bawfuls posted:So the right wing party in Northern Ireland is happy to caucus with the Tories, but the left wing party in Northern Ireland has a hard policy of protesting the UK and thus doesn't take their seats. This has the effect of making it easier for Conservatives to form a government. I dunno if UK politics are that reductive.

Itzena posted:The Tories will probably try to run a minority government i.e. nothing will happen. Oh that's interesting. I didn't know that was possible. So the PM doesn't have to win a 50%+1 vote of the MPs or anything, they can be PM with a plurality and then try to pass laws with votes from people that wouldn't vote for her to lead?

They aren't just going to Westminster. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/37860...y-dup-majority/ quote:The party confirmed that its MPs will travel to Westminster for the House of Commons induction day for newcomers and will sign up for office space, register for staff allowances and expenses – despite their century-long policy of abstention in the UK Parliament. Do they usually do that stuff too? If there was ever a reason, preventing May from restarting the Northern Ireland conflict just to prop up her doomed government is a great one.

Don't y'all worry that now that Trump has shown that anything protected by only norms will fail, May might just be like "Nah, I'll just stay PM for 5 years even though everyone hates me and wants me to quit."

https://twitter.com/carolecadwalla/status/978318122305409025 Bottom of the article talks about a conspiracy to violate the UK's election spending laws. Still shocked that the UK government is going ahead with a Brexit no one in any major party wants rather than seizing on any excuse like this to declare the old referendum tainted and stop the economic suicide.

Oh they got permission from the European Court to abandon Brexit, no muss no fuss? Why are they still arguing? This idea of doing another referendum based on Remain vs. May's deal seems like a good fig leaf for it too.
