Excellent news. Off you pop, May. 

 

Country is ****ed though. Brexit negotiations start in 10 days lol may as well just stay in for a few more years.

Only thing that can happen, if it's not a coalition it's an informal deal.

 

She couldn't trust her bank-benchers on Brexit before she lost her majority; my guess is a change of leadership, followed by another election.

I would be amazed if the Tories went to the voters again, far far too risky.

 

This has to be a 5 year parliament now to ensure they are in charge of our exit from the EU.

I think it will go back to the voters, it's already proved hard to get things done. A new leader, a new air of confidence, another election.

There is no history of a minority government lasting more than a year I don't think?  Obv excluding coalition.

This.

 

If they have another election they'll lose regardless of how good the new leader would be.

One thing is clear now: the Labour MPs, who have obstructed Corbyn at every turn, need to eat some serious humble pie and get behind him. He has an overwhelming mandate from the membership, and clearly he is seen as far more electable by the electorate than could ever have been imagined.

This is from afar...One point that came over to some of us, where Tories lost massive ground...

Trying to tell the electorate that Labour were in Chaos, and a shambles, but not looking into their own

chaos within.Even trying to Deny it..!!!  Theresa May is only the frontman/woman dont forget the yahoos

Hiding behind her skirt.

 

Labour, lost it probably by still having people like Diane Abbot spouting her mundane utterings, on major Tv time.

They didnt grab her away early enough.

Somebody like the 'other' Milabrand brother, could of pulled off the turnaround...

 

SNP...spent too much time..again  on Independence.Instead of facing other issues.

Libs. Never quite get off the ground, not even on this election could they make decent gains

 

Politicians:   Uk  in general the worst bunch in 30-40yrs...

Starting to get excited now, genuine chance David Davis could be Prime Minister next week.

 

Dunno about that - it looks like he's being lined up as a scape goat.

 

Apparently it was he who pushed hardest for the election.

No winners here, only losers.  Corbyn might come away with a smile but that's as good as it gets for anyone.  British public are the biggest losers.

If the tories pick boris - and many are blaming davis for pushing may yo call an election - then labour will win a second election.

Nah, it's been a good night - Tories are screwed for 2022; destabilised the nation for a vanity election, threw away their majority and have been left holding the brexit bomb. A corbynite Labour has been shown more electable than anyone thought - if you're of a left persuasion last night couldn't realistically have gone better

Matt, what's the bookmakers most likely outcome here?

 

Con DUP is a reasonably natural fit and gives them the majority, can that happen? SNP can obviously win it for the Cons but are political opposites but if Cons promise them a second referendum would they say yes?

 

Labour + every other party combined can't hit 326, right?

Conservative coalition of chaos?

If there is one saving grace, it now looks like a campaign of refusing to engage with the electorate, repeating slogans and appearing in warehouses surrounded by your mates is probably not going to happen again.

 

 

It's funny, because that's exactly how I would have ran the campaign. Who'd have thought it?

 

Seriously though, how shit must Lynton Crosby and co think May is to let the campaign be run like it was

In seriousness this result does do a few things:

 

- issues affecting the young will have to be taken much more seriously

- hard brexit is out the window

- it's going to be very, very difficult to keep cutting 

 

All in all a good night!
