Wow - these results seem like a total mess.  There's no easy Tory + DUP result.  Lib Dems being wiped out means there's no easy middle party to try and sway.

Should be fun times to follow. :(

Why is the SNP getting pummeled? I mean I am glad to see it but they seem to be losing seats to the Conservatives, Labour, and Lib Dems even in their safe constituencies.

Perhaps referendum from voters on SNP making plans for another Scottish referendum? Seems a pretty fair and good repudiation. :)

Seems the best likely outcome came to pass in England  :w00t:

Though

1: ouch. Northern Ireland becomes a one party state (+sinn fein). What on earth happened there?
2: Scotland has gone very very tory. Worrying.
Guess we shall be seeing the Scottish Tory leader as overall Tory leader in the not too distant future.

We now could see BoJo heading a minority gov! Otherwise, yeah...I mean Labour headed coalition gov't? The party where its own MPs don't agree?

The Tories have had their power shattered. They can't unilaterally make decisions for the rest of us.
But at the same time they're still the biggest party and forced to take responsibility for the brexit mess that they created.

True. But they should never have been put in that position. Only due to Tory infighting was the whole stupid thing even an issue. Europe was important for 20% of the population max pre ref.

I'll say one thing for Corbyn he's a fine campaigner. But then he is a figure from the past and British politicians used to know how to place an appealing offering before the electorate.

Tamas

Not only chaos is now complete, but Corbyn is here to stay.

Incredible.

I am actually a bit conflicted here.  If UK politics is in a mess, does that mean they can't proceed with the Brexit negotiations and I get to keep my UK + EU passport for a little while longer?
