I never dreamed that Corbyn could pull this off

Extraordinary

72%. Seventy-Two Percent.

If we have no government, we won't be leaving the EU. Article 50 can be revoked.

It can't. EU said so. None of the Cons and Lab want to go back in since it was voted to leave.

It's all down to the negotiations with different opinions of approach

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Time to boycott the BBC.

You know everyone on the right complains it's too left wing though yeah?

That's how you know the BBC is doing it's job properly

 

[kenada_blue]

So what now? Corbyn furiously ringing all other party leaders to join him in coalition?

Still won't have enough

 

[rascal]

Labour to form the next government after this upcoming coalition of Tories and DUP looks a good bet.

 

[Khalekan]

So what now? Corbyn furiously ringing all other party leaders to join him in coalition?

Not doable.

The Liberals are not having a coalition.

The DUP are more likely to support the Tories.

And of course Sinn Fein won't take their seats, making it so much easier fir the Tories to cobble together a totally regressive arangement with the DUP.

 

[hibbo'sclass]

Think this is a fair assessment.

Tories - arrogant, useless and took a kicking

Labour - great campaign but probably relieved they didn't get in so their pledges don't get tested

SNP- who cares? At least the bleating about another referendum should stop and they can get back to their Buckfast and smack

LibDems -who cares

DUP - I know nothing

Sinn Fein - ditto

Independent Unionist - ditto ditto

Green Party - can get back to tree hugging protests

UKIP - hahahahahahahaha

Are we facing the awful prospect of the DUP being brought into coalition to keep the Tories in power?

Wont happen just yet. They are to busy cleaning their uniforms, polishing their shoes and checking their drums and flutes. The 12th is too near to think of such political things. There's others things and hate figures on their minds.

It definitely can - if the UK government suggested that they were willing to remain, the EU would bend over backwards to prevent brexit from happening (we forget that it will adversely impact them too).

I'm not saying it will happen, but it's certainly possible.

The 12th....but I take your point

 

[kenada_blue]

Of who? SNP and Lib Dems?

I can see the Lib Dems snaking back with the Tories.

 

[roydo]

What an utter shambles.

Daft mare.

EU laughing their collective heads off at this.

They government won't though. Cons and Labour are for staying out of it. The only parties wanting to remain we're Lib Dems and SNP.
