Okay so UK people - the intricacies of the parliamentary system. What happens if no parties can agree to a majority coalition?

Sweet lord, you can vote until 10 pm in the UK? Here we are lucky if we can vote after 6PM.

So I know the Isle of Man has the oldest parliament of all time ever, but is it devolved like Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland?

Nonsense posted:So Labour can't even form a government with SNP? Nope, it's straight up 314 tories, 314 (Labour/LibDem/SNP). So there must be 12 others somewhere?

Of course, exit polls could be off a bit? But usually not by much and it's anyone's guess who the adjustments would come out for right?

So if May is forced out, she won't even have served a year as PM. Not as bad as George Canning, but awfully close.

Now, confirmed results come in tomorrow, basically, right? How crazy would it be if it turns out the exit polls were off in an even better way, Tories end up with 299, Labour can form a coalition with SNP+Libdems?

What I don't get, you have 331 seats, a simple majority. You're in good shape. Why get greedy and call a GE? I mean, I know let's really gently caress up Labour, but is there any benefit to having a bigger majority?

Even if the Tories hold the majority after the results come in, it is very very likely the Tories will gain at most 1 or 2 seats. There's no way this turns out to have been a good decision by May.

Wait, did Houghton already announce? Sky is saying Labour held, but only has 2 decided seats. If all the polls close at once, why does it take so much longer for the rest of this poo poo than Newcastle and Sunderland?

Yeah extrapolating results from Sunderland and Newcastle is even crazier than accepting the exit polls as fact.

Yeah I'm pegging Tories around 320 to 327. A very very minor majority or a coalition with some goofy parties. Either way, Theresa May is fuckin dead.

Sky is predicting Conservatives have no way to reach 326, but is also thinking Sinn Fein will form a coalition.

If the Tories get 325 seats and get one of the 'others' to hop over, that's a pretty poo poo coalition that can't get anything done, right?

Every upset like that pushes Conservatives down closer to 315 instead of near 325.

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.

34 seats to go, Tories need 15 of them to have a chance at forming government, they need 29 of them to get a majority.

So Sky is saying the Tories cannot get a coalition with Sinn Fein, Green, LibDem, Labour of course, or PC, leaving only DUP, so conservatives need at least 316 seats to get a one seat majority IF they get a coalition with DUP.

29 seats to go, Conservatives at 299, so majority is not mathematically eliminated yet. Come onnnnn.
