I think you're correct to some extent, yes. When the parties are the same on Brexit, what happens then? And a better Tory campaign as you say. Not so obvious Jezza gets an easy win next time.

I live in the North, and while the DUP and Tories making a deal is a bad thing in my eyes, I can't see us plunging back into major violence here unless the DUP are allowed to use their position to openly discriminate against Catholics again and an open border in Ireland post-Brexit is an absolute necessity for the peace process.
Listen to Gerry Adams speech post election result and he has a very concilatory tone.
You can't have an open border in Ireland and free movement from the EU. One or the other but both can't be an option.
They just need to find the magic border tree.
Border needs moved back across the Irish Sea where it belongs.
Sajid Javid stays on as Minister for sweetheart deals for Surrey Council.
Surely its the eu fault
I am not clear on Irish politics mate, i have watched a few documentaries in the past few nights and read a few articles and i am learning, but i'm not quite confident in my own knowledge yet to comment fully. I stand by the statement that free movement of people from the EU + an open border in Ireland is a disaster waiting to happen though.
And yet the DUP don't want a special deal for the North
What are you on about?
Obviously if the south of Ireland remain in the EU, there is freedom of movement, so for example anyone from Romania or wherever can come to the south and with an open border can go straight into the north and technically are then in the UK.
I may have misunderstood the term 'open border' but i thought he meant no controls or checks between north and southern Ireland?
If i misunderstood please accept my apologies.
Yes this.
You're right, its going to be messy and I honestly don't know what will happen.
The state of this.
She has a chance to change the 'nasty party' narrative on the NHS and completely fecks it 
Thats what I meant, thats the way it is now and no-one in Ireland in their right minds wants to go back to the bad old days of customs and checkpoints etc.
No me neither.
I won't pretend to know that much about it, but i am trying to learn as much as i can.
Hopefully Leadsom still gets sacked.
It's quite fun when you can claim fecking constitutes fighting fascism though.
It's barely a reshuffle, she's so weak.
It's as if Corbyn has done it for her, Hunt staying on especially.
That already happens. Do you think it doesnt?
Let me be perfectly clear
If we make EU27 nationals require a visa to come VISIT here, Brexit has utterly failed. Can you imagine needing to a Visa to go on holiday in Spain?
Working and visiting are two very different things
The UK has a robust system of checking work visas in place already. It is trivial to require a visa for work, and having a visa free border for the EU27 (or an open border).
Really dont know what the feck anyone is on about. The common travel area isnt going anywhere
Edit - jabemtwo veru? That didn't go well. Fixerd

The DUP dont want a hard border either so there shouldn't be any issues.
"Do you know what we just did is illegal in 50 countries?
I intend to write to the Prime Minister about it."
Or something to that affect. Great film.
Honestly (perhaps naively) i assumed that because i needed a passport to travel from England to the republic that i would also need a passport to travel from the republic to Northern? And then i assumed by 'open border' it was meant that you then wouldn't need a passport to cross the north/south border.
Anyway, it seems i misunderstood. Told you i was learning
Conservatives: "We need to learn from out mistakes and start listening to the people"
Also Conservatives: "Jeremy Hunt will continue his deconstruction of the NHS.
So angry about jeremy hunt...that's essentially the end of the NHS as we know it folks. Once it's gone everyone who voted tory needs to take a long hard look at themselves.
Jesus Christ, Hunt is staying. Has she learnt nothing?
You don't need a passport to go to ireland (legally), although depending on how you get there, you might need at least a driving license, or indeed, your full passport for the carrier to check who you areHonestly (perhaps naively) i assumed that because i needed a passport to travel from England to the republic that i would also need a passport to travel from the republic to Northern? And then i assumed by 'open border' it was meant that you then wouldn't need a passport to cross the north/south border,

Also, technically non brits can go across the whole of the EU without a passport, even outside of Schengen (using their national ID cards)
Ireland isn't part of the Schengen area, is it ? In which case the hard frontier is between Ireland and the EU which, in theory I suppose, could be sold as a solid enough border control provided it's well controlled Not sure about the first point though.
Very little shuffling going on here.
She's now in a far weaker position than Gordon Brown ever was.

The "dementia" tax was privatisation by stealth, that's how it will continue. Absolutley no doubt about it.
He has the full backing for his policies. The Tories are playing the long game with the NHS. Make sure it's no longer viable so private insurers can take over.
The UK, Ireland, isle of man, etc are outside schengen.. and in their own common travel area called, 'the common travel area'.
Not all of the CTA is inside the EU
