You would if the Tories and DUP formed an alliance, isn't that why 'Any other' is only about 3/1?

good thinking, am not sure to be honest, i just find it strange you can still back the majority at 500/1

have cashed out as dont want to give any winnings away from laying the conservatives on a majority and every seat number over

Some people who have won laying at shorter prices are sometimes happy to get out quicker than waiting for the market to close by laying at higher prices (even when impossible).

I looked at this 'any other' a few days ago and I did wonder if it was way over priced, it actually traded small at over 900/1 (with the possibility to trade on it if the Tories looked like they might struggle), but like most I thought a Tory majority was a given.

A mess. A dog's breakfast.

Do Brits really even want to leave the Eu?

The best thing to come out of this is the drubbing sturgeon got.

But quite honestly, if the conservatives can get the highest number of seats with such a poor campaign, and Corbyn throwing everything at it, it has to say something.

Conservatives gained a lot of votes in some seats but barely any seats out of it. A victim of the first past the post system that they've always supported.

With a hung parliament mess like today, we might as well have had PR.

The conservatives were the major winner from the first pass the post system. They only got about 5% higher total vote than labour but about 20% more seats.

She still has the most seats in Scotland, and still has a mandate to fight for the interests of Scotland.

Don't forget that.

The best part of this though is that May sought a hard Brexit, and to,d is to respect her authority so she can deliver that. We said no.

Yep it says how crap the tories are. They had the establishment, the gutter press and millions of pounds spent on their campaign. May flew around in a plane, Corbyn was on a bus or a train. He looked people in the eye. She avoided them or looked down her nose at them.
