TheBalor posted:Forgive the ignorant American, but isn't it possible they look at the same polls we are and just swallow their pride for the sake of power? Keep this zombie coalition going for years? It's not as easy as that. As soon as they lose the vote on a major piece of legislation they won't have the confidence of Parliament and the coalition will collapse. At that point they have to call an election.

In a vacuum, yes, you could expect a fairly stable government as a result of knowing the next election is going to murder them and their only hope is to hope Corbyn fucks up severely before that happens However, the Tories are earthshatteringly incompetent morons and the DUP are absolute nutters, and as much as they might try to avoid their fate, they're almost certain to poo poo the bed spectacularly as a result.

El Grillo posted:Saw something on Facebook about 800,000 members? loving insane if true if he's smart he'll sit tight and make as much noise as possible short of asking for another election and let the Tory party cause it themselves through their own instability. So long as he can make a convincing case for it being the Tories' fault that there had to be another vote he should manage to avoid being damaged by it

Also if the Tories try to keep going with a government they know is unpopular and insanely weak at a time when important international negotiations are happening their popularity will plummet. They could face electoral annihilation.

Something has gone very wrong. Presumably in the same way the election was going to be a cakewalk, the DUP were going to be very sane and reasonable people to deal with.

You see this? This right here? This is why the good friday agreement specifically makes reference to the government of the UK on the whole not taking sides in issues involving the NI.

TheBalor posted:So is that automatic when legislation fails? No, but if it's a major piece of legislation (probably something in the manifesto) if the opposition has enough votes to reject it then they'll probably follow that up with a motion of no confidence. The only caveat is that since the Fixed Term Parliaments Act in 2011 nobody's done it - so we're not entirely sure how it will still work. If they lose they do have to resign and call an election though.

I like that they include "today (Saturday)" just to make sure that their constituents don't get the wrong idea about them being heathens and talking shop on a Sunday.

TheRat posted:Hell status: Frozen That's pretty unexpected from Philips, but I note that even in that article she's still trying to land sick burns on Jez. Jess Philips posted:There will be a number of different reactions from my colleagues in the parliamentary Labour party who doubted Corbyn. One camp will just jump on the Team Corbyn bandwagon and sign up wholesale to whatever it takes to be in the gang. Another group will still remain a thorn in his side, blindly rejecting the positives, not dissimilar to the group Corbyn was part of in the Blair years.
