Parley Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 A hung parliament is never good. You can end up with 5 years of dysfunctional government. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that no results have been announced yet I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion. According to the BBC Exit polls are showing the conservatives will get the most seats but not a majority.

Against a coalition? It's dead level. Anyone's game. And I can't see the lib Dems joining the Tories again. NI may hold the balance? Can anyone tell us how that could work? SNP working with labour?

Parley Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 The party with the most seats has the moral right to seek a coalition and govern. To have a coalition of all losing parties against the party with most seats is not going to be accepted by the people and wouldn't happen.

Because if the polls are right it signifies a large loss in seats for the conservatives and Teresa May's is likely to either resign or be forced out.

Parley Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 The polls are showing the Conservatives winning. So I think the idea of the leader resigning when they win is ridiculous. Did Malcolm Turnbull resign when he won the Australian election by 1 seat ? No he didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May will need 326 to retain a slim overall majority. Nobody but the Ulster Unionists are going to go into a coalition with them and the Ulster Unionists are not going to be interested in legislation which does not directly impact NI. These numbers suggest it may not be possible for anyone to form a working government so potentially another election? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was an early unscheduled election called for no other reason other than to increase a majority as it's main stated purpose.

Will BoJo stick his head above the parapet for an election re-run or Gove. Picking Gove would surely be heaven-sent for Labour second time around.

It is a massive vote against a hard brexit. Obviously no deal isn't better than any other deal. I just wonder whether whether they will accept the democratic will of the people of whether they will throw their toys out of the pram? It's a shame really.

If only she'd been a bit more strong and stable. I fancy Hammond, but not sure he has the numbers. Rudd may lose her seat. IDS is out I think, same with bojo. This was an anti brexit vote. Hague maybe as a care taker? The public would choke on Gove. If they couldn't stomach may... Edited June 9, 2017 by newjez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
