I can't see there being a 4 way coalition.
If anything, it would be a minority government

There could be a coalition of national unity.

Brexit is the issue of a generation. Party politics needs to take a back seat, we need to get it over with and we need to stop navel gazing.

We're taking our eyes off the ball.

People are going to be pretty angry if we're meant to be starting negotiations with the EU in a few days and the Tories force us into another election in September.

Yep - that'd be 6 months wasted of the 2 years.

An incredibly reckless and irresponsible move to trigger article 50 and then a snap election.

No matter the outcome tonight Mayhem will go down in history as one of the worst PMs ever....

They'll bite the bullet too and promise another referendum on Brexit terms.

Here's hoping. That'd be a great outcome for democracy.

Best way to solve Brexit is to leave the EU and stay in the EEA - then we can all move on to more important issues with no hit to our economy and little need for endless, risky and complex negotiations.

This election result makes that a more likely outcome.

I'd be delighted to see the Tories surge in Scotland - especially with such a pro-EU leader - and a sensible, centrist, compromise Brexit that might lead to Scottish Indy being avoided looks more on the cards tonight than it did yesterday.

You're probably right given that we're looking at an extended period of chaos in Westminster and the clock is ticking.

I can see the EU telling us to postpone negotiations until our house is in order.

Yourself included.

So far it's +2.3 % Con.

We'll have to wait for the final count, but only Seabee42, breaking_free, and septemberblues can wear a smug face.
