Mrs May has lost her majority: she has about 318 seats in a 650 seat Parliament without the Ulster Unionists. With them, she may be able to govern. But she is crippled. The good work Cameron did has been thrown away in the hope she would get a larger majority.
She has not.
The UK Independence Party collapsed, as predicted, and workers decided that May regulating all their speech was untenable, and voted for Corbyn, who did not campaign in a manner akin to a Robot or a Clinton.
May has to resign. She’s less viable as a national leader than David Cameron after Brexit. The reason for the Conservative Party collapse is obvious: UKIP’s growth was, in part, the result of Labour voters voting for Brexit. That accomplished, they had no reason to vote for the Tories once May revealed herself to be a feckless multiculturalists who was too thick to run on a pro-Brexit, anti-immigration line.
Her response to the two Muslim attacks sealed the loss of her Parliamentary majority. Everyone knew that she wasn’t going to do a damn thing about it. Furthermore, the press had painted Jeremy Corbyn as such a no-hoper that people felt safe voting for Labour as a protest vote.
I’m not at all worried about Brexit. If the political class attempts to spin the lack of support for an anti-Brexit prime minister as support for going back to the European Union, they’ll soon find out how little control they actually possess.
In Politics, always be grateful for what you’ve got. For you may not have it for long. Hubris is, by the electorate, punished.
It is worth noting that Boris Johnson got the tone right when he spoke after winning his seat.
It is early to comment on the events unfolding tonight in this General Election.
‘But one this is absolutely clear, I think to all of us who have been elected as MPs tonight across our fantastic country, that is we have got to listen to our constituents and listen to their concerns.’
He added: ‘I am proud to be re-elected as the member of parliament for Uxbridge and South Ruislip.’
Those who would be destroyed may not go mad, but the do get too much Pride. Boris does not have this fault. Yet.
May’s lost, along with the ascendance of the UDP, may have been the best possible outcome. The UDP has been rock solid standing against the spirit of this age: No abortion, no sodomy, sent the mohammedan foreigners home. The fact that May’s weakness forces her to elevate UDP is a huge win for those standing for the right in North Ireland.
