Labour don't have the numbers to put together a coalition. Even with SNP + LibDems + Greens they don't have more than the Tories on their own.

So as the largest party the Tories get to form a minority govt. Only if they didn't want to could Labour try a minority govt, as I understand it.

Problem is Conservatives can't form a credible coalition this time with any options polarising the public and parliamentary vote.

Lib Dems were a good fit last time. DUP or SNP not even close.
 
Well done UK, you managed to screw this up well and truly. The result is about the worst possible one, regardless of who you support.

Not a good result for the UK, hung parliament, no party with the authority to negotiate Brexit talks, and if there is a coalition or minority government formed, 4-5 years of political stagnation.

Exactly, a right royal cluster****!!! is putting it mildly.

But that's what I mean, if the Tories have their Queen's Speech downvoted, that means Labour can rule in a minority Government being the second largest party, right?

But they can't, because the Tories have more votes than the other parties combined. How can they down-vote it?

e: I mean more than Labour+Lib+SNP..., ie those who would oppose it.

Hardly the electorates fault if neither main party can deliver a majority. This really just highlights the need for proper electoral reform I'd. Ecsll in favour of a more representative voting system especially if it lead most often to coalition politics as for me decision by consensus and agreement is much more demsible.

Thank the idiots who voted Labour, they'll now know what it's like not to have a strong and stable government. You just handed the EU a blank cheque to screw us over, even remainers are going to suffer because of this result, but then the left love shooting themselves in the foot. They really do hate their own country don't they?
 
Best result for the UK will be May steps aside, conservatives find a credible leader with public appeal like Cameron did and have another election.

They choose Rudd or Johnson and it's game over.

Brexit is collectively either paused or progressed in the interim.

Theresa May at the helm was anything but strong and stable, as proven repeatedly over the past month.

You sound bitter that May didn't walk it.
