The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
She has three days to come up with a plan b. Vote of no confidence in her being held tomorrow. Anyone’s guess if she can survive that, but she could resign (doubtful) but also labour and Corbyn could fall for a snap election. They could also revoke article 50 and call for a second referendum (they won’t but they really should)
It’s basically a disaster for her almost alone. It’s a massive can of worms exploding out of Pandora’s box. Biggest defeat for a government in their history apparently. She’s been burned by her own party.
Nobody can say for sure what’ll happen. It’s fascinating. Literally a train wreck in slow motion
im pretty certain the biggest defeat for them was America but ok

Interesting speculation going on about Sinn Fein dropping their abstention policy and actually taking their seats in British Parliament and gettibg involved. It would be throwing a grenade into housefire. Joke. (Explainer -SF have members who are elected to British Parliament but refuse to take their seats as they’d have to swear an oath to the Queen. They’ve never and probably will never.) I can’t ever see them taking their seats in Westminster unless the border poll/ Irish reunification vote comes up. They’ll turn up that day for sure. That’s looking more like a reality now when it never was before. The DUP are pretty much the biggest obstacle May has right now.

Not for this shitshow absolutely not. But the Brits want nothing to do with NI even aside from all this. And now the DUP have them over the barrel. if the motion ever gets tabled to have a referendum on NI reunification (aka them washing their hands of it once and for all) and Dublin agreed, you’d definitely see SF turn up.

Haha! Kind of yeah
The brilliant thing in all this is Nicola Sturgeon, the Scottish Prime minister has indicated they’ll be having another referendum on Scottish independence from the UK. That’ll happen sooner than the NI one by far but it’ll be the big one that sets it all in motion.

Yeah but per the GFA a referendum on Irish reunification won't have anything to do with Westminster.
