I wonder if a public statement in favour of Northern Ireland as a part of the union, i.e renouncing his prior support for a united ireland, would be part of a package. It would be quite the 'moral victory' for the DUP.Sean_F said:

600 MPs will never see the light of day. The BC will be asked to start again and aim at 650.Philip_Thompson said:
The DUP may vote down the new boundaries (as Clegg basically did) but it won't be via an Act of Parliament that they are enacted or rejected.surbiton said:

Boundary Commission law changes have already received royal assent in the 2010-15 Parliament. They're already the law now.surbiton said:Since this QS is for two years, was Boundary Commission proposals mentioned in it ?
Only if they were planning to change the law (ie to go back to 650 constituencies) would it be mentioned in the Queen's Speech surely?
Parliament has to vote on the new boundaries but it won't be an Act of Parliament. It would take an Act of Parliament to have 650 new boundaries though.
I am still puzzled by your answer. Parliament has decided that there will be 600 MPs at the next election but not their boundaries. Is that correct ? So how does that work ?
Yes Parliament has decided that there will be 600 MPs but not their boundaries. Parliament doesn't define the boundaries, though it does ratify them. Parliament sets the law which sets how the boundary review is conducted. The 600 MPs rule has already been passed in an Act of Parliament so it is already the law. Until the new boundaries are ratified though (which barring a new Act of Parliament will be at 600 MPs) we are left with the old boundaries.0 -

Indeed. Not a cat's chance in hell of going to 600. The Gov would fall as DUP don't want to lose seats.IanB2 said:

“This market will be settled on the formation of the first ministry (government) after the next UK general election." is very clear, they are not going to wait for a budget to test supply.
As they are not going to test supply, the part after 'but' is surely then clarifying that neither a supply agreement nor a confidence agreement nor both would make this into a coalition government. It could have been phrased better using could rather than would and perhaps adding 'without this making it a coalition government', but the intent is clear.0 -

Am I the only one to find Pernod a delicious drink during the summer, and utterly vile the rest of the year ?0 -
Is this a poll from this year ? What sort of turnout do they expect from 18-24 and 25-44 year olds ?williamglenn said:Panelbase finds the country is not getting behind Brexit. (And if this is wrong by the same amount as their GE poll then Remain would win.)

PBers the second greatest band of the last 30 years, The National, are currently on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury so you'll be able to see them on the Beeb from 8pm. Leave this website and cast aside thoughts of Brexit for a little while and watch them. They are simply awesome. And anyone who doesn't like them will be banned.

I think the Queen has invited May to attempt to form a government. Assent is presumably assent to a Queens speech which presumably is only a short time after the votes in Commons and Lords if the votes pass. Assent is 'formally approves an Act of Parliament', right?IanB2 said:
Taking that literally, the ministry is already formed: the Queen has given her assent and the ministers are already appointed. Yet that is not the way BF is choosing to interpret its rules, waiting for the vote on the QS. I cannot see that they can wait longer than this.crandles said:“This market will be settled on the formation of the first ministry (government) after the next UK general election." is very clear, they are not going to wait for a budget to test supply.
As they are not going to test supply, the part after 'but' is surely then clarifying that neither a supply agreement nor a confidence agreement nor both would make this into a coalition government. It could have been phrased better using could rather than would and perhaps adding 'without this making it a coalition government', but the intent is clear.0 -
Sorry, the assent part comes from a different market: Prime Minister After Election - Rules: Who will be the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom when the first government is formed after the next UK general election. This market will be settled on the formation of the first ministry (government) after assent is given by the reigning monarch after the next UK general election.
But I think betfair is taking these as the same set of rules.0
