British General Election Results

[Lucy Hamilton]

Yes, I know. Well actually their two defections became one actual seat in a General Election.

But, UKIP was always going to nose dive, it's good for the Tories.

Because the general election uses a first-past-the-post system, there is no hope for multiple parties. Small parties cannot grow and governments will always gain power with a minority of votes. This type of voting will put pressure to form two parties; right and left and as close to the center as possible to get votes.

The BBC World Service say that Theresa May going to Buckingham Palace at 12.30PM to tell Queen she can form a Government with the DUP (Democratic Unionist Party)

As it stands the Conservatives have 318 seats, this will be 319 seat soon as Kensington and Chelsea are still counting and it's a safe Tory seat.

Therefore the Conservatives 319 + DUP 10 = 329 = The Conservatives will be able to get through the Queen's Speech and also pass a Budget etc.

Sinn Fein have 7 seats but won't take their seats as they have an Abstentionist Policy because they won't swear allegiance to the British Queen.

Which is bad news. It means the DUP will just ask for stuff to screw the catholics and the Tories will screw everyone else.

Well quite a lot of Socially Conservative Catholics vote for and support the DUP, their former leader and First Minister Peter Robinson made a point to reach out to Socially Conservative Catholics, Sinn Fein being Left-Wing and very Socially Liberal.

I think in Northern Ireland it's for some time been less about hardcore religion as a reason to support a party and more about actual policies in supporting a party, which is how it should be, people have moved on from supporting a party simply based upon their religion, you know Roman Catholics MUST support either Sinn Fein or the SDLP and Protestants MUST support the DUP or the UUP regardless of whether they agree with the party policies.

Socially Conservative Catholics for example are anti-Abortion, the DUP are anti-Abortion, Sinn Fein and the SDLP are pro-Abortion, so it's logical on just that one issue that Socially Conservative Catholics would vote for the DUP.

The results in Northern Ireland now show there are only two parties there the DUP and Sinn Fein, the SDLP have lost all their seats and the UUP have lost all their seats and the Alliance Party (Northern Ireland party affiliated with UK Liberal Democrat Party) have been annihilated.

The DUP won the South Belfast seat off the SDLP and won back the South Antrim seat from the UUP.

The Independent is Lady Sylvia Hermon who used to be in the UUP from 1998-2010 and then she left the party in 2010 and has sat as an Independent since.

Well, there are still hard core supporters on both sides. I knew a protestant who voted for Sinn Fein. Northern Ireland is changing, but it's still a pain in the ass full of problems. I think there was a big protest because people played football on a Sunday, I mean, they're kind of backwards over there.

"I think there was a big protest because people played football on a Sunday,"

Well for whatever reason, at least just protests are better than how they were during what they call The Troubles beginning in 1968 and ending in 1998, where almost on a daily basis for 30 years they were randomly shooting each other, I mean they even had chaos when burying their dead with random masked men turning up and shooting into crowds of mourners etc.

3,600 approx were killed on both sides, mainly retaliation killings, the * IRA or the INLA would kill a Protestant and in retaliation the ** UDA or the UVF would kill a Catholic, rinse and repeat.

* IRA = Provisional Irish Republican Army, INLA = Irish National Liberation Army, both Catholic, Irish Republican Paramilitary groups..

** UDA = Ulster Defence Association, UVF = Ulster Volunteer Force, both Protestant, Ulster Loyalist Paramilitary groups.

I think for some time the Falls Road in Belfast was the most dangerous street in the world.

Both the UDA and the UVF and the IRA and the INLA are completely disarmed.

However still in existence are The Real IRA who formed in 1997, those members of the IRA who refused to accept any Peace Deal and instead went rogue and have committed random atrocities since 1998, beginning with the Omagh Bombing which killed 29 people and injured 220 others.

You really are a vile bigot aren't you? Trashing the people of Northern Ireland, just because some people might want to keep Sunday as a day of rest and reflection doesn't make them "Medieval" you little bigot you.

Did you support ETA?

Labour have lost their 3rd General Election IN A ROW


(even though two thirds of the 'young commie idiot vote' turned out to the promise of free tuition paid for by the magic marxist money tree )

May won the most seats as well as that oh so important (tee hee hee) POPULAR VOTE and will of course be forming the next gvmnt with support from the DUP.

Phewwwwww.

 

[Tilly]

What will ordinary English people think when they realize that the Orange Order of Ulster Protestant sectarian bigots will be calling the shots in their government.

Well the British have had Conservative + UUP (Ulster Unionist Party) before.

These parties are very different to how they were in the 1970s etc, for a very long time now in Northern Ireland the DUP have been in a Coalition with Sinn Fein, the latter Deputy First Minister an actual former Commander of the IRA Martin McGuinness.

Emotionally mature people put the past in the past and move on and shake hands and say "let's try and work together on what we can agree on" the DUP who were linked with the UDA and the UVF the Protestant versions of the IRA sat in a room and at a table with Sinn Fein the political wing of the IRA and they shook hands and formed a Coalition.

If people held the hate and bigotry that you Far Leftists do refering to people as "sectarian bigots" then the murders would still be happening, there would have been NO Northern Ireland Peace Deal.

Please stop writing untruths; the DUP is not the Ulster Unionist Party, they are Paisleyites, homophobes, anti-Catholic, anti-Irish language, anti-European Union (while the majority of N.Ireland voters are for Remain). The DUP have not moved on and the power-sharing Authority in Stormont came to a halt because Arlene Foster (DUP) did not have the courtesy to treat Martin McGuinness (whom you mentioned) with common respect. They are members of the Protestant Orange Order and ordinary English people have nothing in common with their fundamentalist hate.

^ Ignore the Far Left Sectarian Hate Monger, gibbering and gibbering about the DUP while ignoring that Martin McGuinness was a Commander in the IRA and admitted himself he gave orders to have people murdered.

Far Left = Terrorist Supporters, be they IRA terrorists, Hamas terrorists or ISIS terrorists.

Consider yourself on my 'ignore' list.

I'm not bothered, sorry you cannot handle reality.

People can also read your comments in this thread where you played down Jeremy Corbyn meeting with IRA terrorists and him supporting the Hamas terrorists.

Welcome to Eloy's ignore list - you are in good company

The ordinary English people have no concept of the trouble they are in if the Tories can form a government only with the help of a Protestant, anti-Catholic, homophobic bigots such as are members of the DUP. How that government can be balanced and objective about N. Ireland and relations with the Republic of Ireland while it depends on the DUP defies belief.

Well this is what the British are getting the Conservatives with the DUP, so they'll just have to get used to that because that's the Government they are getting.

Well there are certain issues around this. What have the DUP offered? They were certainly quick to come to an agreement. Which means the DUP didn't really want much other than agreement on how they can fuck over catholics in Northern Ireland. They probably both have agreements on most things anyway, so what did the DUP ask for? That's the main thing. Will it be that they don't screw over the NHS, no chance. So five years of the Tories destroying institutions and Labour spending the next five years being useless. Better not move to the UK any time soon.

The Dup will do all they can not to have to deal with Jeremy Corbyn as PM.

I'd feel the same.

 

[Tilly]

I wonder if the leftards will still riot (as they promised they would if Commie Corbyn lost)?

Exclusive: MI5 opened file on Jeremy Corbyn amid concerns over his IRA links
MI5 opened file on Jeremy Corbyn amid concerns over his IRA links

Claire Newell Hayley Dixon Luke Heighton Harry Yorke,online education editor 19 MAY 2017 • 9:00PM


MI5 opened a file on Jeremy Corbyn amid concerns over his links to the IRA, The Telegraph has discovered.

The Labour leader was investigated over fears that he could have been a threat to national security at a time when he was supporting convicted terrorists and campaigning for a unified Ireland.

The revelations come as a Telegraph investigation reveals Mr Corbyn’s full links to the IRA, including his support for one of the Balcombe Street gang who waged a 14-month bombing campaign across south-east England, and his links to the bomb maker believed to have been behind the Hyde Park and Regent's Park devices.

Mr Corbyn also shared a platform with a wanted IRA killer and John McDonnell, his shadow Chancellor, claimed that the pair of them used to “pin people against the wall” in the House of Commons to lobby them on behalf of Ireland.

It was against the background of his support for the Republican cause that MI5 began looking into Mr Corbyn’s activities, and a source close to the investigation confirmed that a file had been opened on him by the early Nineties.

The source told The Telegraph: "If there was a file on someone, it meant they had come to notice. We opened a temporary file and did a preliminary investigation. It was then decided whether we should open a permanent file on them".

A file would be opened on "someone who sympathises with a certain group, or is friends with a specific person" and the purpose was to “assess whether the person was a threat", the source added.


The Metropolitan Police Special Branch was also monitoring the future Labour leader at around the same time, but it is unclear if the intelligence was shared....

It has also been claimed that the London Labour Briefing, a magazine which Mr Corbyn sat on the board of and frequently contributed to along with Mr McDonnell and Diane Abbott, was being monitored by the security services.

One reader, purporting to be an MI5 worker, wrote to the magazine on its 25th anniversary claiming that it had been their job for 25 years to monitor the publication.


Mr Corbyn has been questioned over his links to republicans and during his leadership campaign he refused five times during a BBC interview to condemn IRA murders.

Oh dear...

The Balcombe Street Gang and Corbyn's long association with the IRA
It was one of the IRA’s most notorious units whose bloody bombing campaign was only brought to an end during a five-day siege that was broadcast live on television and was watched by millions.

But until now it was not known that a member of the Balcombe Street Gang found support from Jeremy Corbyn, who campaigned on his behalf as he was serving 11 life sentences for his part in the killing of 16 people.

The revelation is part of a series of links between the Labour leader and the IRA during a long association uncovered by a Telegraph investigation.

At the height of the Troubles, Mr Corbyn was a regular face at republican protest events and attended events to honour dead terrorists, it can be revealed.

On one such occasion it was reported in An Phoblacht, a monthly newspaper published by Sinn Fein, that he shared a platform with an IRA volunteer who was wanted over the killing of an SAS soldier and whose extradition had been requested by the British Government.

At another event commemorating Bloody Sunday, shadow Chancellor John McDonnell is recorded in a republican newspaper as bragging to crowds that in the Lobby of the Commons he and Mr Corbyn had “pinned people up against the wall and said ‘do you know what has happened in Ireland in your name?’”....

Between 2004 and 2008, the Iranian-backed Mahdi Army militia, led by Muqtada al-Sadr, killed at least 70 British soldiers, not to mention thousands of Iraqi civilians. Last February, the man who might become the next leader of the Labour Party shared a platform with al-Sadr’s British representative.

Jeremy Corbyn was helping Sayyed Hassan al-Sadr celebrate “the all-encompassing revolution,” the 35th anniversary of the ayatollahs’ takeover in Iran. In his talk, entitled “The Case for Iran,” he called for the immediate scrapping of sanctions on the country, which had not then promised to restrict its nuclear programme, attacked its colonial exploitation by British business and called for an end to its “demonisation” by the West....

mm. Nobody really believes this any more. Astonishing as it might seem he believes that it is better to talk than kill. he has been ahead of the curve on all of this.
