well that is that then the tories need them to be the Uk government but they wont take that into account in NI and will be going hard after them for the ashgate issue.
That is me convinced then –
TBH this is not even a political point it is just obvious that they have far more influence and it has changed things. It is just what it is irrespective of the parties involved.
lets not forget the cause of all this
The UUP, which has 16 seats in the Northern Ireland assembly compared with the 38 held by Foster’s Democratic Unionist party (DUP), has joined a cross-party effort to seek the first minister’s resignation over the fuel subsidy scheme.
A motion of no confidence in her leadership is being debated on Monday. It was tabled by the nationalist Social Democratic and Labour party (SDLP), with support from the UUP, Alliance party, Green party, Traditional Unionist Voice and People Before Profit Alliance.
Martin McGuinness, the deputy first minister, has called on Foster to step aside amid an investigation into the scheme, which offered financial incentives to farms, businesses and other non-domestic consumers to use biomass boilers that mostly burned wood pellets, as well as solar thermal and heat pumps.
I look forward to the Tory govt impartially deciding on this
To be fair I think a lot of politicians would have done as she has done and cling to power but lets not pretend it has not given the DUP more influence than if they were not needed by the government to pass legislation.
I realise you could just as I realise you dont really believe it
