If you're into the Julian calendar...

A lot is possible these days.

I have always thought it was a mistake to call the snap election, I think she'll end up with more or less what she had. It will look like she was opportunist and unsuccessful.

So was the election yesterday already? Who won?

It could be. At the moment it looks like the Tories will be the largest party but without a majority so another referendum could be forced. Small sample size, early days, lieing bastards etc.

But I'm hopeful that the Tories are taking it up the jacksie and that there will be a hung parliament. The SNP will lose seats but that was expected, we'll still be the third largest party at Westminster but good luck getting any English pundit to mention us.

I suspect the EU would let us back out of Article 50 if we asked nicely enough.

Oh won't it indeed, especially since it is totally not at all what everyone is thinking.

BBC busy trying to say the SNP lost the election in Scotland, despite getting by far the biggest chunk of the vote share (37%) and winning more seats (35 from 59) than the other parties put together.

Oh we'll get a spanking and have to make concessions all right.

The Tory vote in Scotland was an anti-Independence vote, the Labour vote in England was anti-Brexit, and UKIP have fucked right off. Most of the earlier profanity was against pundits who talked about swings to Labour from Tory while ignoring the other parties and the collapse of UKIP.

I'm off to Orkney tomorrow, where they've just re-elected Alasdair "Pants On Fire" Carmichael. Will be hard not to tell everybody I meet to go and fuck themselves.

Yes Labour won in England with the second most seats while the SNP lost in Scotland.

The witticism in the thread title (not mine originally) was supposed to be funny, but not many seemed to think the answer would be "yes". But now it looks like it might be.

Looks like Conservatives plus Labour, SNP, Lib Dems, or DUP gives a majority, although pretty thin if it's Lib Dems or DUP. Idle uninformed speculation from a person who doesn't know anything about this: SNP price for coalition is a second independence referendum with a binding outcome. Lib Dems - probably no coalition possible? DUP - price of a coalition is, don't abandon us.

How about a conservative/Sinn Fein coalition, which would make up exactly 50%? Apart from other difficulties, I think there is problem getting the Sinn Fein MPs to show up for work.

This Welsh party and Greens (well, Green) are not enough to make a difference in any coalition I can work out.

Or perhaps not. Looks like there is a deal with the DUP.

That lasts until they realise the DUP are worse than UKIP.
