| Lightning Strikes 12/12/19 9:36:19 PM #47: | If Labour fully backed leave they would get destroyed in the cities. Full remain and what we see gets worse. They were screwed. They never should have backed the election, they should have just gotten a referendum through the commons without. Anyway, let's talk Northern Ireland. The main parties are the extreme unionist DUP (10 seats last time), extreme nationalist and abstentionist Sinn Fin (7 seats last time), both eurosceptic (though SF backed remain due to border issues), moderate unionist and brexit-neutral UUP (1 independent seat last time, who stood down which looked like it would mean the seat would go DUP), moderate nationalist SDLP (0 seats last time) and neutral Alliance (0 seats last time) both of whom are pro-EU. Alliance unexpectedly gained the former UUP/independent seat North Down instead of the DUP and it looks like SDLP have beaten the DUP in Belfast South. So it looks like the pro-EU moderates are back in Northern Ireland, and the nationalists may end up stronger than the unionists for the first time. --- I just decided to change this sig.
