Utter conjecture and fantasy. Do the words "coalition of chaos" ring any bells? Who was it who said that? I used to live in Dublin. Having spoken to some Irish friends they are very worried about the influence the DUP will have from both an Irish and NI perspective. Add to this that decisions impacting London will be taking place in Belfast. This is a worrying outcome. Theresa May warned us about an unstable coalition of chaos, propped up by terrorist sympathisers - she didn't mention that she would be leading it!

Been too busy to contribute to the thread today and not read it since this morning but am guessing the right-wing Holers are standing their ground in a General Custer influenced way? Missed you last night.

Another instant decision by Mrs May like the election itself may have serious repercussions in Ireland not that she will have considered that.

The cynics would say that it almost seems, perish the thought............scripted.

Isabel Oakeshott getting large applause in a LONDON studio saying Corbyn doesn't have the moral or numerical right to claim he can form a government. She said this because of Alastair Campbell digging the knife in over Tory/DUP being beyond her. IO thinks she's not great by any means but she's what we have and there's nobody out there right now in a serious time. She's not wrong. Had to Google her. She seems to be talking sense. And would. Like a dragon rampant.

How on earth can we expect Theresa May to treat extremism seriously when she is colluding with known terrorists?

The relevance is that you said the The DUP are a revolting group of people, Corbyn would of course throw in his lot with the IRA MPs if they took their seats, and they are a far more revolting group of people. Of course May is not a hypocrite and a liar for trying to form a coalition, any party in her position would. May said 3 days ago that if she lost 6 or more seats Corbyn would be PM propped up by the SNP. Liar and hypocrite

Now that the results are virtually all in, what is evident is that c.55% of votes cast were in favour of rejecting austerity. That now is clear and unequivocal. 10 points clear. Theresa May now has no mandate for virtually anything but certainly no mandate for further cuts. This is certainly a victory for those who believe that such policies damage our economy and our vital public services. I'm disappointed Labour didn't win, but it would have been like Lazarus if they had and clearly Corbyn outperformed expectations enormously. Given many seats labour didn't win have gone from safe to marginal another election this year would provide a genuine opportunity for a labour victory and would allow Corbyn to be much more ambitious in targeting those now marginal seats. The DUP are a revolting group of people with a horrible record on women's rights and LGBT equality. Not to mention their links to paramilitary loyalist groups. Not surprised May has handed them the balance of power in what can only be described as a weak and desperate move. It's almost tragic to watch May's demise from strong and stable to deluded power clingeronerer. House of Cards pales in comparison. Thing is I worry that no good will come of it all.

I'm worried about the same thing. It could even be a disaster if she hangs on and delivers the poor Brexit deal she likely will.
