May said that if she loses 6 seats, she will lose the election and Corbyn will be Prime Minister. Can anyone clarify how that could be the case with 17 seat majority to start with?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
She had 331 seats, a majority of +5 more than the 326 required to hold government. She's suggesting if she didn't get an overall majority (ie lost 6 seats reducing her to 325) Labour would form a coalition with the other parties big enough to form a government with Corbyn as PM. Basically she has no allies, except UKIP I suppose but they look like losing their only seat so have nothing to offer her.

That's a bit like trying to decide who's the worst out of Pol Pot and Idi Amin....

A Mugabe wannabe versus the real deal? No brainer. ..

Cheers for the explanation Ace

Imagine a Labour and Conservative coalition...

If the poll is right, the Tories are going to lose seats and be unable to form a government under which case May has to resign tomorrow morning.

The dismal thought of Jeremy Corbyn being prime minister is only dwarfed by the horrors of Diane FatBot being home secretary, it could happen people.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
UKIP had one seat in parliament. Exit poll predicts them to lose it and have 0.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Didn't their 1 MP defect a few months ago?
