Even then if Labour decides to make a co-gov, the current predicted seats. If SNP and Lib dem decide to go into a agreement, then they still dont have a majority.
Lib dems don't want to make an agreement due to the result of the last one, and i believe SNP have said no to the conservatives so.
REALLY, we're kinda praying that somethings messy with the polls or one of those 2 parties are a bit open minded to the idea, at least willing enough to discuss maters on a vote by vote basis. Which makes a super unstable government.

Been catching up, sorry for all the constitutive posts.
Had a 200 mi, 230 km RT drive and a circus after I got back. Hadn't been to a circus in forever, small one aimed at small towns like mine.
And it had several, politically incorrect, animal acts.

This is how the US has worked since shortly after it was created.
To recap the carnage of the election thus far.
All-in-all... it's been a night of horrors for the right wing in Britain.
Conservative Party was projected, by various polls, to win a comfortable majority of at least 80 seats.
Conservative Party has instead gone from having a majority to losing it in a rather spectacular manner.
The UK is now facing a 'Hung Parliament' (yes, really, it is called that). This occurs when no party has enough seats in parliament to form a majority government.
Hung Parliaments mean VERY unstable economies, and indeed the Pound Sterling has fallen off the fiscal cliff.
Brexit negotiations were meant to begin in 11 days time... I don't think that's happening now as there's practically no government to negotiate.
A minority government is in no position to negotiate for an entire nation, let alone a union of nations, and the negotiators in Brussels know this and will exploit it fully.
Theresa May, the current Prime Minister, is expected to resign. Losing in such a colossal way to a socialist opponent in this manner is game over really.
Amber Rudd, the Home Secretary of the incumbent Conservative government has is now on her FIFTH recount of her constituency after it looks very apparent that she has lost her seat.
Amber Rudd was a contender to take over from Theresa May if/when she resigns, but she can't be nominated if she doesn't have a seat in parliament. This is an absolute disaster for the Conservatives.
Boris Johnson, the only remaining MP with any ground-swell to take over has seen his majority vote in his own constituency wiped out - he has only just held onto his seat.
UKIP, the champions of Brexit, now have no seats in parliament and their party is facing certain extinction.
The Labour Party (left wing, at least now it obviously is) has seen the greatest increase in its share of the vote (40%) since Clement Atlee defeated Winston Churchill in 1945.
Jeremy Corbyn and his Labour Party have pulled off one of, if not the most shocking upsets in British political history; taking constituencies that had been held by Conservatives for decades if not centuries.
All-in-all... it's been a night of horrors for the right wing in Britain.

How is it "full terrorism" when they voted out the PM that made huge cuts to law enforcement? Its ok nausi, we know you don't know anything, most of us don't know UK politics, but the difference is, we don't pretend to.
Hung Parliament is now officially confirmed.
Get the beer and popcorn in, this is going to be good. If you thought the fall-out from Brexit was amazing... watch this.

Before she was Prime Minister Theresa May was the Home Secretary who oversaw over 20,000 lay-offs of active police officers and who ran the system designed to track extremists into the ground.

The fact that the UK has had so many terrorist attacks under the Conservatives is not shocking in the slightest.

Rises in terrorism are a multi-faceted issue, but being the poster child for a reduced police presence isn't exactly helpful to your cause. Whoever replaces her not only has to reverse that, but also figure out a way to deal with the hilariously under-equipped and under-trained force that's already there.

I wish Bloomberg wanted the job.
A smaller update. May has stated that she isn't going to resign, but there is increasing pressure to do so. There was calls for it after 7 seats declared.
The last hung parliament in 2010 as a reminder, resulted in 5 days of negotiations.

Does a hung parliament mean, you're looking at a government who doesnt have the support to change much?
It means no one party has, I believe, 50% of seats. Meaning that technically we now have an unstable government.
In 2010 when we had the same occur, the conservatives made up the gap by forming an agreement with the lib Dems for there seats to vote conservative bills through parliament.

Paul nutall leader of UKIP, just resigned.
In UK politics they often talk about a working majority and will discount the Sinn Fein seats as they currently refuse to sit in Westminster, as such will never vote on policies. While in practice a party needs 326 for an official majority, 322 will be enough due to the 7 Sinn Fein MPs who will never sit in Westminster thus never cast their vote.
So with 318 the Tories fell 8 short of an overall majority, 4 short if you discount the Sinn Fein seats and it looks like they are going to pursue a minority government, supported by the 10 seats of the DUP.

Look out for any by-elections, with such a small working majority, any by-elections could throw this whole thing into a brand new mess.

Aelius and Krizz have already lost modship, and the current group (other than the Oklahoman) isn't doing too bad.
Unless, of course, The Lina™ is what they are after.
