...which he will loose and trigger an election. — Punshhh
Of course, everything he does is a trick and a trap. Doesn't change the dynamics. The opposition currently have Boris by the proverbials. He gets a last-minute deal and he has them by same. They can wreck it and absolve him of the responsibility for no-deal / more endless stalemate. Or they can pass it and make him a hero. Either way he wins. Ergo, I predict he now dumps the DUP, swallows the NI only backstop, and goes for Brexity Labour MPs to replace that lost support (and they will come under enormous pressure from their constituents to vote yea). — Baden
Any other players that can replace the lost DUP votes?
Not so fast, a lot of the swing votes were waiting to see what the DUP say. Also what they've agreed over NI is a dog's dinner, we will have to see what the swing voters and particularly the Labour rebels think about it. A border pole in Stormont every 4 years, who would agree to that — Punshhh
He has got the EU to back down over the backstop and his take-it-to-the-wire negotiating strategy has thus been totally vindicated. — Tim3003
Quite a few MP's are saying tonight that cutting off NI permanently like this is the death nail for the Union. There will be no way to stop Scotland following next in line. I expect there are a lot of MP's not happy with this dogs dinner. Whether voters don't care about NI or not, MP's do, as they will be culpable and will have to clear up the mess. Unless of course they are banking on reunification with Ireland soon. Maybe that's the answer, but then it's Scotland next.Nail hit on head.
