Humor me here: Lab/SNP/Lib Dem coalition gets you to 314 IF Exit Polls hold true (and I can't imagine there won't be at least a 5 seat margin of error). Add Green seat and you get 315. Is there a way for them to form a Government with the 22 others? Apologies for my nativity.
Yes, but...
Sinn Fein have ruled out working with Labour. So, on the numbers they're projecting at the moment, there's no way Labour will be part of a ruling coalition. But that doesn't mean they can't govern as a minority coalition.
May thought Corbyn was so unelectable that she called an election. So did I to be fair. Over the last few weeks Corbyn has absolutely proved her wrong. She is history
I don't think Corbyn has had to do much at all. If Labour could have found a charasmatic leading candidate they would have strolled this
1. compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others.
Just because you don't get it doesn't mean he doesn't have Charisma. The Labour Party membership voted overwhlemingly for him... twice... and now, despite all the smears, despite almost no support from withing his party, and despite being written off as a beardy political no-mark, he's won large numbers of people over in the last few weeks
This surge in support isn't despite him, it because of him and the vision of the country he is selling.
Absolutely no way of dismissing the popularity on the ground for Corbyn (nor the ineffectiveness of May / Tory campaign).
Do generally wonder if a lot of those people voting for Corbyn don't really have a clue what they are actually voting for because a socialist labour government (with a top table governance of Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott) doesn't feel very 2017 to me.
And a hung parliament is a disaster for everyone imo
Hung parliament would be disaster for Brexit negotiations - politicians keep calling it wrong. May and Cameron have both taken a huge gamble in respect of the election and Brexit referendum.

Worse for Labour than exit poll said.
Exit poll predicted 75/15, result was 65/25.

Conservative majority but smaller than it was.

Who the fuck puts fox hunting in the manifesto in 2017? Someone with their head up their ass, and expecting a stroll in the park - that's who.
3/1 Betfair
UKIP down 16%.
Hopefully the country is more like Newcastle than Sunderland.
