xoxo Craig 55,649 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Theresa May will visit Buckingham Palace at 12:30 BST to seek permission to form a UK government, despite losing her Commons majority. The prime minister is attempting to stay in office on the understanding that the Democratic Unionist Party will support her minority administration. With one seat left to declare, the Tories are eight seats short of the 326 figure needed to command a majority. Jeremy Corbyn has urged her to quit, saying Labour is "ready to serve". After a disappointing night for the Conservatives, Theresa May faces ending up with 12 fewer seats than when she called the election and will need the support of other parties to govern. The Tories are forecast to end up with 319 seats ahead of Labour on 261, the SNP 35 and the Lib Dems on 12. The DUP won 10 seats. Combined, the Tories and the DUP would have 329 MPs in the Commons. Mrs May has signalled her intention to carry on in Downing Street, saying the country needs "stability" with the start of Brexit negotiations 10 days away. It is thought Mrs May will seek some kind of informal arrangement with the DUP that could see it "lend" its support the Tories on a vote-by-vote basis, known as "confidence and supply". The DUP is currently meeting to discuss what it has said is a "messy" situation.

RAMROD 117,093 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Hmm, nobody wants her it seems. Just heard from my best friend that he voted for Lib Dem since he didn't like May. And Corbyn for him is like, "he means well but typical starry eyed socialist." (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ ᶠʳᵒⁿᵗ ᵗᵒʷᵃʳᵈ ᵉⁿᵉᵐʸ (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic 11,922 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I doubt there will be another coallition. May will look to the DUP for their support but it wouldnt be a coallition. I doubt it anyway. Either way considering the smear campaign against Corbyn for his links to NI terrorists it is funny how Torys are looking to the DUP for help. DUP are probably one of the most right wing parties, opposed same sex marriage, climate change etc. Mess.
