Gbye grey sky Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Definitely looking like a Tory/DUP coalition government. Seems unlikely though that May will head that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collie Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Big strategic call for SInn Fein. If they were to take their seats (4-6) they could hold the balance of power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badly I imagine. Pound already dropping. Pound should strengthen after the dust settles though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote 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? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritChickx Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 The tories could form a majority with SNP but neither of them will agree to it.... or Labour could form a majority coalition with just about every other party ? its messed up either way lol.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
