Two disastrous decisions and elections for two conservative Prime Ministers in a row.
I wasn't implying you were a Tory voter, I know you're not. But many Tories DID rub their hands with glee at the thought of Corbyn as leader, it's not so funny now.
Farage was on tv earlier (as per ****ing usual) and said there was no way that he could return as party leader unless it was totally reformed. I don't believe a word the **** says mind, but after they've just been wiped out I'd be surprised if such an opportunist wanted anything to do with a dead duck.
Based on what was best for the Tory party, not the country. Egg on face both times.

If I lose just SIX seats then Jeremy Corbyn will be doing the Brexit negotiations, Theresa May couldn't have been much clearer could she so why is she hanging on ?

My gut feeling was right, even though in my head I thought it would still be a big Conservative majority.
I think May will still be PM, but without a Majority that could potentially mean the end for a hard-brexit.
If this election had gone on for a few more weeks and Labour had opposed a second indyref, I think we'd be looking at a Labour Majority right now.
Also, how accurate was that Exit poll? How do they do it. Yes Tories got a few more seats, Labour & Lid Dems got a few less than predicted, but it wasn't far off at all.

Of course not however i wonder how the people on here will react to a Tory DUP alliance after all the shit spouted about Corbyns links with the IRA over 2 decades ago...
Not even what was best for the party. Just what they thought was best for themselves.

Well again, I need to disagree. It is still funny because many Labour supporters seem to be championing some sort of success this morning. Again: he lost by a long way to a dreadful PM who ran an atrocious campaign with a godawful manifesto and the markets have him less likely to be the next PM than Boris Johnson.
Let's say that again: bumbling buffoon Boris Johnson is more likely to be the next PM than Jeremy Corbyn.
Yay - way to go Jezza - you slayed 'em good and proper!

Ruth Davidson is doing a pretty good job for the Conservatives up there.

You cannot deny the ridiculous irony, of the suggestion of the Tory's jumping into bed with the DUP, just two days after their media backers attempted to influence the voting, with hysterical headlines warning of the Labour front bench's (past) contacts with such groups?

So how long can a DUP-propped-up coalition of chaos last?
It's a shambles.
By the time of the next vote (whenever that may be) Tory support will be shot to bits for their getting into bed with the DUP. Meanwhile a resurgent progressive vote will be buoyed by the inroads they made this election, more younger voters reaching voting age and more traditional Tory voting older voters dying off.
If the referendum issue in Scotland drops off the agenda then those new Tory seats up there will be sure to go as soon as the opportunity arises. Suddenly all that doom-mongering that Britain would be stuck with the Tories for decades has completely gone and it's actually quite difficult to see where they'd next get a genuine majority.
Its been a long time since this country had a bit of hope in the tank. Turns out we're not done yet

So it's shown, it's ironic that the Scots are the ones that have all but kept them clinging onto power.
Had Labour won those 12 seats, they'd be looking to form a coalition government right now.
