Blessing in disguise? Couldn't resist sorry

I think that's likely yeah. In fact it's hastened the brake up of the UK tbh as Scotland didn't vote for this either and I suspect all this will be a boon to nationalists throughout the country.In the long run though this will hasten a United Ireland.

The Brightonian independence movement is certainly growing.I think that's likely yeah. In fact it's hastened the brake up of the UK tbh as Scotland didn't vote for this either and I suspect all this will be a boon to nationalists throughout the country.
You jest but this shit is very serious. People will possibly be killed as a result of all this.The Brightonian independence movement is certainly growing.

Yep but theres a lot of grief to be had before that. Personally I am concerned for my US born wife and son,
both have Irish passports but we all live in the North. Im waiting to see if this will be affected.
What happens if it was a tie? Speaker?
If the vote is tied - which is very unusual - in the Commons the Speaker has the casting vote. The Speaker casts his vote according to what was done in similar circumstances in the past. Where possible the issue should remain open for further discussion and no final decision should be made by a casting vote.
In the Lords, the Lord Speaker does not have a casting vote. Instead, the tied vote is resolved according to established rules (called the Standing Orders).
On a personal note this just reinforces the utter lack of giving a shit that this government have to the impact on Northern Ireland. The DUP in supporting this are a fecking disgrace. They have voted to implement a hard border essentially. Absolute pack of turds.
Am I right in saying that no deal would result in a hard border at Northern Ireland and therefore not upholding the Good Friday agreement and therefore starting negotiations on deals with the rest of the world while just after failing to uphold their end of an internationally binding deal.
Sorry for bringing the border issue up again
This is what we have to put up with in the north. This man is happy his party is costing NI money and jobs so they can have a hard border again. @balaks
But..but.. I thought the UK were the ones who were going to sign all these big trade deals when they left?The European Union and Japan will today officially sign the largest free trade deal either of them has ever negotiated.

isn't that Skinner as well?
That's a fair bit of a round up now PogueThat’s mainly satisfying as it gives two fingers to Trump but has to be a kick in the balls for team Brexit too. Who’d have thought that it’s easier to make trade deals when you represent a market of nearly a billion people?

I voted for Blair. It was a lesser of 2 evils thing. I’d have voted Hillary if I lived in America.Or Blair.

Lesser of 2 evils is such a no brainer. Blows my mind the way Trump got into power because so many Americans were too stubborn/stupid to follow this basic principle.
