So Maybot's gamble spectacularly backfired/blew up in her face!
It was a disastrous night for Maybot after the worst campaign in living memory has left her looking weaker and wobblier than when she started.
Maybot is now fatally damaged. The U-turn on a poll has left her without the mandate she claimed she wanted. Instead she's relying on some really unsavoury religious nutjobs (and former terrrorists) from Northern Island to prop up her 'government'. #StrongAndStableMyArse
On the other hand, it was a brilliant night for Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour party as young people who often don't vote turned out in record numbers. Perhaps the referendum made them see the point of voting, perhaps they liked the manifesto and decided to vote FOR something, rejecting the right-wing press' bile. For Jeremy Corbyn to succeed despite the vilification, smears ans outright lies from the likes of the Daily Seig Heil, Bum etc was remarkable.
In comparison Maybot was terrible: from repeating slogans to evading questions to making u-turns on policies in her (uncosted) manifesto, her campaign was a shambles. Corbyn has been through 2 leadership elections while May was crowned leader. The difference showed. Her decision to duck out of the Cambridge debate made her look frit and Labour exploited it to the full.
I also hope that this election will be the end of the BBC's weird, almost fetishistic, obsession with UKIP. Particularly on #r4today.
The EU will be laughing all the way to the negotiating table.
