The Tories are entirely clueless. He's currently re-iterating it again on LBC. The presidential election in Ireland isn't political. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31357 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Yup. And Michael D Higgins is likely to run unopposed if he does stand again. It has zero to do with Sinn Fein or Brexit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it did happen of course, Scotland would rightfully kick off big style. There is literally no good solutions now Cameron has opened Pandora's box. We can't go back, and all the options forward are different degrees of worse. I'm just hoping for a EFTA/EEA Brexit. Which is surely the democratic solution, a natural compromise considering the closeness of the referendum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 There won't be any real Brexit nobody in either establishment wants it (EU or us).
