Well that's a turn up for the books. This was kind of what I was hoping for, except not with the DUP. Whilst it's great that there is some challenge to the hard brexit road we were likely to be going down, I am concerned by the right wing policies around equal marriage, abortion and climate change that the DUP hold. I've written to Neil Coyle, who was successfully elected back into my constituency last night.
I think this is Schadenfreude, given the mantra of "strong and stable" that was forced down our throats. Yet, unbelievably, as I listened to Mrs May speak outside Downing Street, she spoke as if she had a Conservative majority. She is still talking about the will of the people, completely ignoring the will of the people from last night. I expect she still has her feet being held to the fire by the likes of John Redwood and Rees-Mogg. Well the vital thing is that she avoids a vote of no confidence, as Labour and the Lib Dems will surely attempt quite soon, to challenge her authority. Interesting times. I just pray that this means an end, at least, to the hard Brexit nonsense.
