It means the Tories will end up in a coalition (of chaos) with a party with a very strong vested interest in a smooth and amicable Brexit process. About as good a result as we could have expected tbh.
The DUP? They are bat **** crazy and belong in the 1800s.
Hopefully, to quote Frankie Boyle, Paul Nuttall will shortly be "Driving a coach and breeding Staffies" or "Working as a model. Fronting a campaign urging women not to leave their drinks unattended."
Hahahaha!

More likely forced out by the Boris.
I don't think we'll see her go at 10am, but she might go shortly after.. Her entire plan has backfired, so it's going to be extremely difficult for her to hang on.

A coalition isn't a good thing - we need a strong govt with credible majority - the only winners today are the EU.
The next election in a few weeks/months will be interesting.
I'm betting Abbot is gone, and that the Labour Party will finally rally around Corbyn, bringing better talent to the front line. The party's appeal will likely rise.
The Tories will almost certainly lose most of their Scottish seats, most of which were won because a high number of votes were split between the SNP, Labour, and the Lib Dems.
Both Labour and the Tories will have to do some reflecting on how they lost in key strongholds.
The Tories will need to hit back with a new strategy and a more moderate manifesto.
May needs to go. Though I'm not sure who will replace her.

So David Davies or Boris?
I prefer Davies as a politician, but it's a choice between umbungo or death by umbungo.

Depends on calls within her party to step down really.
Word.

Again, no. The only losers are Tory Brexiteers and the SNP.

The DUP had terrorist group support. If the Conservatives get in bed with them, how is it going to look after all their ramblings about Corbyn's IRA connection?
First things first, she needs to secure a Conservative-led government and stop Labour from stealing the election.
#ThePastIsThePast
Yes to gain a stronger mandate to negotiate with the EU. May damaged things by being too sure of gaining seats and using the opportunity to add a bunch of unpalatable stuff to their manifesto or her party did. So I accept May should have kept this more about Brexit but I stand by having a hung parliament is a bad choice for the electorate to have made, unless you were wanting to run the country into the ground of course.
Yeah, I think the media are obviously screaming blue murder for her to go - Faisal islam on Sky did make an interesting point earlier, in that the tory party tends to be much harsher on it's leaders when they don't deliver - they don't suffer failure very well at all. We'll see how it pans out,
Do you not understand people have spoken?
This is more entertaining than I was expecting. IMO is the best result possible. Politicians will actually have to try and work together rather than doing what they want.
