The DUP are hard Brexiteers. They don’t want the back stop sorted - they just don’t want it all and believe that neither the UK nor the EU would impose a hard border (they are probably wrong on that – the EU will make the Irish introduce border controls to protect their Single Market).Originally Posted by rolymiller
Also another thought. What would the DUP make of a no brexit scenario? They want us to leave with the Irish back stop issue sorted but what if we don't brexit. They are not keen on that either.
Would they still support the govt in the confidence and supply agreement? In which case, if they didn't, could there be a general election looming?
Someone should write a book/film about this fiasco and make a few bob out of it!
(Kerr could be Rees Mogg or Boris Johnson in the film version!)
There is no chance that the DUP would support the current Labour leadership in a no confidence vote. Corbyn is a friend of the pIRA and the Republican cause. The support of the DUP might not even be crucial, however, as I think The Independent Group might well vote with the government in a no confidence vote – they have not exactly been treated in an adult fashion by the Labour Party, with threats of them being ‘crushed’ etc. and they are in no position to fight a General Election at the moment. I’m not entirely convinced that Labour should want a GE either – The Independent Group are being very successful at attracting moderate Left Labour voters, with the latest opinion polls showing support for TIG at 18% and that for Labour down to 23%.
If its actors you are after, you should ask raging.
