May will stay, the PUD associated with Conservative to make a majority.
Conservatives have a bit less power maybe...


A lot less. This is a blindingly brilliant result.

Yes. Brexit is all kinds of up in the air now.

I love our quirky democracy. Poor old May looking very depressed during this. I swear she was choking back tears at one point. Never seen someone hold their seat and look so dour.



Her face when the results for her constituency were being read out.

I genuinely feel bad for her. It's gotta be really tough.

Honestly worried about the DUP though. They are full on fucking mental. Almost as bad as the GOP. Young Earth Creationists who believe line dancing is a sin and the pope is the antichrist.

Corbyn won an amazing personal victory last night. He has been blasted by the press and even by members of his own party but he increased his party's share of the vote by ~11%. That's a big shift. He showed all who doubted him that he has what it takes to lead the labour party more than any other labour leader has had since Blair and he got about the same popular vote as Blair. He fought an amazing campaign and I'm proud to be one of the people who stood by him when everyone else was giving in to the media onslaught.

He didn't need to win the election (though of course that would have been nice). That was extremely unlikely from the start. But what he did achieve was phenomenal and far beyond what anyone, even staunch Corbynites, expected 6 weeks ago.
