UK Election Result 2017 Live: PM Theresa May Moves To Form Government
The UK election ended in a hung parliament after Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservatives Party failed to win a majority in the poll, as predicted by the exit polls.
The margin of error in these exit polls is 20 seats, which leaves room for several scenarios:
Hung Parliament: No Clear Winner
If neither main party wins a clear majority, markets will have to deal with considerable uncertainty over who will form the next government
Landslide victory for May
A big majority would allow her to make compromises with Brussels , in contrast to a hardline approach to date
May Wins With Enhanced Majority
The Conservatives' lead fell sharply after May announced plans to make elderly voters pay more towards their old-age care
May Wins But No Overall Gains: 12-Seat Majority Or Less
With less room for manoeuvre domestically, she will be able to reject compromises proposed by Brussels
Corbyn Victory
A clear win for Corbyn would force many investors to redraw their assumptions on both Brexit and the fiscal outlook.
