http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/restud/rdz003 for @Barnfred 55. I paraphrase, but they basically wanted to look at the impact of immigration on local communities (in the US) over a prolonged period. They reasoned that most analyses looked at things from a short-term perspective, but few looked over many decades at the impact on the communities. They found that counties with higher immigration had lower unemployment, higher wages and lower poverty levels than similar counties with lower immigration.
 
It should now be obvious why May wanted and needed a bigger majority, the Brexit vote let her down in 2017. And evidence enough people have changed their minds. If it mattered, people would have backed May with a majority back then.

I think the GE was mainly evidence of Theresa May’s lack of personality. There wasn’t much between the main partys’ policies on Brexit. I think people were voting for different reasons.

It’s never over until the larger lady sings. If Brexit mattered the electorate would have given May and the Conservatives a much larger majority, much of what has happened in the negotiations since 2017 is direct result of being a minority government. It simply allows opponents of any policy a greater platform to voice their objections, and this is correct, democracy in its purest form.
 
She was but why would that make a Labour MP choose to sit on the bench beside MPs from a raving right wing party?

You don’t see Scottish Labour MPs sat beside the Scot Nats....nor Welsh ones alongside Plaid Cymru just because they were born in those countries.

And at least those two parties are left leaning so Labour would have sommat in common with them......Labour has nowt in common with the DUP and in fact the DUP hate the Labour Party.

That is why I always think it odd when Hoey sits with them.
Yeah it's odd.

It's not about the legality at this point, it's all about the politics. Clearly nothing has changed from the original deal, so for those who have fought so strongly to oppose before to back it now suggests they aren't interested in the details, it's all about positioning and what has been offered to them behind closed doors.

If they were concerned with the 'will of the people' and 'honouring democracy's and they vote for this deal now, after pummeling it for months, it's nothing but subterfuge.
