Theresa May forms a government with DUP support after trip to Palace
The Herald/UK, Jun 9, 2017

Theresa May will form a government with the support of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).

Mrs May has been to Buckingham Palace to see the Queen this morning, where she told the monarch she could form a government in the wake of the disastrous snap election which has robbed Conservatives of their overall majority in the House of Commons.

She described the DUP - who won 10 of Northern Ireland's 18 seats - as 'friends' of the Conservative Party

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has urged her to resign and allow him to form a minority administration, declaring: "We are ready to serve this country."

....where she told the monarch she could form a government in the wake of the disastrous snap election which has robbed Conservatives of their overall majority in the House of Commons.

I'll never understand why politicians call for new elections.  This reminds me of PM Netanyahu's last call for elections.  He almost lost...and it took him weeks and several extensions from Rivlin to finally form a government.

The BBC reported this morning that May's probably safe until mid-summer.
