Sort of in the same way that if that Venom dude who was banging on about the holocaust being fake, got arrested for it. It'd be bad, yet hilarious.

Of the 14 people who voted BNP in the poll here, I'm willing to bet, none of them are even elegible to vote in the election and if so were doing it as a joke. I highly doubt anyone on this forum agrees with what the BNP are saying and that they aren't racist. It's easy to have good policies when you have no chance of getting elected, but the BNP don't even have good policies.
Have you read the BNP thread in EE?
i lost the sheer will to respond sensibly to that. thank fuck our government doesn't deem half the people in that thread responsible enough to vote.

Sweeet. Unionists in the six counties got their asses handed to them and the Conservatives didn't have a sufficient number of seats to make the Unionists pivotal in the formation of a government. /win

Sinn Féin: Faux-marxist political wing of the IRA that wants Ireland reunified.
SDLP: Peaceful civil rights movement that developed into a party that nominally wants Ireland reunified.
DUP: Relatively hardline puritanical party clinging doggedly to union with Britain.
Ulster Conservatives and Unionists - New Force: Rebranded UUP that are less extremist upper middle class proponents of continued British union.
Alliance: The 'Let's all be friends party', supposedly neither Unionist nor Nationalist/Republican.
Traditional Unionist Voice: Ultra lame extremely hardline and puritanical Unionist party who want all ethnically Irish people to dissolve into the ether.

Based on the obscenely BAMF behind Brown's speech at Kirkcaldy, I'd have voted for the Peasants Party.

I think there are a lot of positives to be taken out of the last election for Irish Nationalists / Republicans in the North of Ireland.

1 - TUV we're absolutely annihilated, hopefully now Jim Allister will do a "Bob McCartney" & fuck off. The "won't have a Catholic about the place brigade" have been completely rejected by the Protestant population of Northern Ireland.

2 - The UU / Conservatives were completely rejected at the ballot box

3 - An Irish Nationalist political party is now the majority political party for the first time in the history of the state.

4 - Even when a " Unified unionist" candidate what stood at the demand of the Orange Order in Fermanagh / South Tyrone - they were still defeated.


The Orange state is well and truly finished on the island of Ireland.

don't sinn fein MP's not attend parliament because they don't accept its sovereignity or something? which is why the actual majority could have been slightly less than 326

waste of votes tbh, their hardly holding the place to ransom are they?

They don't enter because it entails taking an oath of allegiance. It reduces the required majority by a couple of seats.

They still have the same number of seats and still hold onto the majority. Now their is talk of the DUP and the UUP joining into one party. Very undemocratic.........................the unionist way.
Glad to see Peter R loose his seat. £5 Land deals. £20 000 gifts from developers...........good to see the unionist voters reject what he stands for.

The system is wrong, in NI and Uk mainland. And needs reformed asap. The Labour Conservative grip on power is a disgrace when you see the percentage results. Elections boundaries have been put in place to assure its either or. Its there for everyone to see.

Seats
Labour 258
Liberal Democrat  57

Overall percentage of votes.
Labour 29.0%
Lib Dems 23.0%

So how the hell does a difference of just 6% of over all voters equal a difference of 201 seats? Something very wrong.

Any deal that is done with the Lib Dems has to involve election reform to even the balance, but it will never happen, they will go back on their word, just like in the 70s, electoral reform was part of a deal on coalition and that deal never actually happened.

I kind of hope George Osbourne is chancellor................his family could pay off the national debt outta their loose change................ and more Eton boys got in, Goldsmith.............got in on an Eco ticket, lol.

Well, with the way the EU is going, you're all unified under one Big Brother government anyway.  Regardless of whether Northern Ireland ever reunites with the Republic of Ireland or not, you're all subject to the EU's increasingly invasive policies.

I'm just surprised there isn't more of a push to pull out of the EU in the U.K.  I would absolutely loathe the thought of putting national sovereignty aside for the sake of propping up countries like Greece.
