BBC was saying the Tories have to win all but one outstanding seat. One seat just called for Labour so they literally have to win them all and that's not happening.

That's only if Sinn Fein takes their seats, though, right? which isn't going to happen.

Would there be any incentive for the DUP in refusing to form a government?

Antipodian here: Don't they just need 322 seats if SF doesn't participate?

If the Tories lose one more. They can't.

I'm pretty sure they've already crossed that line, right? Tory+DUP=323 right now, which is enough

BBC predicting 319 for the tories. This leaves them with a majority of 1 if you exclude sinn fein.

I thought they needed 322 w/out SF?

Apologies if it's been asked and answered before, but I'm a dumb american: If I live in NI and want to vote for "the good guys," who would that generally be? The SDLP? SF?

SF are not considered the good guys by anyone but SF supporters. SDLP are dead in the water, due to fundamentalist Catholic social policies and seeming irrelevance.

Alliance are perfectly middle of the road and have the most excellent leader in the formidable Naomi Long. I really wish Naomi was First Minister but that is highly unlikely for the foreseeable.

Again apologies, but why is SF considered so terrible?

Edit: also, no apologies needed. We're obsessed with politics in "are wee prawvince" and we know it's complicated. We don't mind explaining or answering anything. Relish it, in fact.

Ah, sure, that makes sense. Thanks!

Or perhaps... If Snape were revealed to not only be a good guy, but one of the most important ones on the side of good and always acting in their best interest?

(Yes I know this post is from a ton of pages ago and that this isn't an original observation.)

Also yes, nth-ing the "as a US leftist I am deriving happiness from your election because ours have been poo poo" sentiment.

If anyone is actually curious about Rowling's take on this, her twitter page has exactly zero references to Corbyn, but does have this 14-tweet thread:

(n.b. I don't disagree that this is not a good thing to do)

also n+1th-ing that sentiment

Supposing there were another election, when would that be? Would there be time for more campaigning, or would it just go straight to a vote?
