The Conservatives are set to be the largest party in the UK parliament, but without an overall majority, says the latest BBC forecast. It shows gains for the Labour Party after Thursday's general election. This would be a humiliation for Prime Minister Theresa May, who chose to call the election to try to strengthen her hand in talks with the EU on Brexit. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn urged her to resign, but she said her party would "ensure" stability in the UK.

She’s wishy washy
Has been dealt the best hand in years, and she’s screwing it up.
May called a snap election and her party got snapped.
The coalition building will be fascinating.
Amazingly, this could mean Boris Johnson becomes Prime Minister, which would be the best we could ever hope for as a realistic possibility n
“Has been dealt the best hand in years, and she’s screwing it up.”
She is no Thatcher.
The SNP losses are the biggest surprise.
The cost of bad political leadership.
Agreed.
Corbyn is right on this one. May needs to go. She should’ve gone as soon as she started kissing Sadiq Khan’s ass.
Does this mean that Brexit is less likely to be completed on schedule or at all?
She should have never been PM. It should have been Boris Johnson.
And now it looks like it could very well be Boris.
“Does this mean that Brexit is less likely to be completed on schedule or at all?”
The Brexit Door has been blocked.
this could be a huge win if Boris gets it lol
312 with 12 left...
Leadership election now would be crazy!! I don’t think there’s ever been anything like that before.
I don’t think she’ll go willingly.
It depends how dissatisfied backbenchers are.
“Does this mean that Brexit is less likely to be completed on schedule or at all?”
Yes !
This whole election was an absolute fiasco from beginning to end.
May wanted a stronger majority so she would have a stronger negotiating position. Now the euros know she is on the way out, and they will just stall.
She lost seats to Kook Corbyn. She is John Major in a pantsuit !
If she had any honor, she’d stand down, like Chamberlain.
Between Brexit, “immigration issues”, and this outcome...this is chaos. I mean the potential for civil war in the UK.
Anarchy for the U.K.
It’s coming sometime and maybe
May is toast - UK needs a wartime PM to secure Brexit, crush muzzies
