If May still wins even after this ridiculous shitshow of a campaign I'm honestly going to dedicate the next five years of my life entirely to getting the hell out of this country. No shame in fleeing from a sinking ship.

You guys really think a Tory/DUP coalition will collapse within a year? I like the idea of them falling apart completely but I'm having a hard time convincing myself it's not just wishful thinking.

Mulva posted:Both parties are in a precarious position and want diametrically opposed things. It's that simple. They can not work together long term, because eventually both parties will have to serve their central interests or collapse. When that point comes, one side or the other is destroyed. The end. What's so diametrically opposed about them? I'm in a DUP constituency. They're ultra-conservative theocratic fucks. Seems like exactly the people the Tories would love to jump on board with.

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.

Mugsbaloney posted:Please forgive my ignorance but could the pattern of violence in NI be broadly summarised as "Nats target soldiers" followed by " Loyalists target civilians"? It's best summarised as " Could have all been avoided by just being decent human beings but the British Empire decided they wanted to be in the running for History's Greatest Shitbags".

forkboy84 posted:For Norn Iron goons, something I've always wanted to know. Why exactly are the nationalists parties much more strongly associated with left wing politics & the unionists all right wing? Surely there's loads of working class unionists who would vote for a party that looked after their rights while also being for remaining in the UK? And with Fianna Fail & Fine Gael you've obviously got nearby examples of right wing Irish nationalist parties. So how has it ended up as it has? Protestant Theocracy is an extremely right wing position.

ThomasPaine posted:Queen's speech only needs 51% iirc. It's a formal recognition that a PM holds the confidence of the house (which is why a 51% majority is considered a 'win' in the election and why the DUP are needed in the first place). So we need ten Tory defectors? You think it's likely that we'll get that many?

The longer this poo poo stretches on the weaker it makes May look and also makes the idea of the deal more and more unpopular. Here's hoping they drag it out till next month.

Party Boat posted:As I've said before, anyone who doesn't back it gets kicked out of the party. There might be some uncomfortable debate on some amendments but a rebel on a confidence bill is shooting themselves in the head. They can't afford to be kicking anyone out at the moment though. That's what makes this whole thing so unstable. May can't pull a three line whip on literally anything.

Kokoro Wish posted:Do try not to live under a constant blanket of fear, folks. It's almost as if the fact that it makes you real easy to influence and control is why establishments types, like alot of old fuckers in the intelligence agencies loved it and why they're actively engaging in promoting circumstances that will have that happen again. Also we have far more pressing issues to worry about right now, like the fact that Theresa May just paid a large enough bribe to the loving DUP large enough that it could cover the entire NHS pay and staffing crisis.
