Breakdown of the DUP Manifesto

Quote
Arlene Foster, 46, is the leader of the staunchly pro-union and pro-Brexit party and declared it was a “good night for the Union”.

Quote
According to a DUP source anything is possible in Westminster talks except a coalition with Jeremy Corbyn.

Quote
The DUP has opposed the introduction of same sex marriage in Northern Ireland, as well as lifting the ban on abortion.

Quote
In their manifesto they said they supported the nuclear deterrent putting them at odds with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Basically, everything is over.

Tory-DUP is worse than just Tories! DUP are very anti-EU! This is very bad. I think people should've just voted Tory now.

The guy who posted the Tweet is this one: https://twitter.com/MerryMichaelW

He's since deleted it though.

Ealing Council has responded on it.

I'm ahead of the news!

1) Who is that TempletonPeck?

2) Why is there a archive link to a google search page?

3) Tweets are really easy to fake.

4) Not sure what the law on postal ballot is in the UK. Can they open them before d-day? That'd be weird.

P.S. From what I find on wiki, they're supposed to be sealed and only counted during the count. The one info that'd be public would be postal turnout I guess, which make sense since one of Labour's issue is to get young people to turn up.

1) TempletonPeck is some random guy who is the only result I can find responding to the guy in the original image (or even quoting him).

2) The Google Search displays the page with the TempletonPeck quote on it.

3) They are, hence the archive.

4) You're not allowed to unseal and count them, that's completely illegal.

Isn't this electoral fraud?

Isn't this illegal? He's deleted the Tweet since but that seems like a really bad idea.

Another terrorist attack.

They're discussing suspending the election.

Just watched the Question Time and some of the stuff Corbyn says upsets me just because it's so wrong. The way he evaded really simple questions, too.

"Was the IRA terrorists?" Just a simple yes or no.

Why does he do this?

By "little guys", you mean the actual representatives of your vote, not some "lesser umbrella party", I hope.

I mean Green or UKIP or one of those. We've got four of them in our constituency. I think voting for one of them would be a better idea as a Labour supporter.

Yeah, I could definitely do a postal vote. There's also the fact that if Corbyn turns out to be as bad as they're predicting he'll be that I won't dirty my hands with it.

I might vote for one of the little guys instead.

Yeah, the problem with that kind of apathy is you're not the only one thinking that.

The percentage of Britons on the internet isn't really high enough to swing it either way, especially in poorer areas. I just don't see any reason to leave my house an hour earlier or come home an hour later.

... and that, ladies and gents, is (one of the ways) how your preferred political party loses an election :P

Like I say, my constituency is 100% predicted win for Labour. No point in voting, really.

I made a snap election thread: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=164378.msg7472758#msg7472758

Personally, I was gonna vote Labour but my constituency is completely Labour. They've voted Labour for decades now. I just don't see any point in wasting an hour or more of my time to go and vote especially when I work. Everyone else will vote Labour anyway.

Thread for the UK snap election. Brexit isn't all that relevant and is massively bloated.
