The Guardian is now displaying the outcome to show if a Tory-DUP coalition is possible.

Corbyn has called for May's resignation.

May shouldn't resign. She should in fact double down on not resigning.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Tories hold on to Southampton Itchen by a mere 0.1%.

The Green Party holds Brighton Pavilion. Good job Green Party.

Tory-DUP seems like the only viable government. That's gonna be really unstable though.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

If that even ends up being possible. Tory+DUP will probably make it above 326, but I counted the remaining seats and there's enough in-play ones to deny it with a few to spare.

[Leafsnail]

The thing is SF don't ever show up to parliament, so effectively there are 643 seats and you only need 322 for a working majority. Tories + DUP will cross that threshold, but that government would have a tonne of trouble passing anything since just a couple of rebellions in either party could lose it for them.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Laor was upset by the Tories surviving in Southampton, and held Newcastle-under-Lyme by an equally sharp 0.1%.

Edit: Not content to be upstaged, Plaid Cymru steals Ceredigion (+8%) from the LibDems by 0.3%.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Hmm...it's good, but not quite an unprecedented landslide. I might hold a poll on if Laor should get "b" or "u" back.

Judgement will be passed on the state of "Tory" once all seats are in.

The unmitigated winners in all this? Liberal Democrats. Despite taking less share of the national vote than they did two years ago, they've nearly doubled their representation in Parliament. LibDems are back, baby! Still mostly a third nipple in British politics (as they were before), but they're back!

Despite being minimally informed about British Politics, this makes me happy for some reason.

If that even ends up being possible. Tory+DUP will probably make it above 326, but I counted the remaining seats and there's enough in-play ones to deny it with a few to spare.

On a scale of Switzerland to North Korea, exactly how much of a shitshow is this for the politics of the Anglophone Isle?

A decent Greece. This range of outcomes was a considered scenario since May announced the election and people were like "uh, May, just because we're ahead in the polls while the government is static doesn't mean an election will take our majority to a supermajority, please stop refusing to debate Corbyn", but it's still a pretty sharp uptick for Laor.

Tonight's winners are Laor, LibDems, DUP, Green, Plaid Cymru, and Sinn Fein.

Tonight's losers are the Tories, SNP, UKIP, UDP, and SDLP.

I have a request that if they lose a letter, it's the R.

I want to talk about how the Toys are faring in parliament.

The last thing you need is a puppet government.

U is the only choice, here. If you give them back the b they're just americans squatting in the UK.

It's far from over. The Tories will still support Brexit and Laor now supports continuing Brexit. It is only the ravaged SNP,  LibDem, and the one Green who stand against the tide that shall sweep Britain from Brussel's shores.


Oh, and the Tories have taken revenge on LibDem in Richmond Park, snatching the seat away by 0.1% (that number sure is showing up a lot) and a mere forty votes. "Hurr hurr voting doesn't matter"

[Frumple]

Yeah, some of the margins were pretty impressive. Apparently one seat got decided by like literally two votes? It was single digit, anyway, if I'm not misremembering already. Definitely one of the elections in recent history to kick that But just one vote! nonsense in the crotch the hardest.
