Anyways, couldn't the Tories just form a coalition with another party or did they all lay in bed with Labour?

Trading one villain for another eh?



friendship ended with May

Corbyn is my best friend now

I'd rather have a guy who is incompetent than a woman who wants to turn the country into a police state.

Well enjoy living in Venezuela 2.0. As you can see from our end, electing an incompetent dipshit is totally working out for us.

All May had to do was not threaten to abolish the Human Rights Act just 3 days before the election. Glad she's getting BTFO.

That and not start watching what people do on the internet

Yeah really. She's fucking stupid. She had to say she'll stay in the EU Human Rights Accord because of that scare. Think it hurt her a lot.

It's POSSIBLE, but even then, negotiating Brexit with just a few seats of a majority is shaky at best. All in all, this was a massive backfire for them.

I don't think all those communists came out to support him as a joke.

EDIT: Azula is old and busted for stepping on people, you already know who the new hotness is for that.

Overview
Theresa May has lost her parliamentary majority after calling an election to strengthen it. Despite gains in Scotland, the Conservatives now need the support of a second party to form a coalition or support a minority government. Labour are on course to increase their seat tally by at least 30, but things are so finely poised that even with the support of the SNP and the Lib Dems, Jeremy Corbyn would not be able to command a majority.

Good enough for me to go to bed. May is conniving witch, and Corbyn is an REEEing pussy. And it looks like both are going bye-bye.

He was never aiming for a majority, just enough to actually negotiate a coalition. That's a victory for them. This is all an ultimate loss for May who thought she'd gain even more seats, when in fact she's given up the first majority her party has had in 18 years, away in 2 years.

Paint it however you want, this is a failure, May will probably resign sooner or later, and Corbyn will be claiming victory for doing better than any polls predicted. You don't have to agree with his policies, but that shouldn't alter your perception of what the actual facts and repercussions are.

I know it's not a victory for the Tories, especially after they lost their majority and possibly a hard Brexit. I know how utter shit May is, but I just can't bring myself to begrudgingly accept Corbyn, so being in a situation where neither are leading seems better than expected.

Oh, well how the post came across it sounded like you were somehow twisting it as a victory for the Tories. And a hard Brexit is kinda bad anyway, so this is better.

May fucked up about as badly as Ben Carson saying he'd be okay with bombing civilians in Syria.
I thought I was the only one that caught that.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

Well it was never that. It was just "oh good god this May person is sounding more and more like Trump and sounding authoritarian alarms, what do we do?"

This is the result

Corbyn still vowed to leave the EU, he just wants to somehow not pull out of it as hard and fuck over the UK for however many number of years it takes for them to adjust.

Labour's Holly Lynch has retained Halifax with an increased majority. In 2015 she had a majority of just 428 and now has a majority 5,376.

I like how May came to Halifax to do the conservative manifesto to try and get that 400 votes but it evidently didn't work at all

EU was always about control, not prosperity.

Theresa May is about to tell the Queen she has a deal with the party that thinks dinosaur bones aren't real.

emigrate or degenerate. the choice is yours
May has support of the DUP which might help her get a majority.

Doesn't look like she's out yet, but it doesn't look great for her.
