Well at least he'll have an MP who properly represents him. I understand he's not loaded.
Politics in 2016 and 2017 have been crazy enough that Sinn Fein deciding to actually seat MPs and thus hold the balance of power in Parliament feels about right.
That would require those Sinn Fein MPs to take an oath of allegiance to the Queen. Which seems unlikely even in the crazy world of 2016/17 politics.
The president of the United States is a cheddar dirigible, anything is now possible!
Bloody hell, Alex Salmond loses his seat to the Tories.
Seriously though, for a while I thought Labour could have formed a govmt. Still a very good night overall so far.
Now this amazes me, I have relatives in Exeter and Plymouth. Exeter is far more affluent yet is a fairly strong labour area, Plymouth far less so, but Tory. For Plymouth to go to labour is stunning imho.
So your good mood might return.
Seriously, it looks like whoever forms the government, they'll be doing it with little or no overall majority. And that might screw Brexit, thank goodness.
