Of course he can.
You are forgetting that were Labour short of an overall majority.
Which I think they won't be looking at yesterday's results.
There's now NO other party who would commit to doing anything to assist the Cons to be in power.
The SNP wouldn't dare vote to bring down a minority Labour government.
Thereby helping the Cons back in via another possible election.
How the SNP would sell that to Scotland and inflict the Cons on them again.
They really would be likely finished then.
The votes in parliament wouldn't be there to risk another Con government.
It's incredible that in Parliament, every single other Party there.
Wants the Cons out and will not risk anything to have them back in.
If it was more necessary then the Lib Dems would be up for at least a voting agreement.
They've had to wait 10 years nearly to get their revenge on the Cons turning against them.
Plus you don't need 326 for an overall majority.
The speaker and the 3 deputy speakers don't usually vote in parliament.
Labour has to put up 2 and the Cons put up 2.
Sinn Fein currently on 7 seats don't come to Westminster.
So that leaves 639 MPs who vote in debates.
Not 650.
So only 320 is needed for to have overall majority votes in the Commons.
Not 326.
