    Torys will be out this year,Tartan Tories would have been in real power for a decade.

    It was a big risk for jobs and the economy in the short term that I wasn't happy about either

    However if the 45 use their political energy positively, instead of pointing fingers, maybe they could effect some changes in the UK government

    First of all they need to calm down

    Secondly they need to become believers in democracy

    It seems to have dawned on premier source of news for the great minds of North Britainshire that perhaps they have been complicit in encouraging a nation of ****ebags to vote the wrang way.

    Theresa Villiers came out yesterday saying that more or less they will devolve corporation tax to NI (which could be the magic bullet for the economy), but the Shinners need to get their act together with the benefit reforms. Shinners won't get their act together with the benefit reforms - because they are trying to get into Government in ROI on a populist anti-austerity ticket.

    Anyway, NI is ****ed. The big Prod party's main policy is 'flegs', they don't believe in Evolution and have just appointed a Health Minister who thinks abortion should still be illegal even if the woman was raped. The big Taig party, apart from wanting to destroy the state as a philosophical goal, are more interested in getting in power south of the border - so don't give a **** if the northern state falls to pieces in the mean time.

    The RUC getting shot of the HET won't help either. I felt it was valuable form of societal catharsis. Without proper truth and reconciliation in place that was a kinda halfway house. Without it, I think there is a likelihood of regression.

    The trouble with Ireland is clientelism based on tribal lines. In the free state it's still a civil war politic and in the North on a sectarian head count.

    That's been as big a part of the problem as partition for the last 50-60 years.
