    This could be a problem, for example, stop and search Labour could oppose as a policy because they may see it as ‘impacting’ on black people. Another example is counter-terrorism measures which they may relax because they think it’s Islamophobic.

    Got a question. I'm not very well versed on the current elections going on or British politics in general really but i was curious about the effects of Brexit regarding Ireland and to a point Scotland.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/northern-...165314589.html

    Was reading this article and it seems that Brexit is causing the DUP to lose out while irish nationalists stand to potentially gain a majority in Parliament for the first time since 1921.

    The article points out this could amplify calls for Northern Ireland to split form the UK and re-join Ireland itself.

    My question is that is it really likely for the Irish nationalists to not only gain a majority, but call for a referendum regarding Northern Ireland's status?

    And from what i understand (could be wrong here) Scotland itself is pro-EU, so could we see another repeat of the Scottish independence referendum there even with the last referendum only being a couple years ago?

    No, they want to call out the Irish-Celtic-Nationalism and they're working on the infiltration and reprogramming of all democratic forces.

    The UK elections, Right vs Left, what is at stake, from the left wing perspective. Very well summarized in this video. AOC,
    This video is about the UK, but it might as well have been produced about the United States.

    Exit polls suggest an 86 seat majority for the Conservatives. Looks like Johnson’s deal will pass Parliament and Corbyn will surely resign.

    Second: only the BBC is covering the election here in the states. I am impressed by the interview going on between the shadow secretary and the host. Really hard hitting questions and follow ups.

    The ‘red wall’ in the North of England has fallen, with working class Labour areas flipping to the Tories. People warning against Labour becoming a middle class liberal party and no longer the ‘party of the working man’ have been vindicated.

    Labour's best hope is that Diane Abbott did the exit poll.

    Looks like Britain is dead set on continuing on the path to self destruction. I find it quite hard to take it and its people seriously anymore.

    The worst self-destructive path would be continued uncertainty, as promised by Corbyn. This way, at least something will get done.

    Whatever follows, it seems clear responsability for the coming years will lay with Johnson and his party. It's up to them to make Brexit work now.

    If Labour doesn't take this result to heart and begins some very urgent soul-searching, perhaps it's time they went the way of the Liberals before them.

    Two of the first three results says it all. Blyth has returned a Conservative MP, which is amazing in this Labour stronghold! Whilst Labour's majority has been slashed in South Sunderland to less than 2,000, again a Labour stronghold. If the Brexit party had not have stood, this would almost certainly have gone to the Conservatives. These results show what could be Labour's worst ever result in an election.

    All together now sing! "Ohh No.. Jeremy... Corrrbyn.. Ohh No... Jeremy Corrrbyn"

    Well, the demagogue and liar has won. Guess who wrote, The full text


    Excerpt,
    ....Shut your eyes. Hold your breath. Think of Britain. Think of the rest of the EU. Think of the future. Think of the desire of your children and your grandchildren to live and work in other European countries; to sell things there, to make friends and perhaps to find partners there.

    ...And then there is the worry about Scotland, and the possibility that an English-only "leave" vote could lead to the break-up of the union. There is the Putin factor: we don't want to do anything to encourage more shirtless swaggering from the Russian leader, not in the Middle East, not anywhere.

    And then there is the whole geostrategic anxiety. Britain is a great nation, a global force for good. It is surely a boon for the world and for Europe that she should be intimately engaged in the EU. This is a market on our doorstep, ready for further exploitation by British firms: the membership fee seems rather small for all that access.

    Why are we so determined to turn our back on it? Shouldn't our policy be like our policy on cake - pro having it and pro eating it? Pro Europe and pro the rest of the world?
    -----

    The SNP says "Westminster won't be able to block second independence referendum if exit poll correct".

    To sum up, there are two clear winners, the ambitious mr. Boris and the SNP

    As May found out in 2017, if you attack or ignore your core voters you will be punished. The Labour Party could and should have set out a socialist/leftist version of Brexit; it could and should have compromised on migratory policy; and it could and should have been more robust in challenging antisemitism. Instead, it offered a transparently rigged 2nd. referendum on Europe, continued to insist on an open-door approach to migration, and turned a blind eye to the persistent denigration of Israel by party activists.

    This is now the 4th consecutive national election in the United Kingdom which has been dominated by Brexit and it is the 4th consecutive national election which has been won by those who wish to see the United Kingdom build a new relationship with the European Union.

    It's time to respect those elections.
