Sidebar, John major said Tories should never make coalitions with the ulster unionist extremists, amusing by the time of Cameron the Tories were to the right of the Unionists and more radical.
Well we tried that with Nick Clegg and failed. Now he works for Facebook.
Originally posted by Blakemoreyeah the DUP were betrayed amusingly by madder people than them... and never will trust the Tores again, Sinn Fein had the door opened by this for their present success in the North, well, that and the Tories treatment of Ireland post Brexit.
Yeah and May tried to compromise with the DUP and failed.2016 was a hell of a year. They gambled on Brexit and everyone lost. Except for me anyone else who made bets on those disasters.

we'll see, the rapidity of the UK's coming decline may leave him no choice... oh Brexiteers and Tories, what have you done?
Originally posted by Blakemorelol, most of those hate us too. You're to young to remember the Cod Wars or the belief we stole Oil from them... I'm not.

We've been over this. Ruling out the Tory Bliar victories, Labour have only been in power for 11 years since Clement Attlee.
So even GB News (right wing outlet) is reporting Labour is 30points ahead ! :
I really dont see how Labour can lose now. Rishi would have had a chance, but Truss has no chance. I mean shes literally crashed the economy in weeks of taking over.
Originally posted by Darth ThorOh, Labour can lose... Labour are great at losing; mainly because the British people are very stupid and can easily be manipulated, through greed, racism and patriotism to doff caps to their "betters" and vote against their best interests.

I think he meant we had a referendum on past the post (a condition Nick Clegg put in going into the coalition). And we lost that referendum badly Iirc.
I would love a change to proportional representation (I think its called). Then we would all feel free to vote for whoever we liked knowing it would count.
