Irony Be My Shield posted:So the boundary changes are pretty dead unless the DUP is happy to hand some of their seats to SF and a bunch of Tory MPs can be convinced to vote to destroy their own seats? totally dead they were opposed by the conservative back bench under the coalition, and Cameron only managed to revive the idea in his second term with the promise that the imminent labour wipeout would compensate for the overall seat count reduction.

Re: Boundary Review - the DUPs 2015 demands included "an agreed guaranteed minimum level of representation of Northern Ireland in the house of commons" so realistically rather than demanding the whole review process be thrown out (which the Tories will probably reject) they will probably look for a statutory amendment to either protect seats or set a minimum seat number at 18 to water down potential changes in their favour - NI has a separate boundary commission after all and it does get to use specific formulations in calculating seats that would give them wiggle room for a v. specific amendment in their favour

For some reason Farage always reminded me of Toad of Toad Hall, but this guy Coburn might edge him out. Either that or the villain from Biker Mice From Mars.

the boundary changes aren't going to go through this parliament. lab/libs/snp aren't going to vote for them because they increase the tory's advantage (however marginally), and whichever tory MPs are projected to lose their seats are obviously not going to vote for it.

Are UKIP done? I reckon they're probably done. They'll take huge, fatal losses at the next local elections and then we'll hear in three years that nobody bothered to renew their party registration or something.

coffeetable posted:like, of all the fights the gov has it's pick of this parliament, the boundary review is the dumbest But lets be clear, you'd still not be shocked if they try to push it through, right? Because they are in fact the dumbest. Hoops posted:Are UKIP done? I reckon they're probably done. They'll take huge, fatal losses at the next local elections and then we'll hear in three years that nobody bothered to renew their party registration or something. Well, the press are keen to still give Nigel airtime, even if they won't give it to anyone else in the party. I imagine it'll depend on how Brexit negotiations go. The harder the Brexit the more pointless UKIP become. Though there will always be xenophobic cunts blaming the problems of the country on immigrants instead of focusing on the class based nature of the causes.

Edit: he'll dial down on a lot of stuff too so they'll have him back on HIGNFY. Because here's my hot take - Nigel Farage is despicable but is *not* actually a racist.

Seaside Loafer posted:No they seem to get the emails but it can take a long time to answer. I don't bombard MP's with emails, ive sent like 4 over the past 5 years and they all got answered eventually. Caroline Lucas was the best for responses, 2 of them, seemed like an actual thoughtful helpful personal responses (posted in one of the old threads here somewhere if you can be arsed searching for it, approx 2 years ago). Worst one was some Tory in Essex who told me to gently caress off basically though to be fair I think I was pretty rude myself. I bumped into mine in the pub one weekday night. Drunken pub politik chat is much more interesting when your MP is tanked and actually A Cool Guy.

Hoops posted:I think "Nigel Farage the politician" and "UKIP" are sufficiently different public concepts now that he'll go on without them. He'll be the favourite talking head gadfly guy getting interviewed about whatever but won't be standing for any seats. 50/50 he'll be on I'm a Celebrity next year and fall into a Piers Morgan-y, indefineable, "public figure" role. A non-racist who panders to them to push his Randian dreams is arguably worse

I have seen a bunch of furries having a disco in a park in Southampton once. That was pretty weird but I'm not sure if it was worse than Orangemen. e: on reflection, since they didn't bottle anybody or burn a catholic in effigy I'm going to say they were substantially preferable to orangemen.

They already lost every single seat they were defending at the last local election and only got 1.8% in the GE so yeah they're not doing great.

They marched through the sectarian hell that is Harrogate, North Yorkshire when I still lived there. I missed it because I was mopping a basement. E: Google tells me they were marching because the had just opened a lodge there
