Boris's hair looks like Trump, but I'd say the similarities end there.

Both are racists and hate the poor. Both get away with being evil shitheads because they're portrayed as stupid clowns.

May done, a Cameron come back?

I would at least expect Boris to be able to competently run a government, not have half of his appointed positions unfilled, not be fighting with every member of the media/his own party, and not shitpost on Twitter at 3 am.

I thought he left Parliament.

The prime minister called the election because she wanted a mandate. Well, the mandate she’s got is lost Conservative seats, lost votes, lost support, and lost confidence. I would have thought that is enough for her to go, actually.

Special shoutout to J.K. Rowling, my favorite of the many shitty Blairites. She spent months whining about how unelectable Corbyn was and then ended up voting Lib Dem after that was proven untrue with the polling. All the talk of tactics and electoral appeal was in fact a red herring for centrist purity tests.

I believe the guy on the far right of that picture is Lord Buckethead. You can't make that shit up. Elmo was also on that stage farther to the right.

Also LOL at the self-satisfied American liberal pundits saying these results are because of Trump. I'm curious if they've reached that conclusion because they're completely ignorant of UK politics and have no other take to offer or if it's really just circling the wagons on neoliberal incrementalism being the actual winning message. Probably a little from column A, a little from column B.

I just can't believe May is still going to be in 10 Downing Street. She should resign her post after this entire debacle.

I agree. I am not sure if this is true, but someone in my office mentioned that the Tories lose the right to try to form a government if they change leadership. I am not sure exactly how it works in that regard. But that would be a reason not to resign at this point. And it also jives with Corbyn pushing her to resign.

I think this ends up with a fresh election in the near future.

Not going to lie, but watching how the UK and other parliamentary systems work really makes me wish the US could do away with the 2 party system. I know our system with a separate Executive Branch and a race of first to 270 makes this a pipe dream, but damn I'd love for it to happen.

Especially when you're someone who has no home in either party.

I'm far too socially left (and anti-war) for the Republicans and I'm far too economically right for the Democrats.

So the Tories did everything they could to lose, but won anyways.
