I get that the Torties chose to deal with the DUP but someone over there yet like them or they wouldn’t have the MP’s that they do. That part isn’t down to the Torries.
Unfortunately for you you’re part of the UK which has voted leave whether NI did or not. Scotland are in the same position and I feel for you all as a remain voter but that’s just how it is I’m afraid. There’s no way around it for you and that sucks.
I don’t know exactly how NI is governed but I’m sure it’s democratic and if the majority want change in hay rights and abortion then surely you can do something about it? Or is it up to the PM to step in? I do t know as I said.
I have no problem with the overall vote, my problem is with the DUP completely ignoring their own electorate.
No, unfortunately in N. Ireland democracy is a strange beast. The DUP are able to use a petition of concern veto which blocks legislation being introduced. During the most recent vote on same sex marriage in the assembly 53 voted in favour 52 against and still the DUP were able to block implementation. Welcome to democracy in N. Ireland in the 21st Century.
Corbyn is probably behind the whole thing.
