What concessions would the Conservatives have to make, exactly, in order to acquire DUP support?
>>129140873
The DUP are more traditionally right wing than the fucking Conservatives. I doubt they'd have to bargain much to be honest.
>>129141209
Ah, I misunderstood the OP. The troubles would restart due to Sinn Fein taking offense to the formation of the coalition, not due to any discriminatory policies that DUP would seek to enact.
NOOOO
NOOOOOOOOOOO
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A UNITED BLACK MUSLIM IRELAND UNDER SHARIA LAW
THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING
>>129141837
It's possible the DUP could push down on seperatism from a position of power in Parliament which might upset people.
Or they could request certain guarantees from the Tories in order to get their support - like a promise for no border polls.
>DUP win the election for us
>Their retardation continues to help Sinn Féin
>We lose Northern Ireland anyway
NI has been doomed since the GFA. DUP were just chemo.
Anyone see any 'happenings' in Ulster in the near future?
>>129143156
Nope.
It'll probably join the Republic of Ireland in our lifetime unless there is some absolute political and demographic miracle for Unionists.
Right now, even a majority of catholics are pro-UK, but that's due to stability more than anything else. Tory austerity, DUP autism and brexit are not at all stable, and more middle grounders will drift to nationalists. (NI also voted pro-remain.)
There won't be a new troubles, since the paramilitaries are all just drug dealers now.
We surrendered the clay with the Good Friday Agreement, but it's a pity to see it go.
>>129140873
>in order to acquire DUP support?
DUP takes orders from Trump.
I'm not even kidding, the Paisleys are very close to the Trumps. Paisly Jr. met Trump and Pence on St. Paddys for meetings too.
Interesting times.
>>129145172
I believe Gerry Adams met him quite some time ago too.
>>129145448
>I believe Gerry Adams met him quite some time ago too.
Trump refused to meet Adams recently.
I think he went off him after 911 and all that shit.
>>129145940
Probably.
Adams is in a weird spot.
Forever Sinn Féin have been condemned by loyalists for not taking their seats in westminister, but now that might be what wins the tories the election.
>>129140405
Will tories and DUP be enough to get a majority? You need over 325 in your caucus to get a majority right?
>>129140405
how can a miscalculation like this be seen as anything other than sabotage?
Who the fuck believes polls? Does anyone believe this was an accident?
>>129143156
>>129147388
mfw the cons already had a majority on their own and couldn't even make it work
>>129147388
325 MPs (member of parliament) in parliament, yes. DUP have 10 MPs, tories need 315 for them both to be 325.
>>129147712
Does Canada have FPTP or a PR system?
>>129147388
Sinn Fein don't take their seats so you can reduce the actual number needed
>>129147858
FPTP. Honestly the most retarded voting system. Thanks a lot Brits.
Give me proportional d'Hondt method any day
>>129147712
Yeah in hindsight it was a bad decision to call for an election, but immediately after it was called it looked pretty smart, like labor was going to be wiped out.
>>129148007
>wanting continental systems
Lad, I..
>>129147948
322 when u factor in Sinn Fein abstention.
However hasn't there always been the rumour that if DUP propped up the Tories, SF would take their seats? I still don't think they would but I have heard that for a long time.
>>129147388
>Will tories and DUP be enough to get a majority?
That's the projection yes.
Then Trump can use Paisley Jr as his inside man in the DUP (and therefore British gov).
>>129148034
Yeah now May looks like a retard and she's about to get btfo by her own party just like that other cunt witch Thatcher.
Based Corbyn ran a great campaign
>>129148034
>in hindsight
She could have made it work, easily, but she was being a nigger during the campaign. Whilst Comrade Corbyn was raising hell she was refusing interviews. She got complacent and as a result she lost hard.
>>129148128
wtf i love majorities that get 100% of the power with 36% of the vote now!
>>129148536
How else would you get anything done?
>>129148330
Will the Tories keep May? Or will someone else take over? From an outside perspective the Tories would benefit by getting someone who legitimately wanted Brexit and has a plan on what they can do with Brexit and how to proceed.
My body is ready. Bring it on cunts.
>>129148634
>coalitions don't get things done
Remind me what happened in your own country btwn 2010-2015
>>129148184
>SF would take their seats?
Gerry Adams said earlier there is no way in hell he's taking the seats, even if the DUP go into a coalition with May.
The DUP will get May over the finish line.
>>129148939
A huge amount of squabbling, one of the parties, our second oldest, being BTFO'd, possibly forever, and in the end neither party got what they wanted and the country went to shit.
>>129148996
The Tories had 330 seats. They were already over the finish line. They still couldn't rally all the right wing retards together
>>129148996
THEY HAVEN'T GONE AWAY, YOU KNOW?
>>129149145
The coalition held together for the entire time. 5 years. That's impressive. Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems getting btfo later notwithstanding. Anyone willing to work with right wing retards deserves to be punished by the electorate
>>129149252
May lost her 20 point lead when she refused to be seen on TV, she honestly believed if she just stayed locked in a cupboard for a few months she'd keep her 20 point majority, it didn't work that way.
>>129149473
>May lost her 20 point lead when she refused to be seen on TV,
Yeah even I heard about that over here. Seems really dumb. Reminescent of Clinton putting out all these stories about how she doesn't even think of Trump anymore. Politicians always need to stay engaged. I bet if she would have showed up to the debate, even if she didn't perform that well she would probably have still done well enough to increase her majority slightly.
>>129149473
I'm talking about before the election. May called it because her majority was too slim to get shit done. The Cons have a hard time cobbling together all the right wing retards on the fringes. Have you ever seen the rural retards that the Cons elect in rural England? John Major had some of the same problems after 92
>>129147562
Haha. Those are the lads that the UK needs to send in to the shitholes to clean out the filth.
>>129150066
similar to the problems Republicans have with the "freedom coalition"
>>129142413
I'm from the the south of Ireland. I agree we need to stop the hate between us and destroy (((((Sinn Fein )))). "Brits out " sorry did you mean More brits in
>>129148939
Sure sight fucking more than Canada
>>129150306
pay your denbts
Hah, I remember that little mini me Paisley mugging us off for having a minority government.
You got yourselves a fucking hung parliament, now I am laughing at him.
>>129151055
Bit of a difference between a hung parliament, where we'll always get a powerful government in the end and a shambles of a rainbow coalition.
>>129147712
>mfw the cons already had a majority on their own and couldn't even make it work
this vote just the remainers crying and bitching about Brexit
they still lost (again)
>>129140405
>mfw when the DUP will only agree to a coalition if Sinn Fein is declared a terrorist organization and all registered members are executed
>>129151963
DUP is for soft Brexit so they don't lose their rights to trade with Ireland.
Looked up "Ulster" when I watched Peaky Blinders. Apperantly Great Britain still keeps part of Ireland as a colony. Lmao
>>129153008
its not a colony reeeeeeeeeee
>>129151672
Well our government don't call an election in which they get BTFO so at least we have that I guess.
Someone give me a quick rundown on the results, didn't the Conservatives fail to acquire majority of the seats? Why did they win anyway?
>>129151963
this vote was supposed to deliver May a stronger majority to negotiate brexit
>>129153913
And now a bunch of radical protestants in Morn Iron will be our government, whilst you have a gay president.
>>129155223
Working with the DUP is not a good thing, anon. I know they seem based, but the DUP are the equivalent of a downie in SS gear.
>>129155223
>Morn iron
Learn to spell nigga
>>129153940
>didn't the Conservatives fail to acquire majority of the seats? Why did they win anyway?
because the ultra right party in Northern Ireland can basically do a deal with May and form a coalition to get her the number she needs
>>129155508
Ugh, it's Ulster Scots, air yea oppressing air celchair?
>>129155478
Better than Cerebral palsy in Soviet gear.
>>129155996
CHIPPIN away at tae culchure
>>129155510
but dont the north irish want a shitty watered down Brexit, nothing like Farage would have wanted?
>>129156709
IT IS OLD BUT IT IS BEAUTIFUL
>>129157125
>but dont the north irish want a shitty watered down Brexit
they just don't want a hard border between north and south, it would seriously hamper trade between the two
>>129158543
They will probably scupper breggsit jsut to have irish gibs.
>>129140405
i thought of this too
the IRA might be butthurt about the coalition and start chimping out
>>129160982
They recently killed a rozzer.
