I would chuckle all weekend. She has failed in her task spectacularly to present to the EU a strong and stable government. Brexit will be on the backburner now I reckon especially if there's another election in a few months time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main party gets its budget passed on agreed terms, they have a minority administration, support for all policies is on a case-by-case basis. Less strong and stable than a coalition, but workable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes in 1974 labour were the largest party by 5 seats so they held another election that year and they got a majority Edited June 8, 2017 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
