No one has majority so no clear leader yet.

Without a definitive leader there's no real leadership.

Armageddon until enough parties suck up to each other and form a majority.

Yeah that's the bit I do get, it's how to form the basis of a new government now that's not sunk in yet.

Are you one of those demanding Farage receive a knighthood for the results of his 25 years of sabotaging UK interests in Europe?

Yes, Farage deserves a knighthood for standing up against the fascist EU. And guess what, because of the result he's coming back to UK politics. But you'll love that! :D

the only real option is:

con/dup coalition
or con minority and all sides having to put party politics aside, and work together for the better of the country.
back to the ballot box

Its simple, if you cant agree with another party to form a coalition then you can attempt to run as a non majority. Any party is free to form coalitions with each other
 
Might be a stupid question, but will we get a Tory/Lib Dem coalition again?

Didn't think that went too badly as governments go last time.

Most likely conservative plus dup, unless one of the other parties steps up in the national interest. There is no governing combination that doesn't include the conservatives based on the numbers.

Cons will continue running things until someone forms a majority. I believe cons get first shot at creating a majority (not that labour can't try at the same time). If conservatives can't form a majority but labour can then May will be expected to step down.

No idea what happens if neither can form a majority though.
 
I imagine that Northern Ireland and the DUP are feeling pretty good this morning, and preparing a long wish list to take to Downing Street.

Surely it is time to review our electoral system again. The SNP poll close to the same level as the Green Party, yet have 35 times more representatives in parliament.

May cannot continue. Back to the polls before the end of the year.
 
So the Conservatives warned against the Coalition of Chaos but ended up giving us the Tories of Turmoil. Strong ans Stable eh? Well done ****tards.
