Jeffrey Donaldson will get it in my opinion
Yes, yes he can
I'd be real careful about being happy about the "death" of the DUP as it won't happen in a vacuum. Whilst I'd be overjoyed about a resurgant UUP and growing Alliance party, it'll probablly come with a much stronger TUV or a massive further radicalisation of the DUP and a dissolving of the TUV. There will be much thrashing of limbs and nawing of teeth on their way out.
But a more radical leader drives moderates away from DUP and more likely towards the Alliance. It’s not like there’s loads of voter base to be gained by being even more cnuty. Don’t get me wrong, it would be preferable if the DUP could stop being dicks and provide a suitable party for moderate Unionists to vote for, but that’s not going to happen.
Its not a rule as such but I think they try to avoid a sitting MP being leader which would rule him out.
So Arlene has handed in her resignation, as bad as I thought she was I fear for what’s to come next.

Quite a good speech to end her tenure, what stuck me as weird was how buddy-buddy she was with MON last week at the leisure centre then hands in her resignation this week.
No idea why cant NI just join the rest of Ireland, what they gain from being in the UK? Are they afraid of being forcebly converted to Catholicism?
No they drive cars with catholic converters
Talk is they could split roles, one person for first minister, and another person as party lead at Westminster
What does this mean for Harry Maguire?
Maybe you should educate yourself on it.
Wouldn't surprise me if he's a flat earther too.
She was forced to resign because she abstained on a vote to ban the gay conversion therapy.
I thought it was The Catholics who were anti gay marriage, anti abortion and anti divorce? Seems the Republic and NI have a lot more in common in religious and social issues and the only thing that divides them is the NI politicians don't want to lose power?

Tell me you're trolling
The GFA states that NI wont just join the ROI, when such a thing happens its the creation of a while new state/country.
WTF, she resigned because she was incompetent.
, I had one, had to get rid of it.If he does, the DUP are fecked, I have heard Paisley Jr is an outside favourite, which just makes me want to vomit.
Lots of fawning over Arlene in certain sections of the media. I guess they are just being polite as usually happens when things like this occur.
But lets be real here, she will go down as one of the most useless politicians in the history of NI. Whether think of yourself as a nationalist, republican, unionist, loyalist, or other she didnt do anything for any of those groups or anyone.

Mostly due to her own personal circumstances with her father.
No I am not. It was a question I asked. I just read another article in The Guardian about it. So I am not very familiar about the NI politics on a personal level.
The other question is, are the young people that much homophobic and anti abortion still? Why is this a huge issue in NI, while it's not an issue in England, Wales and Scotland?
Imagine Arlene fecking Foster being too liberal for your party. What a bunch of cnuts

I’ve got a funny feeling it will be Paisley you know, if not him maybe Gavin Robinson seems a bit more voter friendly.
I agree with you, despite his list of money swindling, his smarm and smug grin I think he could unite the DUP more than the rest. Robinson I think its too soon.
Pootsy’s in for it.
feck our lives.

another attack at the home of a member of the police, this one seemingly from loyalists. Like the dissidents on the republican side, drugs dealers hiding behind the veil of a so called army. No political endgame for any of these groups just continuance of their drug dealing empires. Neither has mainstream support but unfortunately when there's a market for drugs, it's hard to see how these groups will dissipate.

Jeffrey Donaldson confirms he will run for DUP leader.
Consider me surprised
The DUP's worst kept dark secret in charge of a party of homophobes
Who is worst Donaldson (son of donald) or Poots?
Its going to be entertaining seeing them try to outdo* one another at the very least.
*rip each other apart.
