    322 enough to save Theresa's ass if DUP save the day.

    May is toast. Nothing will save her - save the Tories maybe.

    Honestly Corbyn would be wise to stay out of this. Tories would be in a mess internally and he has a head of steam. Wait 12 months and he could get a majority.

    Go now and he risks ruining it for himself as he couldn't get any of the policies through that people voted for.
    She's deadmeat. She'll resign first thing in the morning.
    @cantersaddick What do you think she'll resign *from* in the morning? She's Tory party leader and she's Prime Minister. She can quit as party leader whenever she likes, but there has to be a replacement lined up as PM. I'd be interested to know what you think.

    Find it very hard to have dislike to Clegg listening to this

    Kind of agree. I was taking the piss earlier about him speaking for so long, but it was quite a nice and important speech about unity.

    Sorry. To use the correct terninology. I think she will resign as party leaser in the morning and start the process of the party electing a new leader who will then take over as prime minister. Happy?

    I have said all along that whatever happens, it doesn't change the way I go about my life. If my taxes go up under Corbyn I will still sit in the office until 10pm every night and push for the next promotion for my kids.

    And you could have the most right wing Tory party ever and it wouldn't prevent me showing tolerance and respect to all individuals regardless of race or religion. Not effect what I give to charities. I don't need a government to dictate that.

    I therefore am enjoying seeing the democratic process play out.

    Yes it hasn't played out as I wanted - but I would rather the Tories had 322 seats than 260 odd which is where Labour are. It's all in the stability of the various minorities / coalitions on offer.

    Clearly the Tories need reform and I look forward to seeing where that goes.

    No offence, but I think your kids would prefer to see their dad.

    Geez, ol' Nigel is making some sense on Sky News.

    Not Farage's biggest mate, but his observations on Corbyn and May are spot on. May was wooden and very much part of the establishment, and Corbyn was passionate and a decent/friendly man.

    I thought it was hilarious. So much of this is like Veep and The Thick Of It. I couldn't help but feel cutting away from Clegg was a joke straight out of there.

    Yeah he said this hours ago on the BBC. He made a good point. For all that I dislike him, he does know a thing or two about making appearances

    You don't think I know that every day I am there.

    My 8 year old also likes the fact that he has been to Disneyland in California 10 times and it will be 11 this summer.

    Never mind the trust fund I pay into every month for 2 of them

    Stuff doesn't come for free.

    If my tax goes up, then i need to work much harder to make the difference up back to them

    I like Clegg so a bit sad for him. But I really hope the religious freak Farron loses his seat.

    That part was very funny. And agree, Armando Ianucci couldn't have written that better.
