As said on the BBC, Mays gamble has backfired in spectacular fashion.
I reckon May will be Prime Minister for the meantime, Arlene Foster is probably vital to Mays plans.
My opinion is Theresa May will form a Government with the DUP backing her, having the DUP onside gives her the magical 326, how long that can last I do not know, 6 months, maybe a year. Things like not doing the debates has jumped up and bit her.
I wonder how Northern Irelands Republicans will react to the Unionists having so much power right now.
As for the SNP, still the largest party North of the Border, but had a bad night, was surprised to see so many Tory gains in Scotland, Alex Salmond and Angus Robertson losing there seats is massive.
For Labour, Corbyn needs the support of every other party whereas May only needs the DUP.
The Tories managed to wipe out a majority of over 3000 down to about 500 in constituency
I dont fully understand it enough, I will leave the politics to people like Adrian to explain

More on the DUP.
The less said about Arlene Foster, the better.
I would recommend reading about the Green Energy fiasco.
