Election 2017: DUP agrees 'confidence' deal with Tories
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2017-40236152


From what I understand it this is even less stable than what would have been achieved under a coalition. This is basically friends with benefits type scenario isn't it? So she couldn't even get a coalition to work with her ludicrous policies and going forward into Brexit.


JUST RESIGN WOMAN.

The DUP didnt want a coalition

Basically "throw us a bribe when you need something".

Yup, this is exactly what it is

[smudgie]

So basically they are carrying on doing what they have already been doing for years.
They are still making the numbers up so good on them.

Tories have been throwing bribes to other parties for years?

Why should she - she did better than Corbyn. Sick of people who can't accept a public vote. First Brexit now the election. She won - get over it.

But she didn't win though because otherwise she would have a majority government. Her own party is walking out on her and calling for her to resign. In what possible way is that winning?

They are indeed.
I'm just glad she was rejected by voters as to what she expected.
A much greater majority which could be highlighted to say she is right in her policies.

She failed to get it, even worse for her just 10 more seats to Labour and she would not have been in any position to get a Queens speech passed.
Anyway, problems could still rear it's head.
Ruth Davidson is a strong Con leader in Scotland.
She distanced herself from the social care plans.

She will be the influencing voice as to the Scottish MPs elected, they may cause very demanding problems for this useless Prime Minister.

Only a very weak government would consider this. The likelihood of the DUP dropping out of this very quickly is astoundingly high.

Lets hope so.

If we are going to be 100% accurate, she did win, she just doesn't have a big enough majority to carry out any legislation comfortably.

Many countries around europe have not had a working majority in decades. Its not a new phenomena. It just makes things a bit more interesting, and basically, nothing ever gets done

Don't talk ****e, they have plunged this country into the instability and sluggishness of a minority administration, nine days before the most important negotiations in modern British political history begin. And this in an election in which they sought to crush the opposition for a generation, and set up a one party state to dismantle our public services. This coalition of terrorist sympathising chaos couldn't be any less strong and stable than the fields of wheat Theresa May ran through

Majority or not she still won. Far from ideal, but she is still in a better position than Corbyn. Despite the hype, manipulation of young voters by Corbyn and his supporters and May's unpopularity she still beat Corbyn.

Maybe she is more suited to a less public role, but the Tories won and that is what counts, especially given the other poor choices.

This is going to be completely unworkable. I hope she keeps squatting in number ten because the longer she does, the more Labour can leave them to hang themselves

One thing I am pleased about this result however, is that the repulsive Tory manifesto is certainly going to have to be watered down, and each member of the Commons will rightly be able to play their part in scrutinising this administration and the Brexit negotiations. They've got no carte blanche mandate to **** this country over

Screaming at you thinking Labour had such a faultless time at the helm

Nobody is suggesting Labour were faultless. Tony Blair's NL was monstrous but that's dead and gone now.

We are talking about the present situation going on in number 10

Please direct me to where I've ever said that? I've been critical of the last New Labour government on many occasion. May I suggest you read posts properly.

Scream to yourself all you like, but the Tories have enacted this mess, and now they're going to lie in it.
