We just heard Hillary wouldn't give a speech about losing around that time and we all were able to go to bed. These guys are gonna be up until the next morn with a headache awaiting the results and then cure that hangover with a trip to the pub.

SpiderHyphenMan posted:so is corbyn def not gonna be PM or...? the conservatives have a single minority party favorable to them, the DUP (irish unionists), and their seats should bump con slightly over the top. even if this doesn't happen, it's unlikely corbyn can pull support from the like six parties he would need to negotiate with to form his own coalition.

Another massive upset in Brighton Kemptown, a nearly 10,000 vote majority. Looking more and more likely like less than 320 for Tories, end of May's career.

This is what "settling for less" SHOULD be, politically. Not the "oops we lost 99% of the country but hey we have the white house for a couple years" bullshit the Democrats like to pull.

Pretty much, 'well like a month ago we were polling at 20% or whatever and now we've surged and caused the opposition party to lose their majority so hey, silver lining even if we didn't fully win' is worlds away from 'yea well so what if we had to sell out every actual progressive value, we have a fancy title now!'

anime was right posted:doesnt look like it but now he doesnt have to take credit for brexit... Yeah this is the thing. A lot of Tories probably wish they'd never won in 1992. If in the long run this sets up a 1997 of the left, so much the better.

can the DUP actually join a coalition or would that violate the good friday accords? or do they have some other way of "joining a coalition" in an informal manner?
