Foxxed Posted 9 June 2017 Posted 9 June 2017 Would... would... would the Tories go into a coalition with the DUP. Tories lose what 12? DUP have 10. Here's what the Telegraph wrote about the DUP in 2015. Quote 6. What is the DUP's politics? The DUP bills itself as “right-wing in the sense of being strong on the constitution", but “to the left on social policy". The party's members show a strong leaning towards the Conservatives, Professor Jonathan Tonge notes, backing them by a ratio of seven to one over Labour. The DUP also back the Conservatives on areas like Europe, with Nigel Dodds insisting that any coalition they are involved in would need to offer an EU referendum. The DUP also share some common ground with Labour, with the party fiercely opposed to the bedroom tax/spare room subsidy. Mr Dodds recently indicated that the party would want it scrapped, saying: "We're very clear, of all the changes to the welfare system the bedroom tax is the most iniquitous one." 7. Any controversial aspects? The DUP, which has close links to the Dr Paisley's Free Presbyterian Church, has frequently sparked controversy for how it discusses homosexuality. This has led to David Cameron facing tough questions earlier this month during a Q&A when one audience member wanted him to vow not to go into coalition with the DUP because of its views on LGBT rights, something he refused to rule out. Jim Wells has resigned as the DUP's health minister after recently saying that "the gay lobby is insatiable, they don’t know when enough is enough", adding: "The facts show that you certainly don’t bring a child up in a homosexual relationship. That child is far more likely to be abused or neglected". Iris Robinson, a former DUP MP and wife of the current party leader, Peter Robinson, described homosexuality as “disgusting, loathsome, nauseating, wicked and vile”, as well as an “abomination” that could be “cured”. Mr Robinson supported his wife's remarks, saying: "It wasn’t Iris Robinson who determined that homosexuality was an abomination, it was The Almighty. This is the Scriptures. It is a strange world indeed where somebody on the one hand talks about equality, but won't allow Christians to have the equality, the right to speak, the right to express their views." 8. Any other controversies? The DUP also oppose the right of women to an abortion, with Jim Wells saying it should be ruled out for rape victims. The party has also called for a parliamentary debate on resinstating the death penalty. 9. What could the DUP want from the big Westminster parties? Nigel Dodds set out what the DUP needed in exchange for supporting a prospective government in a Guardian article back in March: an agreement to spend 2 per cent of Britain's annual income on defence, reversing the "bedroom tax" across the UK and beefing up the country's border controls. "As the woes of the euro demonstrate, in monetary policy the EU recognises the reality of radically different approaches by member states," he wrote. "This diversity should include a formal, treaty-based recognition that countries like the UK that wish to should be able to better protect their borders. Free movement of labour does not have to entail free access to benefits paid for by other countries’ taxpayers. "We would expect any government we’re called upon to sustain in the Commons to promptly and comprehensively tackle UK border integrity. And the urgency in this matter stems not least from our need to keep ourselves safe from terrorism sourced and inspired from abroad." Mr Dodds has also indicated that the DUP would not sit in coalition with the Scottish National Party, leaving the door open to a looser arrangement like supporting a prospective government for key votes on a confidence and supply basis. He said that Labour would need to offer an EU referendum in order to secure its support.

Foxxed Posted 9 June 2017 Posted 9 June 2017 Growing border and sovereignty problems in Northern Ireland. And a Sinn Fein resurgence. And the Tory party will only be in power because of the SNP losing seats in Scotland. Interesting times. Although they've been more Tory losses while this tab has been open and the Lib Dems could remove some more in the South West. I suspect I'll wake up to a Tory/DUP coalition though. Although 6 hours ago I way anywhere from a hung parliament to a 120 Tory majority so who knows!
Guest MattP Posted 9 June 2017 Posted 9 June 2017 It's the Labour candidate asking for the recount in Hastings so Rudd may have just held on.

AndWhat? Posted 9 June 2017 Posted 9 June 2017 So if Tories and DUP together works out at over 326 it's a Tory government? Is that right?
