Second election this year very possible.

(5,255 posts). . . the pro-Scottish independence maniacs, right? Since I think the idea of Scottish secession is very bad, I'm glad to hear they're losing steam.

(52,205 posts)But I'm reading that the minority parties are unlikely to team up with the conservatives, so it would then fall to corbyn.

(10,303 posts)650 seats... but Sinn Fein don't take theirs. They have 7. So effectively need 321 for majority. DUP in Northern Ireland have 10. So 311 Conservatives plus 10 DUP will get a majority in Parliament.
Broadcasters forecast 316 seats for the Conservatives.
So it will be a minority Conservative government, propped up by the DUP.
Unless DUP will support a rainbow coalition (Lab, SNP, LibDem, Plaid Cymru, Green, others)
