I was under the impression that a minority government doesn't work out since they'll never get anything passed. Or everyone else can vote no confidence... which triggers another election, I think.

A minority party can govern if it can convince other parties not to vote no confidence.

Of course that causes a lot of backroom deals for it to work.

Fair enough.

Still has to be pretty embarrassing to call for an election when you already have a majority... and then lose it.

We're also hitting Sinn Fein not showing up to parliament having an effect territory.

Then again, everything I know about the UK election I know because of ya'll.

One of my favorite moments in my life was living abroad in England during the previous election in 2015, getting my masters in Broadcast Journalism, I was able to cover the election all night. Because I lived in Sheffield, home of the Lib-Dems, I got to meet their leader, Nick Clegg, the very instant his party was demolished.

I was also able to meet Ed Miliband, head of Labour at the time, as he was in Doncaster, a nearby constituency. Both Labour and the Lib-Dems were hoping to work together and both flopped that night. Miliband bowed out the following morning.

It was fascinating to be a part of in person.

Did Brexit wake up ambivalent voters or something?

Theresa May was a fucking moron and talked about stupid shit she should have saved for AFTER the election.

Remember all those things that popped up in here with it being talked about "She has such a huge lead she can say this shit and be fine"? Turns out she can't.

We don't really have anything in place to allow it.

Besides, when she called it she was fine. It was after that it was a problem. Shit's already going south for conservatives here.

yeah, the Comey testimony didn't change anything significant, except for maybe Sessions. I thought the testimony would be more positive to Trump because GOP senators would have the opportunity to attack his credibility but nobody really did that. he came out pretty much unscathed unless you think him being leaker hurt him (and that much was obvious before he ever sat down)
