    Yes, absolutely. It also might have gone completely differently if May hadn’t called “that election” and thrown away a majority so that she had to rely on the DUP.

    It's a pity the GFA wasn't more carefully considered before the referendum was called.

    Yes, well of course that makes perfect sense on the part of the EU then to keep extending the process.

    Soon we'll have one major party in Scotland (SNP) and one in England / Wales. All other parties will be playing bit roles (unless CUK can become the 2nd party). The Tories must be packing their pants .... even Moggy is hedging his bets with Farage's party, just in case he has to jump ship
