I'm trying not to get too excited, but early results are looking hopeful.

I have no idea what you mean; I meant that it looked like there was no majority, so hopefully your government can just sit on ass for however many years and just do nothing, and that'll probably be as efficient as you can expect.

If the Conservatives have no majority, May will be forced to resign. They may also be ousted by Labour if they manage to form a coalition government, depending on how many seats Labour hold.

In the event of a hung parliament, there must be another election within 8 months if none of the other outcomes occur. If that happens, I think Labour will make gains and either win outright, or win with a coalition government.
