To think Teresa May has just won the election?

[desertmum]

Listening to TM outside Downing Street vs JC - I think she may have just won the election - saying what people wnat to hear and hopefully some of what she says needs to be done will be followed through with.

May just threw away 4 years of guaranteed rule in favour of humiliating defeat. Go May!

So Tories did better than Labour - ha ha ha indeed. Let us see the final result and what the make up is of what May will lead. Go May.

Are you sure you understand what happened overnight? And the implications for May?

Theresa May is sharpening her sword as we speak. What a disaster for her.

Oh how I have "lolled" at this thread this morning

Yes, just adding my lols. Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Sun, can spin on my finger.

May is ultimately finished. Weak and wobbly. EU27 must be laughing at the utter mess of British politics.

Yay! No more smirking from May! Fantastic campaign by JC well done the young, thanks to ex labour voters of UKIP coming back into the fold and lastly thanks to remainers for helping JC to a better result than Blair achieved percentage wise. We may have not won but my we have a strong opposition!

EU must be thinking WTF?

Suppose June will be the end of May.

May just threw away 4 years of guaranteed rule in favour of humiliating defeat. Go May!

The schadenfreude is delicious, isn't it? She called the election for entirely selfish reasons and it's backfired spectacularly.

I would have wished her a majority of 1 though. She would at least have had to at least clear up the mess herself. As it is, she'll retire and somebody else has to deal with it.

well done the young
Exactly - it gives me hope that we have an idealistic younger generation again.

EU politicians are openly laughing at the Tories:

"Cameron gambled, lost. May gambled, lost. Tory party beginning to look like a casino. — Sophie in 't Veld (@SophieintVeld)"

Cameron and May and their ilk haven't lost though. They've made a lot of money off the back of the chaos they've created. They don't care so long as their bank accounts are nice and plump.

So much for Labour's thoughts that Corbyn might be PM.*

May has no majority. She based her campaign on having a strong mandate to push through a hard Brexit. She doesn't have that. She called this election for cynical political gain....and it backfired hahahaha

Well we could all be looking at another election in the near future. And even another referendum which I am not sure I would want. Wow! Whatever the Tories do they are really weak and vunerable at this time and labour if they can rally the minorities in a great position to vote May down at every turn.

"Whatever the Tories do they are really weak and vunerable at this time and labour if they can rally the minorities in a great position to vote May down at every turn. "

Yet, they have a great majority than Labour. And there's many minorities that don't actually like Labour.

Op YABU

Will you bag for further commentary?

Don't see the minorities queuing up to save May at all apart from DUP who will want her head in exchange for coalition. You also forget that JCs policies are liked by a lot of the minorities, maybe not all but some, enough to make Mays life a misery.

Actually, I do wonder whether longer term this will play to TM's underlying preferences. She was a remainer, appears to havetranslated the referendum into the need for a harder brexit but if, as some say this will result in a softer brexit, then the outcome will be closer to her personal beliefs.

Ha ha Op!

Tories do not have a working majority.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha etc.
This is like the reverse of waking up after the 2015 election, the referendum and the American election. Fucking brilliant. Serves her right for being so smug.
