Don't most of those parties want to avoid Brexit altogether or ensure a closer relationship than in the withdrawal agreement, while the ERG wants a no deal exit? That's gonna be a good partnership.

Bryter posted:Only 1.4% of DUP members consider themselves Irish at all. For a lot of them it would be a contradiction. Well yeah, it seems like the hardcore Unionists have come in the modern era to think of the word as being synonymous with Republicans and their cultural symbology. quote:Whenever Paisley and older unionists said it, they meant exactly the same thing as Dubliners did. Hell, Carson was a Dubliner. Somehow I don't think Paisely meant "Irish" in the sense of Catholicism, Irish Gaelic, and independence from London like Irish nationalists would mean it.

Raskolnikov38 posted:wouldn't this trigger an election? sounds like a bad idea if you want brexit to happen Technically no, the government would have to resign, but parliament doesn't have to be dissolved. Labour could be given a chance to form a minority or coalition government: the first Labour government was actually formed in exactly those circumstances. But realistically, yes an election would be unavoidable.

Not even especially hardcore unionists. I have plenty of apolitical relatives from mainstream culturally unionist background who would never think to call themselves Irish. Grape posted:Somehow I don't think Paisely meant "Irish" in the sense of Catholicism, Irish Gaelic, and independence from London like Irish nationalists would mean it. That's not what Irishness meant in the early 20th century, as I think you acknowledged in your previous sentence (?). It's like how today Scottish unionists and nationalists don't mean fundamentally different things when they identify as Scottish. Bryter has issued a correction as of 23:01 on Dec 12, 2018 |

https://twitter.com/addamschloe/status/1072248188504035328?s=19 I didn't know Prime Minister was originally an insult, but apparently it's true, it was first said to pejoratively compare someone to Cardinal Richelieu

I'm watching this all from the States- so assuming there's not a general vote of no confidence by the House of Commons later (hahaha), did May's survival of the internal party vote change anything about the balance of power within the Tory caucus, or the Commons as a whole? Because from what I understand she still has such a shallow group of reliable supporters that she still has to rely on fair weather allies and the like to fill major ministerial positions. Plus, the government still has absolutely no leverage going into talks with the EU. It just looks like there's going to be either No Deal or an "extra-constitutional resolution" to this that forces through the current EU deal at this point.
