Indy Ref detoxified the Tories' brand in Scotland. Ruth Davidson should be the puppet master of the next Tory leader.

She should just announce she's resigning right now. UK cannot afford a lame duck PM right now.
Agreed.

Why would she stay on after this hot mess?

I think she's indicated repeatedly she's not the sharpest tool in the box.

Lmao his seat went 75% Leave and he still comes in 3rd.

Is there any reason for the DUP surge? I thought they would perform weakly, seeing their lackluster results in the NI assembly election.
Ulster Unionist Party (more moderate unionist party) has utterly collapsed.

Lib Dems are gaining seats but losing vote share...perhaps tactical voting for Labour in seats the LDs have no chance?

Any chance that Brexit doesn't happen after this election outcome?
The Lib Dems and Labour can probably force a referendum on Brexit terms now.

Already hate the SNP spin about winning more seats than the "unionist parties."

Sorry to ask, but why are people so focused on Priti Patel of all people? You'd think there's at least a dozen more credible leadership contenders.
She's pretty, nonwhite, female and young.

NI looks like it will end with 10 DUP, 7 SF and the one Independent. She's a unionist IIRC, but would she prop up a Con government ?
Sylvia Hermon normally votes with Labour.

For the first time since 1970 no SDLP MPs were elected. They did not exist in 1970.

For the first time since 2010, no UUP MPs were returned. Robin Swann just became UUP leader a few months ago after their poor result in the Northern Ireland elections, and he may have to leave already.

With 7 seats for Sinn Fein, a majority is 322. That means the magic number for Conservatives is 312, with which they can form a government with the DUP.

What kind of compromises will DUP demand?
They are uberconservative socially...probably a more conservative social policy, a hardline unionist (maybe a DUP member?) as Northern Ireland Secretary.
