Boo Khaki Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 9 minutes ago, flyingscot said: A United Ireland referendum relies on the NI Secretary, basically the UK Government, thinking it is likely to succeed. There is no process listed for this, so I doubt the Tories will be calling one soon. Surely it's a bit more complex from a ROI perspective than NI voting for a united Ireland, and ROI just going 'mon in then'? Is there even a majority in ROI in favour of a united Ireland? A few ROI residents I've spoken to want absolutely no part of the sectarian shitshow in the North. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see if they can continue holding on elsewhere or if the Lib Dems/Labour will take some off them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing the RoI needs is 1,800,000 bolshy northerners, about half of whom wouldn't want to be there. The political classes and the elite would have a shit fit if reunification was voted through, they haven't a strategy in place for it, far less want it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a while before we get there though... I'd be surprised if that happened, tbh. Like Fraser Macpherson in the West End, Derek Scott is popular locally.

Lib Dems picking up the retiring Lord Provost's seat. SNP - 2 (nc) LAB - 2 (nc) Went to school with that Lib Dem councillor. Absolute fucking oddball. Remember he did his work experience in the school library and just substituted his school tie for a normal one and went around demanding kids hand books back. Takes a special sort to become a Councillor. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems on the face of it a nice, heart-warming romantic idea, but the reality would be an unpopular, unworkable mess that would likely descend into bloodshed and mayhem 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the best public speaker, but he seems (on anecdotal evidence) to be a pretty good constituency MP and has maintained his stance while on the back benches. He's more of a long-term asset to the Party than LBC Look-at-me Lammy, that's for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 My concern about Labour in England is that making big gains in London and kind of stalling elsewhere will just make them more entrenched in London, more Londoncentric, and less willing to put together a compelling narrative for challenging London's dominance and actually 'levelling up' (rather than just talking about it, like the Tories). This has been a problem for successive Labour leaderships, though - not just this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
