No they can't.
They don't take up their seats as a matter of principle, and they never will.
In order to take up those seats they'd have to swear an oath of loyalty to the Queen and the Union and they won't.
If they did either of these things they'd face a terrible retribution from from their own paramilitary supporters.
As the journalist points out, the political and other blowback from the political wing of PIRA and INLA trying to thwart the will of the British people would be unthinkable. In Ireland it would reignite the troubles within hours and in Britain it would cause a constituonal crisis the like of which we've never seen since the days of Cromwell.
Basil, the one eyed lion which used to feature in the T.V Show "Daktari", and coincidentally the same identity you used when posting on the "Cornish Herb Garden" Message Board back in the late eighties.
No that was Daiquiri Sir Jim. A cocktail named after a Welshman who was forever asking questions.
Oh that's very good when you think about it. Just worked it out !
There's a much better joke in there but I expect it's a hate crime.
Absolutely !
You simply can't say stuff like that in our great democracy can you ?
I like a Daktari on a warm summer night, and those nasty Sinn Feinier's won't effect that.
CHRISTIANS TO THE LIONS!’ I hear Nero call.
Yes there is some irony and bias, before Boris, we had opposition parties doing a sort of proroguing of it's own , by not agreeing any type of deal , they simply pushed the Tories to this point, by putting off or delaying the decision made in a democratic vote.
Can you imagine the uproar if a union vote to strike was dealt with in the same manner , and let's be fair some of those union ballot results are no where near the majority leave vote ,at times they are less than a third of the workforce .
Guess its called democracy when it fits .
To summarise we have an opposition party vowing never to agree any deal to take us out of Europe even though 52% voted for that action , real democracy at work at last .
Now when Boris decides to be bullish it's an outcry on injustice , bloody hypocrisy I say.
And yes I'm a remainer and no I'm not a Tory or Trump /Boris , just a
believer in the democratic right of the people however disturbing that result is .
As for Sinn Fein and its supporters and history, what can one say about those luvvies.
The day of principles are gone .
Equally Labour could have swallowed the pride and drive for an election and voted for it and stopped the Boris March ,suicide politics ,just for the sake of an election , I view Labour as gutless as the Tories ,they could have backed the deal and won the next election,they wont know .
To get back to the originsl point.
Do you think Sinn Fein giving up their seats is a good idea to delay or stop Brexit Eric?
Not to stop without consultation, but a delay long enough to ask the country if we still want to leave now that we know what brexit looks is the desirable in my opinion. Brexit is now leaving without a withdrawal agreement in place and without a framework for a future trading relationship in place, that is quite a departure from the promises made.
The Sinn Fein thing is a fairytale though dreamed up to fill some column inches.
