Don't think anybody "won", which when all said and done is rather unique as far as elections go. The fact still remains that the Conservatives have the largest number of seats in the House of Commons and it will be Theresa May who will be asked to form a government - NOT Jeremy Corbyn.

I dare say that a deal will be cobbled together with the DUP to keep the cart on the track and because SF do not sit in the Commons means that the results in Northern Ireland work to the Conservatives advantage.

Nicola Sturgeon was the leader who looked shell shocked, from 56 seats she lost 21 of them - 12 of those to Tories. Two massive scalps taken with Angus Robertson and Alex Salmond. When they get back to the day job the SNP will have to put their Indyref2 on the back burner and get down to doing what they get paid for and should have been doing since 2007 - governing Scotland.
