To be fair Theresa May warned of coalition of chaos propped up by extremist terrorist sympathisers.
She just didn't say she'd be leading it.

No, they voted Labour because he bribed them with free tuition fees, plain and simple!
Yep
Although it's no different to the EU Referendum when a lot of people voted Leave for that £350 million on the NHS plastered all over Facebook
Social media and politics is a toxic combination and really should be banned

A quick by-election would sort thatSmall matter of winning a seat in a UK parliamentary election
Who would the extemist terrorist sympathisers that could have propped up labour be?

No different to the usual Tory tactic of bribing pensioners with more money as they usually do.....first time they don't and they get hammered
Yeah a lot of them seem to be looking for a more centrist government but don't like Tim Farron - so tuition fees is a big influence on their voting.

Well the Mail told me it was a mixture of the SNP, Sinn Fein and Hezbolla so im a bit confused.
Why does BBC Scotland feel the need to on the one hand tell us that the SNP lost 21 seats in this general election and on the other hand the SNP are the biggest party in Scotland? Where is the relevance, this was a UK general election the size of the SNP in Scotland is immaterial?

Conservative MP Nigel Evans on the BBC - "This manifesto had too many dashes of arsenic, it was an assault on the people we were looking to vote for us. Theresa May carried out a 'triple assault' on our core voters - the elderly. Reneging on the triple lock, the winter fuel allowance and the dementia tax when it wasnt even necessary. it's been a disaster. We didn't shoot ourselves in the foot, we shot ourselves in the head."

That's not quite right. The DUP contains former members of the Ulster Resistance, an actual terrorist organisation.

Aye. It was all social media.
Did you miss the bit where the Conservatives had a fairly strong majority government and voluntarily called an early election?
It would seem reasonable to assume they only did that because they expected to strengthen their position. The fact that they are now having to form a minority government is surely about the worst scenario they could have envisaged when May decided to call an early election?
Conversely, Labour looked like a party on their knees only a few weeks ago - which again was probably why May was happy to call the early election.
Even the most blinkered of people can't fail to see that this has been an absolute disaster for the Torys and therefore a big 'win' for Labour.
I'm by no means 'young', but I can totally understand why young people these days have had enough of being shafted. Housing, education, healthcare - do you really see these becoming more affordable for your average 21 year-old under May? Then throw in the fact that we've just voted to remove a big opportunity of jobs in Europe, etc and you'll start to see why the 'young vote' has gone in the direction of change.
Trying to pass young voters off as all being influenced by celebs and 'kool' is patronising to a level of stupidity. It's almost as bad as trying to claim that all Labour voters are work-shy benefit claimants.

So we have a coalition government and a corbyn that is delusional. If the torys spent more time outlining why the labour manifesto was so unobtainable, merely pandered to whatever financial situations seemed most fashionable at that given time and just couldn't back up the financial promises instead of just 'don't vote for him' this may have been different, as it stands it was a lazy campaign and they got a result directly proportional to the effort they put in.
Regards to the coalition I don't really care, DUP will either force concestions on a poor manifesto in return for their concestions on the brexit deal, which May will make if she is serious about brexit being her priority or it will all go to hell and throw us back In to chaos which would be the same end result should corbyn form government. Then concervatives win majority because of this fiasco because as stated the young voters won't return to the ballot box, Hopefully with a revised manifesto after reflection on the poor reception of this one.
The thing is corbyn just insulted the target voters promising things that any sane person knew couldn't be achieved in the wake of brexit and the coming struggles that it will bring.
For clarity I voted concervatives, I did so purely on brexit knowing full well a corbyn brexit will leave us bent over in Europe, the damage is done in this regard and the road ahead is rocky. As a vote for Labour here is a soft brexit, a vote for Labour means in Europe they can have their own way, I do not believe they will hesitate for one second in making us feel the pain of their dissaproval for many years to come. A revised manifesto for home soil and a clear direction for leaving Europe is what we need to hope for. That or for pigs to fly and corbyn to resign finally and give us someone we can put trust back in to.

Well, we know that's BS because Sinn Fein are abstentionists and will never take their seats in Westminster under any circumstances.

So basically a draw, given the Lib Dems straddle both sides of the fence.
