The DUP seem very dated and its sad that NI are still voting down these lines of religion with what seems little choice of parties than before. I think they have some similar held views to a section of the tory party and concerning they bring this kind of stuff to the front, when cameron, osborne etc had really brought the tory party forward. They have every right to form a government together. directly or indirectly, they were democratically elected and dictating to NI that we think their representatives are unworthy, or worse worthy of derision doesnt help with NI tensions either.

Id like May to regain a semblance of respect and say they will use them to get us into a position where the country can continue on a steady footing in preparation for elections in october. Then quit.

For Government to operate a deal has to be done....their views on some controversial matters wont come into it, not that it would have, but Ruth has confirmed that!

It gives a working majority of 13. Cameron had a majority of 12 in 2015.

Think she will last longer than most people think, maybe upto brexit 2019, because a change of leader surely means an election.

She made the biggest misjudgement in modern British political history, only Brexit could conceivably be worse. I've always thought it meaningless when people talk about something or someone being Prime Ministerial but TM has helped me understand a little better what it is to not be Prime Ministerial. Crying yourself to sleep over a mess all of your own doing is not very Prime Ministerial. It's totally meaningless to compare her minority government with DC's majority.

Of course its a mess now, but a Government has to be formed and move forward . We will see a softening stance on a lot of things to get the Queens speech though.
 We are stuck will TM for now,so it's up to her to step up to the Brexit plate and show how good she is as a dead women walking.

Nothing new, many change their minds when they start to earn a few quid. I'd vote for the communist party if I was 18 and I was promised free uni compared to £30k+ debt.....

Thank you for your efforts, good people will always be repulsed by the ignorance. Education will defeat all forms of bigotry, including Conservatism.

No, in your view good people are only those that have the same views as you which is clearly bullshit. As the graph shows as people start to earn a few quid and they are more successful in life their views change, so I'm guessing that makes you a failure?

Maybe we were looking at a different graphs? If not, your statement makes no sense. Anyway I have enough wealth to surf when there's waves and ski twice a year, that's plenty. I wouldn't want more.

Looks like we can safely add completely unnecessary guessing games to the list of things you are terrible at.

Yes you have made plenty of guesses about me over the last couple of years based on the assumption I am right leaning....some would might be correct others have been wrong....
