They really need to get weirdos like them, Mason and the Ewings in the bin. Only absolute loser outfits like the Greens actively purge their membership on issues such as abortion, trans rights etc. which are of tertiary importance to their party's supposed purpose. But this is all rather strange to me as for twelve years the media has insisted that SNP representatives were slavishly in thrall to whatever the party leader said. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your view on where things will go@Jacksgranda ? And where would you like the the end outcome to be? Depends on whether there's a deal or not. No deal is not an option. I'm not overly struck on this latest proposal, but it would be better than no deal. Sinn Fein will continue to agitate for a border poll - despite the lack of enthusiasm for one south of the border - but a united Ireland is a long way off. One lesson that has been learned from the Brexit referendum is to have detailed proposals worked out and agreed beforehand, something similar to what the Scottish Government did for the Independence referendum, although little good that did them! The whole of the UK staying in the customs union would have been better, but I don't suppose that was ever going to happen. Actually, I was happy enough with the backstop, despite it being decried from the rooftops by unionists, it would have kept things ticking over during the transition period and would, hopefully, have been got rid of during the further negotiations. I said before that I think the DUP over played their hand. They could have gone along with a very soft Brexit bearing in mind that NI voted to Remain, I don't think they have represented NI well, despite getting 1 billion pounds, not all of which has been forthcoming and /or spent yet, afaik. I know they campaigned for Leave, but really should have taken on board the vote in NI, while agreeing that it was a UK wide vote and result, instead of throwing their weight behind Brexit, they had little input into the negotiations as far as I could see, although I suppose they always had the option of stopping supporting the government. How would I like to see it end? I'm coming round to a second referendum on whatever deal is cobbled together and take it from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
