[QUOTE=El Burro;52331642]9 seats left to declare, the Tories need 4 seats to form a majority with the help of the DUP.
If they get 3 seats... I don't think I could take it.[/QUOTE]
The Guardian has it that there are still 5 undeclared safe tory seats, so unfortunately it looks like Labour is wrapping up for the night, barring maybe one or two more surprise gains.
[QUOTE=Anyx;52331645]Apparently DUP want Gay Marriage, Gay Blood Donation, and Abortions banned.

Can't let gay people donate blood, you might catch The Gay.
SNP held Fife NE by TWO FUCKING VOTES.

For two votes I can see it going to a recount.
what the fuck is taking cornwall
did they forget how to count
[QUOTE=download;52331659]For two votes I can see it going to a recount.[/QUOTE]
It's been counted 3 times.
[QUOTE=download;52331659]For two votes I can see it going to a recount.[/QUOTE]
This is after several recounts. Final count done.
for all those people that think their vote doesnt make a difference
[QUOTE=Flapadar;52331666]It's been counted 3 times.[/QUOTE]
They should try counting it using the imperial system this time.
Is there a good recap of this somewhere? I missed a whole lot of it. I'm guessing May fucked up and is losing power when they thought they would gain more? Is she still going to be PM after all this or is that to be determined?
If labour can pull it off, they can still get four more seats. Then the coalition has a majority with the DUP of one. single. seat.

Well most people think she should step down, I mean this is an even bigger fuck up than Cameron's Brexit gambit so she really should.

Her party is likely to remain in power, albeit with a hugely reduced majority (think from 30 seat majority to 1-2 seat majority). Plus, they will only be able to pull off a majority with the help of another party.
It's up in the air as to whether she will stay. Some people in her party are saying she should not resign because they need to get on with Brexit. Others are saying she needs to go as early as this morning due to a total collapse in authority. Barely anyone is claiming to have any faith in her as a leader anymore.
who are all these people voting for conservatives?

Old people.
nice snap election u fuckin morons, get fucked
So, what are the policy differences between DUP and tories? If they coalition, won't there have to be compromise? I'm guessing the DUP (being irish) are anti-brexit?

Well she literally cannot get a majority now, she'll have to rely on another party to prop her up and form a coalition. It's actually hilarious, she didn't just reduce her majority, she flat out lost it.
Does anyone remember that video they did of Trump with all the news coverage saying that Hilary would smash the election, and Hall of the Mountain King was slowly getting louder and louder as he gained more and more seats? Someone should do that for corbyn

DUP are pro-Brexit, they just don't want a hard border with the Republic of Ireland.
The Tories need 5 seats to get a majority with a coalition.
Labour need 5 seats to hang parliament even with a coalition of Tory/DUP

how do you define british
Well we fucking did it.
When this snap was called Lab was 24 points behind the Tories and it seemed like we were completely fucked. 200 seat majority was looming.
Now Labour have GAINED 30 seats, Tories have been crippled, May is fucked and Corb has firmly placed himself as a real deal and has sorted his control on the party for good. And now we have been given fuck tons of hope instead of doom and gloom and it's glorious.
