UK General Election Day and Results: 'Parliament is Well Hung.' - Polidicks

D:Reams can come true. [QUOTE=Theresa May, Probably]Brexit means Brexit, and we've already made a fucking hash of it.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Kiwi;52331983]Done.[/QUOTE] cheers

[QUOTE=killerteacup;52331879]DUP are hard brexit and the lib dems are pro remain too. Wishful thinking on Mays part to get anyone except the DUP into a coalition.[/QUOTE] I know DUP were the only party to support Brexit in NI (which is dumb), but what indicators are there that they're hard Brexit? That'd fucking destroy NI. And they'd be handing votes to Sinn Fein and the UUP. Anyway, hung parliament is probably the best possible result since Labour majority was out of the question.

[QUOTE=Kiwi;52331983]Done.[/QUOTE] Done.

This is pretty hilarious, good job.

I hear that Plaid Cyrmu got new seat from last remaining Liberal Dem?

[QUOTE=David29;52331861]Not sure how Corbyn can be in any sort of position to call for May to resign given his previous refusals to do likewise.[/QUOTE] Why would he? He was elected by the party membership, stood up to the constant attempts of character assassination against him and for the last few weeks has delivered a huge blow to their biggest opponent.

So what's happened..? I'm confused from reading this last page

[QUOTE=TrannyAlert;52332040]So what's happened..? I'm confused from reading this last page[/QUOTE] Hung Parliament, Labour had a fantastic night and gained 30+ seats, Conservatives lost the majority

[QUOTE=TrannyAlert;52332040]So what's happened..? I'm confused from reading this last page[/QUOTE] Parliament's hung because the tories failed to reach a majority, losing 12 seats while Labour gained 31. Their only option right now as I understand it is to form a coalition with the Democratic Unionist Party from N.I, which is pretty likely cause they do align on a lot of things, but Brexit and its implications might complicate things.

I feel like it's unexpected that May managed to hang on, even with Corbyn pulling out all his trap cards to pull in students. May's reputation is absolutely fucked though. But on top of this she's managed to tarnish even further the reputation of the UK government and the Brexit negotations. jesus christ.

Okay so what happens now that it's hung Can Labour still win or has conservative won 100%

[QUOTE=TrannyAlert;52332056]Okay so what happens now that it's hung Can Labour still win or has conservative won 100%[/QUOTE] Well!... Erm... We don't really know. As it looks there could be another election in a years time.

Meanwhile, here's this cat. [img]https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/live-experience/cps/624/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2017/6/9/a196d13b-ad74-4161-940e-adb46fe35f5a.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=TrannyAlert;52332056]Okay so what happens now that it's hung Can Labour still win or has conservative won 100%[/QUOTE] It depends on who can form a minority government.

[QUOTE=Thomo;52332081]Make this cat the prime minister instead.[/QUOTE] i dunno, have u seen his policies on mice and small birds?

[QUOTE=a-cookie;52332083]i dunno, have u seen his policies on mice and small birds?[/QUOTE] Hes got all the good policies, the best.

I don't get whats going on, the tories won yet everyone seems to be acting like they didn't? Can somebody explain in very simplistic caveman-like terms for a very, very stupid person like me?

Can somebody explain in very simplistic caveman-like terms for a very, very stupid person like me?[/QUOTE] Conservatives didn't win by a large enough margin to control the government when they was expected to.

Can somebody explain in very simplistic caveman-like terms for a very, very stupid person like me?[/QUOTE] May's goal was to strengthen her majority. She lost it and the parliament is now hung/balanced.

[QUOTE=madmanmad;52332088]I don't get whats going on, the tories won yet everyone seems to be acting like they didn't? Can somebody explain in very simplistic caveman-like terms for a very, very stupid person like me?[/QUOTE] Sure they "won" by getting the most seats, but they don't have enough seats to take total control of Parliament, and as a result will need another party to work with them to make up the missing seats. Given the shitshow that was the last coalition I hope nobody is dumb enough to work with them. And I hope May gets the boot for this disastrous outcome for the Tories.

RIP hard-brexit

Can somebody explain in very simplistic caveman-like terms for a very, very stupid person like me?[/QUOTE] This whole election was essentially a gamble by May to capatalise on her high ratings to increase the tory majority before Brexit fully kicked in so that they'd get more or less free rein over it. Not only did she reduce the Tory seats in government, she lost the majority altogether. This kind of a fuck up could well see her resignation.

Can somebody explain in very simplistic caveman-like terms for a very, very stupid person like me?[/QUOTE] the tories had a majority, May decided to have an election since she thought they would win and get a even bigger majority. in the end they lost the majority so despite having the most seats, they lost the control to the parliament.

Schadenfreude sustains me. Thank you.
