Bear in mind that Sinn Fein do not take their seats in Parliament so a working majority now needs 323 as Sinn Fein have 5 MPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collie Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Tories need to move back towards the centre. The people have said that they do not want a hard Brexit or No Deal. What it shows is that the UK is deeply divded. 52:48 on the Brexit vote and now nearly 50:50 between Tory and parties of the left Those damn lefty Londoners - subsidising the rest of the country. Could they not just get it the hard right isolationist agenda? Don't they want to see their EU colleagues and jobs moves to Europe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amibovered Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 The Tories will probably do a deal with the DUP, that's all they ned to do, Labour would need everybody onside including the DUP, and they would never do a deal with Corbyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
