She will go but is a rigid self-serving opportunist, so won't go immediately.

She did nothing during the referendum run-up last year, by stealth to keep her chances hot for PM position. She didn't appear in free public spots during this campaign, only stage managed setups., she is calculating and fairly ruthless in her own interests - the reason she called this election.

A lightweight in many aspects that will likely only go when forced or drinks from a poisoned chalice.

She would go quickly if loyal to her party or country, or threatened behind the scenes

A bit of a big assumption there - she's out of her depth. She won't stand again, so the incentive has disappea_ed. Not able to show much and not motivated to show much to get to be PM again

Somehow the UDA, sorry DUP have a say in our government. The fucking DUP. A party that wants to bring in a law that makes it possible to discriminate against anyone that's LGBT. A party that rejected same sex marriage even though they cast a vote in Northern Ireland for it. A complete shambles.

I think if you look at the others most have things you would not like just like us .. I think things will get better but will take time and she need more money in her pot .. as she wish to make changes and that will only come from us leaving the EU putting back into things like NHS lots she wish to do .

Come on you're not falling for that shit are you? Here in Scotland we were promised if we voted no (which we did) in the referendum the NHS would be fixed, shipyard jobs would be saved (which have now been lost) and that a no vote would keep us in the EU. Don't fall for their shit anymore.. it's a trap.

Which I exactly what we would become after Corbyn bankrupted us. What's the saying - 'it's the economy stupid' (note I am quoting a not calling you stupid ). If the economy tanks then everyone is worse off - this is the fundamental flaw in the whole argument that Corbyn will make us better off.

In the old days people made sacrifice to make ends meet now people expect someone else to sort it for them so they can drive to foodbanks whilst texting on their mobile phones

"Are we really the 5th largest economy in the world? It sounds more like we are a poor 3rd world country."

Disagree. We have a very high standard of living, relatively low crime and corruption, favourable rates of tax and a favourable GDP per capita.

It's just that we're experiencing a couple of years of unp_edictable political activity as people become disenfranchised with the established politicians and parties.

Really strange. The left are celebrating but complaining about a possible coalition with the DUP. The left are celebrating but still lost by 57 seats.

The right are despondent but won with the balance of power being held by the further right.

It's a shame they can't all do what they're supposed to do and work together for the good of the people who put them there

it is estimated that 3.4 million people under labour and tory goverments (both having big majorities) from tony blair to present day

will be born into some form of poverty and have no way of escaping it throughout their life and die in some form of poverty

also they say a generation will not be able to buy a property from the same period

Lost their seats due to Scottish labour telling their voters to vote for the tories, which subsequently put the tories into number 10. Also, many people I know (who support independence) voted labour due to supporting Corbyn, which also fucked the snp and put the tories in power.

The problem with the word 'poverty' is that the definition used, is 'an income of 60% of the median income' .

In theory, if you lived in Monaco, where the average salary was £1M, you would be in poverty on £600k.

So, there are lots of people who are really badly off and struggling. But, I don't like the word poverty being used in that context. I think it is used to over-dramatise a problem.

Hardly- have you actually looked at the SNP MPs, their policies or performance? There is a reason why they experienced losses, why labou_ed gained, why the Tories won and why some parties have all but disappea_ed. Rather than simply chuck snide remarks about supporters of any party, maybe try and understand why people vote in the way that they do so that some progress can be made - even if just to offer some decent opposition.

Not sure of all their policies, but I like the being independence one. I wonder what will happen to wales and ireland, there could be a hard border, sometimes it is hard to understand why people vote like they do. I would never understand why someone would vote for the torys, although they did say on the news that this election was better for labour as they gained lots of seats, corbyn is like a modern day rocky balboa, a people champion.

Not a chance.

May's campaign was truly atrocious. Corbyn's was very good. Despite this, Labour were a country mile off getting anywhere near a majority. If they are so far off after these circumstances - they have not a chance of governing again for a long time. The "splits" within will surface again before long.

Despite all the media hype (and whilst acknowledging that it was a bad night for the Tories) Labour remain way behind because they have a leader who is unfit to lead anything.

But what they have on their side is the young people. 18-25 year olds came out and voted. Engaged in politics and influencing change is what they will do from now on, all because of Jeremy Corbyn so I feel he has succeeded where many have failed.

That is good, the reason it took so long is cos the torys couldnt believe it, so made them re count several times

"Good news everyone, the election ends in hung parliament, she fails to win the majority and well done to labour, should may resign? "
no.. dont think she should.

Still got way more seats than Labour... they got more seats so for me should fairly have it.

She got more votes and a higher percentage than labour so no reason for labour to celebrate.

She will be gone in three months as her own party will bury her as soon as they find a new leader.

"This means we will have no opposition for decades, which is dangerous in politics, the only one that I can see challenge them is snp.

Who lost 37% of their seats? And are only in Scotland? Yes, cos they usually dont agree what may does so they speak for the rest of us.

Rest of us? The losses prove that they do not do that.

The speak for some, but not as many that the Tories speak for.That is right, the speak to those with common sense, not the tory supporters lol.

Hardly- have you actually looked at the SNP MPs, their policies or performance? There is a reason why they experienced losses, why labou_ed gained, why the Tories won and why some parties have all but disappea_ed. Rather than simply chuck snide remarks about supporters of any party, maybe try and understand why people vote in the way that they do so that some progress can be made - even if just to offer some decent opposition.Not sure of all their policies, but I like the being independence one. I wonder what will happen to wales and ireland, there could be a hard border, sometimes it is hard to understand why people vote like they do. I would never understand why someone would vote for the torys, although they did say on the news that this election was better for labour as they gained lots of seats, corbyn is like a modern day rocky balboa, a people champion. "

Unsure why as Scotland cannot afford to be independent. In Salmonds p_ediction the oil revenue for the first quarter of this year was in the billions, but in reality it was a deficit of over £200 million. Even revenues for property tax, which is devolved.

Wales certainly could not be independent and I say that as a very patriotic Welsh person. In wanting the best for my country I know that won't be found in independence.

Corbyn a people's champion? How short your memory is. You are not a champion just because you stand against the Tories. A real champion would have dealt with the issues in his party and won.........

You see they can all say they will do this and that but loads don't lets see if she hold ture to her word.

Come on you're not falling for that shit are you? Here in Scotland we were promised if we voted no (which we did) in the referendum the NHS would be fixed, shipyard jobs would be saved (which have now been lost) and that a no vote would keep us in the EU. Don't fall for their shit anymore.. it's a trap. "

Having read through the comments here, a lot are saying the Conservatives won. As I understand our election system, nobody has won! Whilst they may have claimed the most seats, they failed to get the majority that would mean they have a Govt. Therefore, May is attempting to form a minority Govt with the support of the DUP. This has to be ratified by the House of Commons, when the Queen's speech and budget is presented in 2 weeks. This can be voted down by parliament, as has occur_ed in our election history. This would give Labour the opportunity to also put forward the proposal of a Queen's speech and budget.

Oh I don't disagree with you. I also don't support the idea of a Conservative Govt. I would like to see her attempt be voted down and Labour's be voted in. However, I only see any minority Govt lasting, at most, a year and a general election will be called, such is the political history of our nation.

Given all the back stabbing and the number of Tory MPs speaking out against May, might it be that a number of her own MPs vote against her? I know it would be crazy to do so... but seems anything might happen these days.

Unfortunately, nobody can p_edict how some of the Conservatives will vote either. It would appear that May will have some opposition in her own party after the last 2 months, which culminated in a shock result for her. A poor campaign, which showed holes in her rhetoric of "Strong and Stable," got the better of her and has come back to haunt her.

It's just been on the news the DUP will support the Tory government on a confidence and supply basis. This means the Queens speech will pass and a Conservative government will be formed. I think it's just wishful thinking from Labour supporters that tories would vote against. It's in the national interest now a government is formed so brexit negotiations start in 8 days time.

The two terrorist attacks meant that unlike Jeremy Corbyn, Teresa May had to concentrate on security instead of campaigning. That meant she could not counter the dementia tax issue properly and allowed Jeremy Corbyn the chance to make political capital out of dubious policing claims.

If the attacks had not happened Teresa May would have a slightly increased majority in Parliament, not a huge majority but possibly around 10 or 15 extra seats.

What a cock up. Seems anything a politician touches goes wrong. Maybe we need to hand over decision making to robots

My opinions.. Like anyone gives a damn

May equals egotistical idiot we never voted for.. What possessed her to tell us to trust her then not feel the need to explain herself when the election OBVIOUSLY moved from Brexit?

As a servant of the people, that was piss poor.

Corbin equals a complete fantasist if he thinks he can supply all the freebies he promised without bankrupting the country, by taxing only those on over £85k.

Sturgeon equals some sorta cute ish bint who does a nice line in sexy ish business suits which must be hiding some right sexy undies. Having said that obviously she would prefer masturbation as she couldn't possibly have any kind of union

The liberal bloke whose name escapes me, just want to pat him on the head and tell him to come back next time when he is more bigger

Hard Brexit. Were we really convinced the threat was bad? Instead we are now saying, apparently, "Its OK johnny foreigner, give us any old deal, we will accept anything.." Madness.

Terror attacks. I am not happy about there being 20000 less police and it affects our safety. However, not from terrorists. They would protect us from violent criminals and bad or dangerous drivers. How many people die in non terrorist violence or on our roads EVERY DAY? That's where we need more police. You will not completely stop terror with more police on the streets. If we cannot take away the perverted desire to commit these acts, there will be more. It was right the Tories are being taken to task over the falling police numbers, and I'd like to see the _eductions in armed services being addressed also. But, it was wrong to link the terror attacks to the election

Right, sorry to have bo_ed you all... I'm off now
