Calm down love. 'So can the Tories' what? Govern as a minority? That's precisely what I said. And what wishful thinking? Did you not see the part of my post where I specifically said I don't think this is likely? I've been saying the same in several threads over the last few days. Honestly, does anyone on here read posts before they respond to them? All I'm pointing out is your inaccuracy in saying that Labour could not under the parliamentary arithmetic form a government, because it seems a lot of people don't actually understand how hung parliaments work.
The Queen's Speech will pass, but don't underestimate the number of moderate Tory backbenchers who are going to make this parliament as difficult as possible for the PM, particularly in attempting to water down her vision of Brexit (which the DUP also don't support, btw). If you think this is all going to be plain sailing, you're kidding yourself.
