hello steemians! the short uk election is over and the ballots are in!
update 13 - final outcome

Predictions of May weakening has come out true, this would certainly mean A tougher position of her in terms of negotiations, and what this could mean for briexit is likely a tougher more annoying work process.

uk election ends in a hung parliament, no party managed to get the required 326 seats to become a majority, this outcome will only fuel more uncertainty in May's plans for stability.

if you ask me, this feels like a huge win for labour who managed to gain a whooping 29 seats a minor government could potentially be formed here

Biggest losers of the election seems to be both conservatives and the Scottish national party, losing a combined amount of 33 seats (12 from the tories, 21 from the scottish party )

Turnout was 68.7%
