UK Election Thread

[CurtisOliver]

I can honestly say I had no clue who dup was. I didn't have time to find out either.
The tories, dup and Brexit sound like a dangerous and unpleasant combination IMO. The Dup make the BNP look more reasonable and that's saying something. It makes me seriously wonder why May wants to form a coalition with them. :thinking:

She'll do anything to stay in power, including leading the terrorist sympathizer coalition of chaos she was going on about the whole campaign...

 

[CurtisOliver]

I'll say it again. Scary times ahead.
Thanks for sharing some details about dup. :beer:

Sounds very familiar to me.

Yeah, she shares a bunch of similarities with Shillary. Although, May ran an even worse campaign.

 

[CurtisOliver]

Want to move back to the UK Diachi?

Want to move back to the UK Diachi?

Nope. :beer:

 

[CurtisOliver]

Shame, I was hoping we could form a coalition. :crackup:

Shame, I was hoping we could form a coalition. :crackup:

What would we call it?

Surely it wouldn't be as good as the "Conservative and Unionist Negotiating Team" that will be heading off to Brexit negotiations soon? :crackup:

I'm not sure I'd want to move back either..

Edit: wouldn't be able to anyway my wife is European...

:crackup: Yeah, wives have a habit of doing such things. You might actually get moved, but you'd never live it down.

 

[grainde]

True but I actually meant she wouldnt be able to get residence in the UK after brexit, so it would be pointless.

 

[paul1598419]

Who knows. Brexit is still just a plan right now. Many things could happen to derail it. My understanding is that most voters in the UK are no longer in favor of it or weren't to begin with. Silly that they didn't take the time to vote on it when they had the opportunity, but it isn't a done deal just yet.

 

[trencheel303]

The vote was cast 52/48. Don't be undemocratic. I'm not happy with today's result, but I respect the democratic process and we got what we voted for. A coalition farce but I'd rather that than labour :/

 

[Benm]

Agreed, if you have a referendum respect it's outcome, even if the margin is not that big.

I'm sure you'd be annoyed if it was 52% remain and they found some loophole to exit anyway.

As for the somewhat unusual coaltion: i guess that's needed to speed things along, another election would take a lot of time. I have no idea what DUP thinks it will gain from it though, they can be ditched as soon as article 50 has been invoked, or the brexit negtiotations are completed. They'll probably get nothing done.
