UK Politics Thread IX: The Masses Against the Classes

[Ifreann]

It's a little impressive how "This is where we stand, and that is not going to change" is still so open to interpretation, even after well over two years of repeating it.

"This is where we stand. We will not move from this position."

"Ah, you say that you will not move from that position, but from which perspective do you judge this position? You seem to be standing still, but in reality, you are moving through space at breakneck speeds on a big rock! So much for the tolerant left."

"..."

"Dammit, I warned you about these Englishmen!"

Perfidious Albion and their arbitrary frames of reference strike again.

[Ostroeuropa]

Isn't there a legal time-limit on that, just as there is for any other political elections in the UK?!?

the UK is a complere memeland. i would not be surprised in the slightest if there was no limit whatsoever.

e: it seems like the time limit is for how long a specific parliament lasts. doesn't seem to be anything in there about how long you can go without a parliament. lol.

Petition UK government with;

"We know you are watching Europe, please send help. We are being held captive by incompetent and arrogant toffs."

If they don't vote for it, completely remove northern Ireland from UK infrastructure, no government funding and any resources that they rely on the UK to provide cut.

you realize that this is probably illegal, rather immoral and will probably start some kind of conflict

like you sound like a fucking super villain

Or someone who hasnt got a fucking clue but eh, thats the norm on this forum with my home.

Prime example is literally this entire thread.

That cunt Jolene Bunting lost her seat! Ahahah get fucked you bigoted bitch.

And in other good news, i am delighted that Alliance has done soo well this election all chuffed so i am even if the DUP and Sinn Fein didnt take the hits i hoped they might have. Im also happy about PBP doing well too.

In my home district in belfast People Before Profit have 1 seat, Sinn Fein have 2. 4 more are up for grabs, i'd say either 3 or all of them will go to Sinn Fein. I'd be over the moon if the SDLP or Alliance grabbed a seat, or in the formers case, keeping their seat.

Saw the voting tally board, her name was on it. Got 350 votes in first preference, then another 20-25 preference votes in the second round of voting.

Being a bigoted and moronic cunt who got suspended as councillor for being well a bigoted and moronic cunt, too much of one for the TUV.

[The Nihilistic view]

In the worst form it exists in a no deal. If Parliment as a whole had swallowed the bile and said it's free trade deal time something like that would have happened. Last Autum the EU made sounds that something similar to the recent Canadian trade deal could work. The alternative exits most certainly the problem is the number of politicians who will do everything not to actually leave properly.

free trade deal cannot happen without a solution to the northern ireland problem

do you have such a solution?

You could have a common trade area similar to the common travel area we already share. You could operate customs on a similar basis to VAT. Probably a couple others I can't recall off the top of my head involving technological solutions.

You don't need a backstop for that. The backstop seems to be designed to enable the EU to dictate whatever they want after that is signed. Given how they won't pre agree the rights of nationals ( which incidentally is fairly funny given the grief May got for holding out on that as long as she did) I have no reason to expect given the whip hand they would be any different with ending the backstop without most of what they wanted.

To be honest to get a deal done in good time I think you need both sides to have a bit of risk.

Matt Collins from PBP topped the polls in my home area:



Thats neat

I doubt Alliance's Liam is gona get a seat, only 213 first preference votes including myself, the other 4 seats are bound to go to Sinn Fein, maybe SDLP's Doherty can get a seat if he gets enough cross votes.

So my vote is gona go from Alliance to Greens, then to the SDLP since PBP was my second preference.

Another possible solution would be to set NI up as a special economic zone with ridiculously low corporate tax rates, no regulations and a ruling council composed of the NI heads of the major companies that move there.

Should have told the DUP to fuck off and put a sea border in place but that would require the Tories having a spine.

Or they could just join the rest of Ireland which basically did that already.

Where by "possible solution" you mean "impossible nonsense idea".

How would this solve the inevitable disagreements with AR15's and RPG-7's that the Catholics and Protestants of that area will host?
