement. The Tories really are loving idiots.. Sarah Bellum posted:To correct a misgiving in the past few pages, though: Their announcement regarding the breach of the Good Friday Agreement is not an implicit threat of a return to violence, IRA on the streets, gun battles on the peacelines etc. It's a simple "this is an international binding treaty and you cannot break the terms of it as we absolutely will challenge it" warning. They've been sitting quietly with that one up their sleeve in the event of Brexit, holding the legal threat of "You can't Brexit us too, it's in the treaty that we have to stay in the EU and be subject to the ECHR" and waiting for the right time use it. Since they can utterly gently caress up May's government, they've pulled it out now. SF are very, very savvy political players and have an end game in mind. Gerry Adams won't be running to the queen to say the SF members will take their seats, not just because they won't (and that's entirely down to the oath to the queen, not the legitimacy of the UK government, but they also can't do that because they've been quashing rivals like Gerry Carroll of the far left People Before Profit in west Belfast from becoming a serious challenge by yelling from the rooftops that he's a Brit and a traitor and a unionist because he said he'd take the oath) because he's not even involved in politics in the north right now. He's a sitting TD in the Irish Dáil, where SF have been slowly but very surely increasing their presence and influence over the past 15 years. They are purely political players and very adept at turning chaos to their advantage. Stormont will not reform because it suits their interests to not allow it to reform. Theresa May will not form a government with the DUP because SF will not allow her to form a government with the DUP, by taking her to an international tribunal for breaking the terms of the treaty. They can and will be able to pull the same stunt in two years time if they try to take the north out of the EU. The GFA is their trump card and they will play it as and when it suits them.
