Do you think she has been crap over the last 40 years or just recently?

There's no executive in NI at the moment. If the DUP start trying to shape NI policy using this situation, it would be prudent to be concerned for peace in the short term. (Dissident republicans will go a bit mental.)

As I've said elsewhere, given her track record, a return of the troubles wouldn't come as a surprise as May's final legacy. 🙁

The DUP website seems to be struggling at the moment. Their host thinks there's a DDOS attack 🙂

They're not friends with the Saudis as well?

Would Sinn Fein be tempted to turn up for a few critical counts?

When the dust has settled, the numbers are crunched and perhaps it seems that [i]Vote Labour - Get Tory[/i] happened in Scotland, costing JC support from the SNP, then is Kezia's career a little uncertain?

It's the DUP we're talking about here

Both SDLP and UU have been wiped out in Westminster.

i did wonder this it would be some top trolling if nothing else

Hard to say whether they think a Hard NI settlement helps or hinders them in their long term goal of a united Ireland but i think the allegiance to the Queen is the reason they wont ever attend
Pledge

I (name of Member) swear by Almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, her heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God.

Affirmation
I (name of Member) do solemnly, sincerely, and truly declare and affirm, that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, her heirs and successors, according to law.

NB there is a scottish version, one in welsh, scottish Gaelic and also Cornish but none for the irish mother tongue
SF will not be attending

Normal.

Sometimes you need to feel pain before you feel well.

I only have a basic knowledge of N Ireland politics, but my understanding is that the 1921 agreement that started the process of creating what is now the Republic of Ireland was only ever a 'temporary' fix. If things get funny with the Conservatives and the DUP divvying things up then Sinn Fein could I think call for the renegotiation of the division of the island of Ireland. I am happy to be corrected if I've got the wrong end the stick but Theresa May needs to tread very carefully in terms of what she goes round promising - but on the basis of her recent performances I think she has all the qualities needed to really foul things up. I hope her odious regime falls on its arse before she does real damage.
