£1bn to rule the country

[IWalkLikeHimaMartian]

They do, but it's Sinn Fein that are to blame for that, and if the people are daft enough to vote for them, knowing they won't take their seats, then they either support the protest, or aren't bothered to have their view heard.

Perhaps they agree with Sinn Fein's policies and position.
I live in an area, that is represented by a MP, for whom I did not vote for. But that is democracy.
It makes vinty's comment ludicrous.

 

[transam]

so why don't sinn fein take there seats ??

 

[EFLImpudence]

They refuse to swear allegiance to the Queen so they are not allowed.

It makes vinty's comment ludicrous.

Not when you consider sinn fein are fascists who want to foist their beliefs on a population that has no interest.
Gunmen turned spokes people.
One stumbling block is the irish language. They are currently using it as a tool of discrimination.

That's a load of propaganda.
The recent general election changed all that. But no surprise you would post it up.
Gullible teenagers on face book might believe it.

 

[EFLImpudence]

Remind us Roger. Are you for or against immigration?

 

[Roger928]

James Brokenshire has the option of extending the talks, calling another assembly election or reintroducing direct rule.
Considering he has extended them about a dozen times now what do you think he will do?

The irish language and the pillow muncher rights are the main stumbling blocks.
For now the fascists are being kept at bay. But for how much longer?
Only a matter of time before the guns and bombs return imo. On the bright side it will help keep foreign slackers out.

.... the pillow muncher rights are the main stumbling blocks.

DUP are right-wing. But you did know that, right?

 

[vinty]

What about the 1,000's of catholics or republicans who live in constituency's with a DUP MP?

They still get representation in Parliament if they require it.

 

[vinty]

Oh yeah, that is why they armed themselves, and robbed banks:

Get real!



Do not be so ridiculous. The DUP initiated the UVF.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulster_Resistance
It was only when the connection was evident that the DUP pretended that they were not associated with UVF.

Are you on some sort of medication mate.
The DUP have no connection whatsoever with the UVF, the UVF predates the DUP.

A lot of the Sinn vote was fraudulent,the Sinn Fein slogan was "vote early and vote often" they abused the proxy vote system, they were using the proxy vote to steal the votes from people in nursing homes who were suffering from dementia.

I think he stopped taking it a while back...

The point is you still have someone who is obliged to represent you in Parliament whether you voted for him or not.

I'm sure that the same story that was going round about the DUP.

I suppose it just depends which side of the moat you are standing on.

BTW, I'm not really up to date with overseas elections.

Is it true that the 2017 election to the Northern Ireland Assembly was held on 2 March and they haven't formed a government yet?
