You havenât a fucking clue. The Tories, lest we forget, are split down the middle on it and felt the wrath of the remainers last night. The DUP will have a hard job selling a hard Brexit to the thousands of Unionists whose livelihoods depend on a soft border.
They are a shambles on Brexit, both of them.
Mayâs team must be suicidal. What a line on the cv this will be.
Here donât be putting me down as a Tory.
Sure Iâm a scouser and Liverpool is Red mate.
Not so sure Geoff. The DUP are now pushing for a "soft Brexit " and Mays campaign was all about a hardliners approach. Now I have no doubt that Labour attracted a lot of voters based on other issues such as austerity etc, the fundamental reason for calling the election has been defeated.
The DUP are not going to give Sinn Fein any reason to try and trigger the referendum clause in the GFA.
They also find themselves stuck in the middle between Stormont and Westminster now. The role of Kingmaker could very easily backfire on both themselves and the Tories
A Tory-DUP coalition wonât last the year. Basically what you will have now is an extension of the campaign. Donât know who is going to front it for the Torys.
It wonât and all you need is Corbyn to promise another referendum and heâll be in the door.
Labour benefited from UKIP voters moving back to both the Tories AND Labour.
Tbf the smartest thing Corbynâs team did was obfuscate on Brexit. They didnât go all guns blazing about moving back from Brexit which would have pissed off the North, but their student and young voters in London are so engrossed in the Cult of Corbyn that they look past his odd position on Brexit.
Maybe weâll find out he was never actually leader of the Youkips at all. That seems to be a trend with other claims heâs made about himself.

The DUP are going to be rather irked about everybody in the British media calling them âthe Irishâ, as they are.
The Lib Dems automatically ruled out coalition. They wonât go for any sort of soft Brexit as a ruling party as they got burned so badly the last time. Labourâs position on Brexit is as all over the place as the Tories, they just want to be sounder to the EU in negotiations and less jingoism.
The position with the SNP is awkward on both sides. The SNP would he wary of being in coalition as we all see what happens when you commit to one. Scottish Labour as well would be pissed off I imagine.
The DUP are not compatible.
The others either wonât sit or are an irrelevance.
Labour just announced they are forming a coalition.
This is a great election in fairness
With who?
SNP and minority oarties
Junkers still anxious to get them out of the club
Heâll never get the numbers.
Labour will likely put forward a Queenâs Speech, which is an entirely different thing. Wonât have the votes.
Tories/DUP certain.
Heâs sticking it up May. - Letâs see how she likes it.
A note of caution for Labour going forward. This was an almost perfect storm of an election for Corbyn in that the leaders of the Tories, the Lib Dems and UKIP were all uniquely hapless.
The Lib Dems should do better under Vince Cable.
If Nigel Farage comes back, UKIP may recover somewhat although they wonât go back to to their previous vote share.
May likely wonât lead the Tories into another election even if she doesnât resign immediately.
The SNP actually outperformed their exit poll seat projection by one after holding Fife North-East by 2 (two) votes.
Theyâre on 35 seats.
The Tories shouldnât assume theyâll do as well in Scotland again.
People might tire of Ruth Davidson quicker than expected and the tactical voting dynamic will likely be different next time.
