Sinn Fein don't take their seats. Wouldn't matter if they backed it or not. It's only 4 seats anyway.

My point is when you had a chance to lead you can't find no one. Now your complaints about May just sounds like perennial whining. You had your chance to put a brexiter in the hot seat and drive it your way... And failed to do so. I don't remember no intrigue on Boris, he just lacked spine. False claims on NHS and immigration were the news immediately after Brexit as I recall clearly.
May was in a rock and hard place and I doubt you or any 14 year old could do a better job. It was a lame job ofc, but that's the best possible at that time. A bit more spine would present a better picture to the plebs, but nothing really canybe achieved by anyone else in same place.
My alerts just exploded! 
Thanks for the answers everyone. I'll try and follow the thread.

May should get ousted and hopefully not a Tory majority.
What that means thereafter, feck knows, but I'll take either of the above.
I can't be doing an all nighter, I expect I'll wake up to see Tories have scraped a majority.
8-10 DUP, SDLP take the Labour whip and could have 2 maybe 3 seats.
The Russians would favour Corbyn so it could be a factor. Weak on foreign policy etc.
If the Tories, who have promised parliament a vote on the Brexit deal I think, stay in power, they might be forced to go for a soft Brexit or even reverse it.
A much, much softer Brexit would surely be the answer to a SNP/Labour/Lib coalition? I can't understand how they could join otherwise.
Can someone please explain what's going on for a first time voter. Not got a clue about exits polls and hung parliaments
Yup.Well they want to elect horrible cnuts, we already elected ours and it looked like they were going to win bigly.
Plus we don't matter.
Not enough seats, if the exit poll is right
Sounds bad.
Even if Conservatives end up with 20 extra seats, it shows the gamble for a snap election was a failure for May. She wanted to increase her mandate by 40+ seats, not 4.
Yep, petty buggers.
DUP quite happy to prop up the Tories.
8 in 2015, probably the same this time.
Bad for the Tories.
Oh I know, I mean if it was viable at all.
it is a failure for may, but it still leaves us with a tory government that doesn't need to compromise.
Biggest point isn't Tories not losing vote share, it's UKIP going Labour. Incredible really, not predicted.
She could still be pm for a while, what would most likely happen is an mp in a very safe seat would resign and she would stand there in the by-election
That's what I was wondering. Even if she gets the same result as before, she's wasted about 6 weeks, a lot of effort and money to gain nothing. At the least, it undermines her image as a brillaint leader that the Tories had built up since she took over.
They couldn't possibly do that. How on earth would they work out what to do with Brexit?
I am reading a typical Labour win in Sunderland. But not official yet.
Can't see it, why would any MP give up their seat for a failure of a leader who couldn't even hold their own seat?
No change in Tory vote and UKIP flocked to Labour?
but if the exit polls are right it still only gives them 314 , not enough.
It makes you think what could have been, had Labour got behind Corbyn and there wasn't all the infighting... still May probably wouldn't have called the election.
Yup. Newcastle. Go on Chi!
good point about sinn fein not taking their seats!!! that means a party only needs 223
I'm gutted I won't be making it much past 11. However I'll be up at 6.30 to pick up the tale

.Who would replace her ? Osborne, Johnson, Gove... ?
