Posted on | June 9, 2017 | 3 Comments
After a couple of devastating terrorist attacks Theresa May was able not to fall. She holds on to power by striking a deal with Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland. Tories needed 326 votes for the outright majority. As of the last count they have 319. They are only 7 seats short. However, with DUP’s 10 seats they got more than needed to form the government. Labor got 261 seats. Tori are 57 seats or 9% ahead of Labor.

This is not going to be a stable coalition. The DUP are not enthusiastic about Brexit. If the Conservatives want to remain in power, May will have to step down in favor of a more capable PM.

If May and the Tories can’t hold it together, Parliament will be dismissed and early elections will be called. Labor is then likely to pick up more seats and that would be a disaster.

they’ll hold together for the next 4 years. They are on the same page. They’ll see it through that GB leaves the EU and is re-born as a super-power
