British Prime Minister Theresa May had a disappointing night. She believed her Conservative Party would expand its Parliamentary majority by forty, fifty, or even sixty seats.

In the end, they actually lost ground instead. They won 318 or 319 seats (one seat is outstanding), eight less than a majority. To pass legislation, May’s government (again, the majority is 326 seats) must now rely on 10 Members of Parliament from Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).
