While the final results were uncertain late Thursday, it seemed clear that Mrs. May’s bid to build up her slender majority had backfired badly and that the Labor Party and its beleaguered leader, Jeremy Corbyn, had far surpassed the expectations of just two months ago. While the Conservatives were on course to remain the single largest party in the House of Commons, the exit polls pointed to a “hung Parliament” that would require Mrs. May to cobble together a coalition to stay in power or even clear the way for Mr. Corbyn to try to put together a governing coalition of his own.

May should have left things alone instead of calling for an election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one who lives there, do you think the recent terror attacks in London affected the outcome? If so, that's pretty scary, isn't it?

They also promised to give pay rises and tax cuts left right and centre whilst May has said she is cutting benefits etc and making people wait for pay rises. Easy to vote for what gives jam now but not so easy to pay for it with bread and water next time around and that is what has happened all to often here Was May wrong to call an election 3 years before she needed to .. well hindsight is amazing and she took a gamble hoping to strengthen her position and lost spectacularly The clear picture is seen better when you know that other parties lost more than the conservatives did whilst Labour .. who are promising a land of milk and honey without saying how they will pay for it .. have won so many seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessings, -Ed if anything it should have been a landslide as she was talking tough on terrorism. but it seems the younger voters just cant get their head around brexit. and corbyn seems to have a strong following of young people.
