UK General Election

Ask, and boy did I ask, and the Lord will provide.

Theresa has made a easy landslide into what looks like could be nail-bitter. I’m predicting a small majority for Conservatives.

Anyone else got predictions?

These exit polls are a disaster. I wish I had @Aragorn’s mason jar full of whiskey right about now.

How do you lose a snap election that you’ve called? Was the temporarily insane? How is this happening?

So… Corbyn, Lib Dems, SNP, Sinn Fein, the Greens?

Sinn Fein won’t take their seats, so if they are (as likely) the largest left wing party in NI, it is more like a debit of seats for Labour. More likely Tory minority government. So much for Brexit, I guess.

As predicted, Sinn Fein are not going to take their seats.

I would gladly send you a bottle of whiskey across the pond if I thought it would get there in time!

What a train wreck.

Not to mention utterly disappointing for those with brains and guts.

It is galling. Early days, but bad news thus far.

Hung Parliament with no majority. Theresa May has made the biggest fuck up since the Brexit referendum.

It’ll be a DUP coalition. They won enough, and SF won enough for a 2 seat coalition majority.

She’s fallen short of her goal but still has won and is in charge. All the Corbynistas are mad over the ā€œfascistā€ DUP being chosen.

As a Northern Ireland Catholic, seeing them in coalition does concern me. Not as much as the communist shaped bullet we just dodged, but still.

Understatement of the century.

Colossal fuck up award goes to her this year then. At least no lefties in charge.

Didn’t know that much about the DUP but I’m starting to like them. Understandable your distrust as a Catholic however.

They are a combination of the Tory far right and the US religious right. But hell, if anything will drive the Tories right, it’ll be this

Is the drive to the right good or bad in your eyes?
